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.

Seen promptly. The Dr was pleasant, courteous and informative.

I was so impressed and gratified by this doctor and the staff at the office. I was seen quickly and efficiently despite having been worked into the schedule just a day ahead (for a hand injury). The doctor was knowledgeable, thoughtful, kind, and very clear.

Very professional and customer friendly. This was my first visit but I was treated as a long-time patient. Good follow-up to my surgery that went very smoothly.

Excellent bedside manner, patient and attentive. Those are my main requirements, that a doctor cares enough to listen, to not rush, and to make sure we're on the same page before moving forward. I felt Dr Durbhakula's care was real and happily recomend him to others

I was hesitating to write this review because the Dr. Durbhakula was very nice to the patient like me. However, my tiger-finger operation for right-hand ring-finger he did in May, 2019 did not go well. After the operation several physical therapies were no help. The cut was all the way to the fold-line of the palm and a lump of ~6 mm in diameter under the fold-line causing the finger stiff and curved. After waiting for more than year the lump does not seem to go away. It is now more uncomfortable than before the operation. Several years ago, I had this type of tiger-finger operations for two other fingers (right-hand middle and left-hand ring) done by different physician. It was just perfect, showing only slight cut mark far above of fold-line. Unfortunately, with this problem now, I prefer to use my left hand more than my right.

Dr. Durbhakula treated me twice for trigger finger (in two different fingers). He was always the consummate professional, and his caring attention to detail, his genuine concern, and his expert explanation of the skeletal hand anatomy was amazing. He is a rare find find that I would highly recommend.

Mahidhar Durbhakula is the consummate physician. When I went into his office I had a broken wrist and spirit. He fielded every one of my grumpy question patiently, going so far as to call Switzerland to answer one about titanium. He performed extremely difficult surgery on me, and gave me back my wrist. I have regained incredible flexibility in both directions and the pain is gone.He is a doctor among doctors and a good, kind, decent man as well. God bless this great soul and surgeon!
