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.

Horrible! ZERO stars
He was screaming at me at one visit and actually left the room in a rage and I was escorted out the back door so other patients wouldn't see me crying. I had horrible sores and complications for 9 months and had to go back at least once a week for these complications and my procedures have left me with horrible scaring that I will never be able to fix.

Medical Professional?
After twice having my appointment rescheduled, I met with Dr. Elluru. He made no effort to verify the diagnosis and brushed off my questions. He gave me three courses of action I could take. Without further explanation, or recommendation, he told me to choose which course I wanted to take. He left the exam room and approximately five minutes later a staff member came in to ask me what I had decided. Based on conversations with fellow workers who had the same condition, I decided on an outpatient procedure. The day of the procedure, the Doctor came into the treatment room and informed me that he "needs to focus on the procedure and can't answer any questions." The injection for the local anesthetic was excruciating. I returned a week later to have the incision inspected and the dressing changed. I returned a week after that to have the stitches removed. Both services were performed by staff. Find a Doctor who views people as patients, not simply as sources of revenue.

Do NOT go to this office! I have had laser done MULTIPLE times in the past to my face with FABULOUS results, but NOT here!!! I decided to try Dr. Elluru’s practice after the Dr.’s split and my regular esthetician left. WORST experience of my life! First degree BURNS on my face from the laser! I still have red spots on my face and the dark spots are still present. I have NEVER had results like these in the past!! Due to the circumstances, I called and requested a refund on a cream I purchased and was suppose to pick up at a future visit. Unfortunately, they will not call me back. I’m seeking medical treatment from a trusted outside physician and I just want my money back for what I have NOT received, so I can move on. Why is that too much to ask? I will not Go back to this establishment and I recommend you take my advise And do the same! This is FRAUD! The office is nice until complications arise. I would attach pictures of my face as proof, but the site won’t let me:(

I had surgery trauma that held me back from doing a procedure that I had wanted to do for a very long time. I went to a few consultations of varying plastic surgeons and found that he was the most honest, personable and caring. My surgery experience was amazing. The team that worked with him was so comforting and reassuring during the process. I woke up with minimal pain and had no post operative bruising and very minimal swelling. I feel as though this experience has exceeded my expectations.

He was incredibly disrespectful to me. Interrupted my explaining how I injured my hand. Derisive and condescending attitude that I just couldn't believe coming from a doctor. I don't know how he gets/keeps any patients with his attitude. I would never recommend him to a friend or an enemy. Just short of verbal abuse.

His staff is wonderful. My husband nearly took his fingers off with a circular saw and we were referred to him by Oaklawn Emergency Dept.. His nurse Haley was great working to get the wrap off that had been on almost 4 days. He came in and was rude and just ripped it off. Cannot get it to stop bleeding in those two spots now. He then told me as I am crying that it was all psychological that he would give my 54 year old husband a lollipop and sticker. We will not go back.

The front desk treated me like an idiot! She acted like I was invisible. The rest of the staff was just as rude. The office was filthy. I would not recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Elluruc took the time to explain my surgery. He even called me the day after to make sure I was doing ok and ask if I had any questions. I would recommend him to anyone considering any type of plastic surgery.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Elluru. I had both my hands operated on for carpel tunnel. He explained each procedure to the fullest and answered any and all questions that I had to the fullest. He calmed my nerves with his humor. I have recommended him to others. Thank you Dr. Elluru!!!

I will never go back! Dr. Ellaru talked to me and my husband like we were idiots. Said he couldn't explain procedure because it was too complicated for me to understand. When I asked a question he became frustrated and asked if I want a second opinion. I just wanted to know how long recovery is.
