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.

If you are in the area and are having ANY vascular issues, he is the physician to see! The entire office is polite and professional. My procedures went smoothly and he loves what he does! I am thankful I found him.

I was referred to Dr. Challa after visiting the ER where they diagnosed me with an umbilical cord hernia. 5 days later I had surgery. I must say I was very fearful as I was home on vacation for the holidays and wasn't expecting to be operated on. Dr. Challa was very informative and explained everything that was happening, what would happen and also explained in detail how I can assist in preventing this issue to happen again. He was very kind and patient with all of the questions. I live in Little Rock AR and can tell you that I haven't had such a pleasant & informative experience with a surgeon ever. And the office staff were absolutely wonderful too.

Dr. Challa repaired a hernia for me in 2011. I recentedly saw him again as I had been experiencing pain in the same area for about five months after feeling a sharp pain and feeling of something popping in my pelvis. Dr. Challa sent me for a CT scan and advised he would have the results in a day or two and would contact me to discuss them. It has been over two weeks and three calls to his office and I still have not heard from him.

Failed Inguinal hernia surgery with mesh patch. Informed him in the weeks after the surgery that things really didn't feel ant different. He tried to convince me things were fine and thie pain I was experiencing was normal. Stated the next thing he would have to do is an Mri to figure out what was going on. I did not trust him to do that. Just dealt with periodic pain for a few years. Going to another dr for analysis.
