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 good
Very pleased.

This entire office is fantastic. They are hands down the BEST . Dr Chellamutha pays attention to detail. He checks every lab and someone from the office will call you immediately if any labs are not within normal limits. They have worked my mother in anytime she has needed to be seen. His entire staff from receptionist to the nurse practitioner and of course his nurse Nicole are the best . They always call me back if I have ever had any questions or concerns EVEN if it has been after hours. I wish I had found them for my Mother sooner. Dr. Chellamutha is fantastic!

This doctor is outstanding and treats my grandfather with such kindness and respect, every visit I know will be fast informative and respectful. I really wish there were tons more doctors like him. I had to leave a review because he’s one in a million. Him and his staff are all smiles and treat people the right way for sure.

When my PCP wanted me to see a kidney doctor, We got the appointment scheduled the next day. On the day of appointment, we hardly waited more than 10 minutes before seen by the doctor. He is very pleasant, listens to you patiently and you could tell that he is very knowledgeable and knows what he is doing... overall, a great experience.

Worst Doctor ever. Thinks he knows everything. Doesn't listen to your concerns just sits there and nods his head and gets his money. Nurses are rude and incompetent. No test are done in the office, nothing. Do not go there and wast your time or money.

Dr. Chellamuthu is a wonderful doctor! He emphasizes prevention of disease and takes time with you as he explains and "teaches" the reasons for his treatment plan. I would highly recommend him not only for anyone with nephrology needs, but also for anyone who wants to focus on being health in general in all aspects of the body. I appreciate his knowledge, wisdom, experience and mostly his honesty!

I've been driving to Birmingham for my Kidney problems until a friend recommended Dr. Chellamuthu. It was one of the best decisions I've made in the last few years. I used to spend the whole day at my doctors office in BHM but the whole appointment here takes less than an hour. The office staff is very knowledgable and friendly. Dr. Chellamuthu is very personable, listens to you, takes time to answer all your questions. My score is 100/100
