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.

Office personnel are patient and friendly. Dr. Damaraju is patient and understanding. He asks for questions and explains them in a way that is understood. He is thorough in his questioning to understand what is occurring with the patient. He appears to want to do whatever is necessary in order to avoid any further damage to the kidneys.
