Southside Womens Center

Run!!!!! Horrible OBGYN doctor was awful, Doctor Khimani treated me like a number instead of a person. Went to hospital entered wrong side of building which was ER I was fully dilated had a regular doctor, treated me like cattle asking me a billion questions, drew my blood, made me sign 10 forms while I was having full contractions. Every woman's worst nightmare. Next pregnancy going to an entirely different hospital with entirely new Doctor, horrible experience in my life. I am a professional Executive with multiple degrees with a loving husband. I add this because I'm not a brainless child who happened to pop out a baby. Go somewhere else all mommas. she cut me and stitched me entirely wrong and had to use scissors to cute the extra skin for my two week visit after my baby was born. She should not be allowed to deliver babies or be an OBGYN she is a liability to the hospital she works at.

We used Dr Khimani for my wife's expected little bundle of joy. The doctor and staff would never remember the gender of the baby meaning they never reviewed the file before doing an examination. Office assistant "Holly" was rude on more than one occasion and even told us an appointment date and time that my wife discovered the day prior that did not exist. The ultrasound tech would rush us through the exam and out the door. She must have been late going to lunch I suppose. Many of the lab test performed were not necessary and could have been performed at another facility at half the cost. I paid for all of this myself so I have the right to be critical with the expectations.

Dr. Khimani review- please read as this is not the only complaint she has had as you may notice on the review below. The office environment is not so great, very old and very uncomfortable seating. A VERY LONG WAIT TIME TO BE SEEN! The staff ladies are not so nice, if you have a question you have to leave a voicemail to the doctors nurse Holly which typically doesn't get back to you and if you're lucky she will call you back within 3-4 days of leaving the message. The doctor is nice the only problem I had with her was that I was very sick with the flu and she had told me if I go sick to come to her office, well I got very sick on Friday my husband wanted to take me to an ER clinic but I said no since the doctor had said to go see her, so I waited until Monday to call and when I called they couldn't get me in as a walk in, after fighting to get seen since I was very sick the doctor finally agreed to see me and I drove an hour and a half to the doctors office, when I got there I waited for the longest time to be seen, when she finally saw me she didn't exam me or check my throat, fever, anything, she simply gave me a prescription, I was very upset and so was my husband she could have just sent the prescription to our local pharmacy if she knew what I had and what she was going to prescribe me. The second incident I had was when I said I've had it here, Im going to another obgyn. We we're scheduled for our gender reveal ultrasound on Friday, we had a family emergency and we had to leave that Wednesday, so I called Monday to see if I could get seen sooner but they had no availabilty, so I requested to get a prescription for an ultrasound at the hospital next door that could see me sooner, however the doctor didn't want me to do that because she wanted all the measurements of the baby, I called the hospital and they said they would send all that info over to her, so I called back and the doctor said no again, I asked if I had it done would she be in the room with me and she said no, so it made no difference where I had it done. Since her office has a private ultrasound, my husband thought perhaps she just wanted to get the money for the insurance instead of the hospital getting it if I did it thru them. We also felt that she made me go into see her when I was sick only for collecting the insurance money since she didn't even exam me. Overall I wouldn't recommend this doctor or the other doctor in her facility, bad experience over all.

Futures moms please be careful with this clinic. Dr. Pathikonda often runs unnecessary test and give her patients the wrong diagnosis. She mistake my pregnancy with endometriosis, ordered an in a rush endometrial biopsy that produced the lost of my pregnancy. Knowing she made a huge mistake she kept lying trying to cover her mistake and told me the baby would be just fine. One week after that I ended in the E.R. I lost my baby and almost lost my life. The Texas medical board has this report in case you wanna call them and verify. Please moms be careful
