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.

She explained everything so well. I think she is very nice.

I was referred to Dr. Portugunta with low counts and then renal carcinoma. She has always treated me with compassion and professionalism. She and her staff responded to my urgency very quickly. Dr. Portugunta never rushes your appointment and is very friendly and straightforward. Her knowledge and experience is very apparent. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Pothugunta has been following me for about four years. When my blood minerals and vitamins had been dangerously depressed due to my digestive disorder, she was able to order treatments and prescriptions to help let me lead a more normal life. She listens very carefully and recalls the tiniest details from prior visits. She also works closely with my other physicians - checking my renal function before other major treatments to be sure I can safely receive them.

Great bedside manner and great listener. I switched from another female doctor who did not appear to listen as well or be as understanding. I have been satisfied with Dr Pothugunta, you can understand her english is great.

I would highly recommend Dr. Pothugunta to friends and family. I find her to be a very knowledgeable and compassionate doctor. I am very pleased with the amount of time and commitment she exhibits - from an office visit to returning a call after hours. An exemplary physician and her patients are lucky to have her.
