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.

Overall she was good with the children but poor with addressing concerns I have.My concern being vaccinations, I half expected this. She first claimed ignorance to the claims of of Dr. Thompson of the CDC and then assured me he had been discredited and told me she would provide materials or at least provide a link to support this and failed to do so. She also told me she does not provide information on the prevention on common childhood illnesses. Hardly what one would expect from your doctor.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Palakurthi?
My 11-year-old daughter saw Dr. Palakurthi on 9/16 and, after being told by the nurse that she tested positive for strep, the Docter rudely dismissed my daughter, saying, "What are you doing here?" and, "If I think she needs medicine, I'll call it in." My daughter still has white puss pockets in her throat and has yet to receive any medication.
