Mr. Rajendraprasad V Makam

Go in if you want to get scammed - I was diagnosed with a way more serious condition which didn't even exist and I ended up spending over $2k over it. I went to another doctor for second opinion after that because my condition didn't improve, and found it was a simple lactose intolerance that I developed, which doesn't need 2k to fix!!! I had to keep calling his office multiple times for my medical reports, which is my right to receive immediately. They kept on sending me bills and when I asked for an itemized bill - they said they are going to send my bill to collection agency when I told them that I won't pay without an itemized bill. By this time I already shelled out $2k. Horrible experience is an understatement for this doctor and his office.

I don't know how on earth can he have a high rating.

Terrible. The office staff and nurses do not answer the phone. I have left multiple messages and they never return calls. I finally was able to get an appointment but had to leave after waiting 45 minutes without seeing the Dr. I have been seeing Dr Makam for 17 years and have never had an issue before this year.

Great as a specialist love his services and employees.

Excellent physician with great bedside manners. Does not rush to get through the visit. Answers questions without hesitations no matter how stupid the question may seem He has a very efficient and pleasant office staff that is a rare find these days Excellent physician with great bedside manners.

The moment I arrived starting with the receptionist, the check-in nurses, the anesthesiologist and Dr. Makan it was excellent Customer Service. I was uncomfortable the first time I've been there but everyone made me feel comfortable and welcomed. I will definitely tell my family and friends of the great care I was given.

Dr Makam is an outstanding Gastroenterologist. He is kind and caring. Always spends time listening to patients. Very professional.

Dr. Makam is a thorough professional and he is also a kind man. I trust this warm and engaging doctor completely. I am extremely pleased with his care.

Dr. Makam is a personable and knowledgeable doctor. I have been very pleased with the care I receive from him. He has literally saved my life twice! The front office crew and nurses there are top notch as well!

I had went to Dr Makam for some GI issues that a previous GI doctor couldn't figure out. I am grateful that I had stumbled across Dr. Makam. I went in for my first appointment and met Dr Makam he was very nice, patient and courteous. I finally was able to get an answer to my symptoms and feel relief. No procedures were mentioned just a simple medication that fixed my issue. Dr Makam is great I highly recommend him to others and will be making him my permanent GI doctor.

Visited Raj M for evaluation of a minor rectal discharge. Office has multiple signs of 'you paying Money on time'. Poor bedside manners, ex. laughing and saying 'you didn't do any online research about your problem before coming here'; inappropriately loud so patients in other rooms could hear him. I heard him talk to patients in other room while I waited in my room. Does not show genuine interest in your problem (did not inspect my rectal problem area; Also, his genius guesswork response to burping issues was 'stop drinking milk'; how about doing some diagnosis or tests or asking me whether I even drink milk at the first place). Markets/Sells Colonoscopy Procedure because he does not do guesswork as he owns colonoscopy equipment in the office (costs $2000 & of course I am responsible for it). Some staff members may create the sense of fear/urgency to sell the procedure. It felt like I went to a sales/marketing office selling colonoscopy procedure rather than feeling like going to a specialist who would put in genuine effort to understand my problem by doing initial diagnosis during my visit. Sends $240 bill for 5 minutes of his 'initial consultation' time to sell a higher billing procedure.

QUITE SIMPLY, HE SAVED MY LIFE! He diagnosed my ovarian cancer before my Ignorant gynecologist did. He is extremely thorough, compassionate and has an incredible sense of urgency when needed. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at stage 3C and 2 years later still being treated but thanks to dr. Makam I am still alive to talk about it. If my gynecologist had any clue of the signs of ovarian cancer and listened to my symptoms, I could have been diagnosed much sooner an earlier stage. Dr makam was smart enough to take the extra step of ordering a ct scan when I had severe abdominal pains and my colonoscopy was good...thank god he did because the cancer had spread to the outside of my colon, not the inside...which is why I was having abdominal pain. When I told my gyn about my abdominal pains, she said it was stress and should get a massage and sent me on my way with probiotics!

Dr. Makam ordered a Endoscopy and a colonoscopy for me in 2009. After being diagnosed with H-Pylori by another physician I came to him to make sure it was gone. He treated me with respect and not just a number. I had some problems with my stomach, but the biggist problem was the cancerous tumor he found in my colon. Without his help I would not be alive today. I had stage III colon cancer and no other doctors would listen to me since I was only 48. Thank you Dr Makam for saving my life!!

He doesn't listen, has already decided what is wrong before he even talks to you or examines you. Doesn't ask appropriate questions, just tries to 'wow' you with random trivia that I already know.Even when you tell him the problems are new,out of the blue, acute, he doesn't listen and just treats you like some idiot that came in for old chronic symptoms that I'm NOT having. I think he was high at the time. He ordered a colonoscopy just for the money, since he had already decided the bleeding was from a hernia he already knows I have, while TOTALLY IGNORING the new and sudden symptoms that were more likely related to the previous day's dietary and construction-chemical mishaps. The nurse who took the intial notes all but outright said she didn't care (and half slipped saying exactly that) no telling how error-ridden her notes were.
