5 /5 Marjorie Santos: Dr. Katta has been my father’s Primary Care Provider (PCP) for appox 15 years. Throughout the last six years, I’ve had the honor of learning from Dr. Katta and working closely w/him to care for my father. As a nurse and caregiver for my father, Dr. Katta is an ideal PCP in that he has been supportive of our family, responds immediately (if not Jackie-MA responds) to messages and requests, attentive to lab results showing poor medication adherence, advocating for medical devices such as Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) given my father’s cognitive decline, and dedicated to the control and management of my father’s chronic conditions.
Diabetes management has been the greatest challenge for my father as I’m sure is the case for many patients. Dr. Katta worked w/us closely to modify insulin dosages to improve A1C. He refers to objective trends, showing patterns over time from glucose monitors and/or CGM, clearly showing times in the day or more specifically meals that correlate to hyperglycemia. Diet for my father continues to be the root of the problem in addition to my father’s stubbornness. Dr. Katta has gone above and beyond to listen to my frustrations as a caregiver, but also celebrate to small wins. He’s referred my father to all the appropriate specialists that my father has needed more as he aged.
To state that I am truly grateful to Dr. Katta for continuing to work w/my father over decades is an understatement! Dr. Katta has shown extreme patience as my father has been a barrier to his own well-being as he tries to maintain his independence. With Dr. Katta’s help, my father has improved his health perspective and invested in working toward better chronic disease management. If you are searching for a provider, I would highly recommend Dr. Kata.
