Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
An excellent doctor and very balanced, and thorough. He is very friendly and concerned about me as a person.PJG

I recently moved to the area and was in need of a primary care physician. A coworker referred me to Dr. Arulandu by chance. I’ll keep this short as possible, but upon meeting Dr. A I knew I had come to right doctor. What a pleasant experience to say the least. From the moment I walked in, and being greeted by the staff, to the nurse practitioners, till meeting Dr. A…professionalism, kindness and care was consistent throughout. I bring this up only because this is not the case everywhere you go. If you’re new to the area as I was, or merely searching for a new PCP/family Doctor, I highly recommend Dr. Aruladu and staff! Stay safe everyone!

My first time visiting this doctor and doctor’s office. Everyone in the office was very nice and friendly. Doctor is very personable and easy to talk to. I actually felt like I’ve known him for many years. That’s a good quality to have in a doctor. He also refilled my existing Rx which I had been having trouble getting filled with other doctors who apparently don’t like to refill things they didn’t prescribe.

He's too busy never takes the time to hear your conditions. He just wants to give you another pill. Doesn't take the time to resolve your issues!
