Prateek C. Gandiga, MD, FACP

Dr. Gandiga is wonderful! He is patient, kind, and really takes his time with you. He Is not just a great Dr. He Is an amazing person! He explained my condition to me and gave me options. I felt seen and heard! I will definitely recommend him to anyone that needs a rheumatologist!

Could be much better than what it is.

Dr. Gandiga is always informative, detailed and thorough, when giving results, recommendations, and answering my questions.

My visit with Dr. Gandiga was a very good one. He was patient and gave me a sense that he understood my concerns. I felt better about getting to my correct diagnosis.

Dr. Gandiga possessed every good attribute a physician should have. He was friendly, compassionate, listened, explained the diagnosis and treatment options/plan, and demonstrated a true caring attitude.

Dr G is one of the best doctors I have had at Emory

Dr. Gandiga showed up an hour late and then rushed me through my appointment. He was walking out the door after ten minutes when I was still asking him questions, and he spoke to me in patronizing tones.

Dr Prateek Gandiga, MD is always the best prepared and best knowledgeable person about me, the patient, than and Doctor!It is very apparent that he has done his homework before seeing his Patient! Dr Gandiga makes you feel like you are the only patient he has seen or will see today! I am thankful that I am he's patient!Outstanding service!!!

I will be referring one of my real relatives to him by the summer time

I am very happy with the care and concern Dr Gandiga has for my disease and the treatment we discuss at each visit. Dr. Gandiga is very professional and caring.

Dr Gandiga is a great doctor. However, he needs support staff like PAs to help him prepare/ take care of more minor visits. The system at this office is not working.

Good

Dr. Gandiga is very thorough with his questions regarding my health and lifestyle. And not judgmental!

Great bedside manner!

Everything is very good

Dr. Gandiga is thorough, knowledgeable and helpful.

Dr. Gandiga was very thorough and personable.

My appointment with Dr. Gandiga went very well. It's important to have a pleasant physician because that makes it easier for me to express and discuss my health concerns. Dr. Gandiga had already reviewed my labs and did a recap from a previous visit. That was part of the planning for future treatments that we discussed. He looked at my numbers/trend as discussed the effectiveness of the treatment plan. He encouraged me to continue with the aquatics and exercise program and follow up with him when needed. Overall, great encounter with Dr. Gandiga.

Very good provider of my health care.

Dr. Gandiga was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We decided that my arthritis was not serious enough to require further treatment at this time.

Great bedside manners. Pleasant and gentle

Very thorough in his explanation, great bed side manner

Dr. Gandiga was very thorough, methodical, patient and professional.

Dr. Gandiga is great. He has an awesome bedside manner, he interacts with me and my family, shows kindness, understanding, and empathy .

He explained everything very well and he listened well

Did not get follow up appt and did not get heard on my symptoms or the future treatment. I just did not feel like this was a good appt at all

My appointment with Dr. Gandiga went well. He was attentive. Our dialogue was great discussing my current medications and plans going forward. He listened as I provided updates. Remained knowledgeable of my progress and what's occurring with me. Continues to communicate with my kidney specialist.

This provider would ask me a question and not listen to me. He would repeat the questions later in the conversation and would be condescending when I answered again. It was only until he realized that I was a horse that he was a little more patient. He was also inappropriate with his knee placement between my legs and when he moved in between my legs further to do his assessment I put his hand on my knee, told him I was uncomfortable and told him to move back.

I love Dr. Gandinga

Very good

Good

Doctor is good overall. Very competent.

Dr Gandiga listened carefully to my concerns. He was clear in his answers. I felt he cared for me and my recovery

I strongly rely on him and he does a wonderful job explaining things to me

Dr Gandiga is exceptional

Good

Great job!

The Doctor was really concern about me.

Dr. Ghandiga is an excellent physician. As a new patient seeing him for the first time, he was very thorough and demonstrated a great knowledge base of my medical issue.

Good

To be honest, I felt that the provider did not spend any time at all reviewing my chart before the visit since my prior encounter in the Spring. Since then I have gone through bilateral breast cancer surgery which may or may not have explained my high value on the abnormal IG SSA Shogren's test that I had been referred for by my PCP. I get that Rheumatologists get a lot of complex cases, but the least he could have done was to do a very cursory review prior to my visit. At the first visit he preferred to go through his own list of symptoms and seemed to be impatient when I tried to talk. He seems like he would be fine with a very well confirmed and interesting diagnosis, though.

He is a brilliant doctor with excellent communication skills.

Excellent care. Answered all concerns.

Dr takes the time to ensure that I understand his concerns.

The doctor was able to deal with my emotions due to frustration. He finally described how my childhood condition disappeared. He not only discussed treatment with me and not at me, he wrote everything down and I could read his handwriting! I'll admit I was unsure about him after the televisit and was giving him a fair shot before I asked for a transfer. Now he's stuck with me! I don't go with my gut very often but I'm convinced he's one of the good ones.

Will answer any question. Will connect with my other doctors to make sure everyone concurs with my optimal treatment

Dr. Prateek was exceptional. Very pleased with his knowledge and explanations regarding my diagnosis, the latest on the study of, and treatments for, etc. He used easy to understand verbiage, and professional and intentional. I will certainly recommend him to others.

Always a great and rewarding visit. I feel better after talking with the Dr. Gandiga.

Having Dr. Gandiga as part of my care team is great. I appreciate his responsiveness and the thoroughness of his care in establishing a care plan. I am always included in decisions about my health.

Dr. Gandiga was thoughtful and knowledgeable. He listened to my concerns and ordered further tests, also recommending a supplement for me to take in the meantime.

My visit with Dr. Gandiga was well worth the wait of 3 months. He was pleasant, professional, and very thorough. His explanations and future heathcare plans were communicated well. I wish that I'd met him sooner. I feel comfortable saying that, moving forward with Dr. Gandiga and his staff, my Healthcare is great.

Great physician, made me feel very comfortable despite telemedicine

My experience was very good. I was very satisfied

Dr Gandiga was very nice and apologetic about the delay. He was a good listener and explained everything very well.

Dr. Gandiga is a great rheumatologist, however his inability to stick to a schedule is a problem. He is never on time for his appointments

It takes forever for hm to get to you BUT then you realize why. He takes his time, listens to you, explains everything, and makes a treatment plan you agree with.

He was late to my appointment time and then kept getting phone calls that he said he needed to take and abruptly left. I have yet to know if/why I need to return. I feel like I'm being strung along for money.

I love Dr Gandiga, and I'm happy to wait for him because he is kind and spends time listening to his patients.

My interpretation of the appointment was Dr. Gandiga was going to provide drug sheets for me to read so assist selecting what needs to be added to my list of meds. I have attempted 2 searches of the portal and did not find them. I did receive the list of meds he suggested but will have to rely on Mr. Google (as my minister calls it) to do the research for me. Probable not as effectively as what he could offer.

I had Dr Gandiga for a long time and is very satisfied with him

Dr. Gandiga was friendly, knowledgeable, and concerned about my condition. He provided several options about what could be done to help me through this time, and he had me schedule future blood work and a future in-person appt.to discuss the results.

Dr. Gandiga is always so personable and informative.

My condition is BEYOND needing immediate attention, and I was treated as just an everyday patient. I definitely wouldn't recommend if the person is in the same dire need as I am!

Excellent personal attention with kindness.

Easy and comfortable visit.

Excellent doctor.

I think Dr Gandiga listens very well and has a genuine care and concern for his patients. I have recommended him to my niece.

Very detailed discussion of my problem. Next steps were clear.

He was extremely thorough and he listened to my concerns. He was just phenomenal with the entire appointment.

Outstanding job, thank you!

Dr Gandiga always gives me a say in my meds and makes me feel like I'm part of the health team so that's good.

Dr. Gandiga is always pleasant, professional, knowledgeable, and gives complete and comprehensive information.

Dr. Gandiga conveyed a great deal of pertinent information in a relatively short time.

Dr. Gandiga always listens and addresses all of my concerns. I know that he cares and I trust him.

All good!

Dr. Gadinga was patient, attentive, and thorough. So far, there has been no definitive diagnosis, so long-range treatment is not available yet.

Very good experience with Dr.Gandiga and staff

Good experience

It was a good experience and the doctor was easy to talk with. Very congenial. He made the visit a comfortable one.

I am very satisfied with the treatment and plans for the future arranged with Dr. Gandiga.

Dr. Gandhinga is a delightful person and gives his full attention during each visit.

Dr.Gandiga was very educational

The service was outstanding thanks

The Dr. Was great. He took time to explain everything and answer all of my questions.

Excellent doctor

Excellent visit on all fronts.

Out of all my drs this is one of 2 that has taken time to listen to me , care and try to treat or defer with good cause reason medical explanation. He is a good Dr and I'm sure all his patients find comfort in knowing he is their provider for care

Dr Gandiga even wrote down notes about pain relief options for me

Best I ever encountered any where

I have been a patient of Dr. Gandiga for over 7 years, his bedside manner, his knowledge of my medical status is top tier. We make decisions about my car together. Never at anytime do I feel he does not know what he is talking about. I would never dream of seeing another rheumatologist.He is the BEST!!!!!

Dr Gandiga have always shown my best interest for my health care. What ever I don't understand he explains

Outstanding care provider

Dr Gandiga is the BEST!

Dr Gandiga was very caring and courteous. He spent time looking over my past records, explaining differential diagnosis and all the pros and cons of treatments. He referred me to a respective specialist. I would highly recommend him.

My overall experience with the providers was excellent. Professional, timely, the exchange of conversation, listening to me and thorough discussion of healthcare options.

Dr. Gandiga is very good at listening, explaining and giving the patient the time needed. He's very thorough and caring.

Excellent first meeting with Dr. Gandiga. He was extremely thorough and helpful. I really appreciate the time he gave me.

Dr. Prateek is very thorough and professional. He cares about his patients and looks for solutions to form the very best care for his patient.

Dr. G is amazing at presenting all of my treatment options and keeping me in the loop for decision making.

Dr. Gandiga is always kind and thoughtful. He's a gem.

Dr. Gandiga is very detailed specialist. He explained many possible treatments to me.

Dr. Gandiga rarely listens to how I, the patient feels. He has zero recommendations on my care and is very dismissive.

This was such a positive surprise! I have consulted with so many specialists and Dr Gandiga was actively listening, was personable and compassionate. It was a surprise because my previous (non Emory) experiences were not positive, and rheumatologists were so dismissive

Good

Dr. G always includes me and my husband (my caretaker) in all decisions and discussions.

The doctor is clearly knowledgeable and attentive WHEN there is sufficient time for him to attend. This visit was wonky.

Incredibly wonderful physician!

After suffering for years and desperate for answers I honestly didn't feel the Doctor took me serious and just assumed what he thought was causing my vast list of symptoms that's making my life miserable. Just didn't feel he was sympathetic and really determined to find the root cause. Very discouraged after the appointment and felt it was a waste of my time.I don't need a sleep study nor a psychiatrist. I struggle with debilitating anxiety that's triggered by severe pain. It's extremely heartbreaking to feel helpless!

At times I feel Gandiga dismisses my concerns or provides alternate causes without considering that I know my body/system very well and have been living with my condition a very long time. I'm well educated and know when things are not right or are changing. I would not recommend this provider to others because of wait time.

Gandiga always present multiple options to help better my condition.

I'm very fortunate and blessed to have Dr Gandiga in my teme care, he is very prepared, attentive and compassionate. God bless him always.

Dr. Gandiga is great

I love Dr Gandiga!

Dr Gandiga is an excellent doctor. The level of care is superb. It's consistent and concise. My only issue and concern is appointment availability.

Dr. Gandiga was so personable and knowledgeable. He explained things above my head and then broke them down for me. He was awesome.

The doctor was thorough and thoughtful.

I am very pleased with the care D. Gandiga provides.

Everyone was courteous and professional. Very kind staff. Dr. Prateek is very detailed with great bedside manners. Very knowledgeable and answered all questions I had. Only part I didn't like was getting an appointment, but that's understandable, because of the patient load. Other than that, my experience was awesome!

Felt very well listened too, informed, & didn't feel rushed. He took his time to explain everything & listen to all concerns

Very informative, caring and understanding. Highly recommend Dr. Gandiga. He stayed late to take care of helping me feel better.

Dr. Gandiga ALWAYS discusses treatment options with me and my husband.

"Dr. G gets it. His excellent treatment, curiosity, investigative mind, and ability to connect make him stand out. If you want a masterclass in watching a doctor bring medical knowledge and build rapport, watch this guy.

The doctor was so through!!

MY DR. IS GOOD

Dr. Gandiga is an excellent care provider. He's thorough and patient but he doesn't realize he's very popular which makes follow up visits in a time sensitive manner very difficult.
