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.

Review
Dr Uppala has been out of office since April 2023 came back in September.l had a appointment in October on a Monday and they called on Friday to cancel cause she was going to not be there on again on Monday.. Wanted to make another appointment for sometime next year..So l have found another doctor that can see me and has a better rating than her... She also did not give a explanation for being out so long..

New Patient
Scheduled a new patient appointment via phone and was told when I got there that she was not taking new patients. After that was sorted out, Dr. Uppala did not really listen and offered little to no advice to my concerns. Clinic took a week to call me with my lab results. I needed routine medications refilled and when I called, was told she was out of the office for 3 months and they could not refill any medications and to call my old doctor as she has not taken over my medications even though she was my new PCP and I had established care with her. After I told them I could not as my insurance had changed and I could not go back to see them for refills, I was told basically 'oh well' and to get my meds over the counter. Overall just really disappointed with the care of the doctor and clinic.

Just an overall good doctor
Dr. Uppala is a very caring, thorough doctor. If Dr. Uppala tells you you're ok you can bank on it, she is very smart and I am very grateful to be her patient.

My appointment was scheduled for 10am but was not seen until 11:35am . A patient that came in after me was seen before me. The exam rooms could use a good wipe down and dusting. Overall the wait is too long to see this doctor and she was disappointing. I was a new patient and automatically the doctor recommended WLS without even listening to reasons for my visit. Such a sad case. Would not recommend! Save your copay.
