Patient Reviews
Feb 28, 2023
Dr. A. Kotha has been my mother's rheumatologist for over 20 years. In that time, she has been great in her care. She has been very friendly and more concerned about my mother than her PCP's, often ordering labs when her PCP did not. God bless her.
Thank you for sharing your feedback about Dr. Akther Kotha, MD.
