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.

Very confident in Dr Uppalapati and staff!
Been a patient of Dr Uppalapati for a number of years now and I'm quite pleased with care I've received. Dr Uppalapati is aptly qualified and is able to address all my medical concerns in a professional and compassionate manner whilst being direct and NO NONSENSE in her approach towards a treatment plan. Staff is wonderful also! They have always worked me in if I've been sick and needed to be seen, and on the ball with making sure any and all lab requisitions are faxed to appropriate facilities in a timely manner so I don't have to worry about it; as well as any correspondence that may be needed. It is handled! Excellent office, only hope they continue to take my insurance because I don't have any plans on going to another practice. Would not hesitate to recommend them!

Dr. Uppalapati & Her Office are worth 10 Stars
I have been going to Dr. Uppalapti for several years. In my first visit she distinguished herself. I was going to Ethiopia on a mission trip and wanted to discuss needed vaccines. She had researched it prior to my visit and was prepared, not one of these things were she looks it up while I'm in the exam room. Over the years she has always been very proactive about caring for my health. For example, I went today and she also asked if I had my annual eye exam and mentioned that next year I would be due for my colonoscopy. If you want a primary physician that has a heart of gold, intelligent and proactive then look no further. She also has long term office staff who are exceptional. I've had times in the past where I needed to see the doctor and they have gotten me in the same day. They are also very caring and competent. Her office is conveniently located near I-4, is a single practice, no PA and she spends the proper amount of time with you. I highly recommend her.

Extremely disappointed
Pt for 16 yrs. I needed a vital refill for meds would not refill because I had not visited. I’m also a pt at Mayo for a serious illness and they have access to these records, for yrs I go to Mayo several x a year so I’m receiving the best of care. Would not even fill for 5 days while on vacay. I understand policies , but I then tried to call back and my calls were intentionally ignored. I called from a different number and the phone was answered on the first ring. The receptionist was incredibly disrespectful. I will never tolerate being treated this way especially from a health care provider. I’m in my 50’s and was forced with the inconvenience of finding a new provider. I’ve left the practice for a new physician.

I love Dr. Uppalapati, she is a NO nonsense doctor, She gives you her medical opinion based on lab values, weight, etc. She is conservative which is not a bad thing because you always want to try less invasive and lower side effect options. I have been with her for the last 7 years and my whole family sees her. The staff are very friendly and accomodating.

Dr. Uppalapati has been our doctor since relocating to the area in 2010. Her and her staff are caring and knowledgable. You never have to wait for your appointment. Whenever I need to see them they fit me in. They were great with my 90 year old mom as well until she passed. If you are looking for a doctor who will understand your needs and provide you with great care this is the doctor.

They make you feel like you are always in great hands no matter the severity of the ailment. I highly recommend this practice for you to be your primary physician.

I have been going to Dr. Uppalapati for years. She was the only Dr to recognize some of my symptoms might need a specialist and she worked with the cardiologist to see me quickly. My mom and my husband both now see her as their Dr as well. She is reserved, but genuine and kind. Her staff has been the same for years, which speaks volumes (!) and Shereen and Carina are personable and helpful. The entire office makes me feel welcome and is always willing to help.

She is excellent. Caring, thorough and competent. I would give her 10 stars if I could. She is a great coordinator of your care and an excellent primary care physician! I have been going to her for several years. On my first visit I was going to a mission trip to Ethiopia and was so impressed that she took the time, in advance, to research the vaccinations needed. I'm so grateful for her and her staff, this is a very special practice.
