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.

Dr. Velagapalli is the best physician I've ever had. She would always treat me not only with professionalism but also with passion taking all the time necessary without rushing to listen to my questions and concerns always making me feel that she cares about my good health and that's exactly why she'll always be my family's physician.

Dr. Spoorthi is great. I've been visiting her for over 3 years now. She does not only help in diagnosis of problem but also recommends several preventative measures and lifestyle changes including diet and exercise. I feel so much better overall than I used to before I started seeing her. I would highly recommend her as primary physician.

She is very empathetic and a good listener; she does not rush through the appointment and makes sure that you are informed before she leaves the room.

I highly recommend Dr. Velagapalli. Her attention to me, as a patient, was wonderful. Not only did she take her time with me to be sure all of my questions were answered, she made sure all follow up work was completed so I had results and answers as soon as possible after a visit. She was respectful to me. She shared her medical knowledge with me in a way that I was able to understand and apply the information. I would recommend her to any family member.

She is a doctor who wants to spend time with the patient, listed to the the problem from the patient rather than from the nurse, is very honest and just so comfortable to talk to. I really like her as my general physician, and would suggest her to be one for anyone.

Dr. Velagapalli was a great. When her and I met she was able to help me find ways to get better, but also tried to find a cure to my symptoms vs. my old Dr. who kept telling me to take ibuprofen for two years until Dr.Velagapalli gave me ways to better my health without having to take ibuprofen. She's a great doctor, but also so personable and nice! She will be surely missed!
