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.

Great team
Dr Nuthakki and his nurse practitioner Kaitlin are a great duo. Very caring. My only complaint is that my insurance required a prior authorization for a medication. They recommended I use Goodrx to pay for it and would not do the prior authorization.

Car Accident 50 years ago
I had a car accident 50 years ago that has left me with tremendous arthritic pain. I developed Meralgia Paresthetica and was sent to Dr. Nuthakki by my GP. He was as caring and attentive as any doctor I have ever been to. Ordered tests and we discussed what would be the best approach for my condition. He listens and evaluates along with me. My only drawback from his office is the person who makes the appointments. She is rude, talks over people and always acts as if the person she is speaking to is dumb. I wish he would replace her.

DR. NUTHAKKI IS A VERY GOOD, EXPERIENCED AND A PLEASANT DOCTOR, MY ISSUE IS HIS MEDICAL ASSISTANT NAME STEPHANIE, I DON'T FEEL LIKE SHES KNOWLEDGEABLE. I SPOKE WITH HER TODAY AND UNDERSTAND THAT SHE SPEAK VERY SLOWLY. SHE TOLD ME NOT TO INTERRUPT HER WHILE SHES SPEAKING, SHE TALKED TO ME LIKE A KID! I'M AN ADULT, AND FRUSTRATED ABOUT MY HUSBAND SUFFERING FROM PAIN. ALL I WANT HER TO EXPLAIN TO ME WAS WHAT IS THE DOCTORS PLAN?? AS A MEDICAL ASSISTANT I'M EXPECTING HER TO BE KIND AND COMPASSIONATE. SHES VERY RUDE TALKING TO ME. I HOPE PATIENT WILL NOT ENCOUNTER WHAT I EXPERIENCED WITH MEDICAL ASSISTANT (STEPHANIE) TODAY.

Dr. Nuthakki has been tremendously helpful in helping me with my pain and getting to the source of it. Has tremendous amount of patience, never rushes during appointment, recommends procedures he thinks are appropriate to the pain problem and area, and doesn’t give up on you. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family.

I have been to several spine physicians in the area. They either wanted to give me pain pills or inject me. Dr. Nuthakki took time to review my mri pictures with me, pointed out what he thought was causing my pain and explained the benefits and drawbacks of each treatment option he offered. He recommended trying therapy and alternative medications to pain pills. Although I think that pain pills are what I need to keep moving, I will try what he recommends.
