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.

Worst ever doctor visited
Worst ever doctor visited in USA, the doctor doesn't even have the curtesy to call back and inform about the issue that i visited for.She charges an hefty amount for the sloppy job she does.Never visit this doctor!

Worst doctor ever!
She doesn’t listen to you and doesn’t treat you! She lives to give out referrals though! I needed a prescription for my inhaler that I have to use everyday or I have trouble breathing and I called her office many times and got no response from her yet they kept telling me that they sent my messeges top priority . I have since changed my primary doctor. She should not practice medicine and put patient lives at risk. Even her own nurses complain about her!!

She should quit and hopefully she can save lives. It was my very 1st visit and new to the office and staff. During my Check-up a small blip came up in my EKG. The Dr. Put me into a panic and suggested I get rushed to the hospital as if I am may be having a medical emergency. It turned out to be it’s my normal heart rate and all the signs are related to my healthy activities. I later learned other patients had stories about the Doctor's knowledge.

Not a friendly doctor, no social skills
Doctor does not let his patients talk to her freely , has no social skills, not a nice person... Needs to work her social skills. She may be okay at what she does but her personality does not help. When looking for a general doctor you need someone that has a warm touch, not a doctor that does not even let you speak , very controlling. Will most likely use another doctor going forward.

She does not listen to what your concerns are she is too busy trying to push every type of test onto you instead of what you actually come in for. I don't think she even reads your chart before coming into the room. The front desk is very rude and act like they don't want to work. I stood there for almost 10 minutes after my visit with 4 receptionist sitting there playing on their phones and talking to one another. One of them even looked up at me and didn't say anything or try to help me, one told me that she couldn't take my referral paper because she doesn't do referrals for that specialty. I called to get my prescription changed right after I left the office because she prescribed a medication that doesn't work for me the call center left multiple messages for the doctor and receptionist to call me back and change the prescription and no one ever did. I went back in 2 weeks later and paid a copay just to tell the doctor the change my script. HORRIBLE OFFICE!!!

Dr. Uma Duvvuri is an excellent doctor. She is friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. She is thorough during her exam and takes the time to answer all my questions and address my concerns. She is timely in her referrals to other physicians, ordering tests/labs and following up with results. I would recommend her to my friends and family as she has had such a huge impact on my health.

Dr Duvvuri has been my primary care physician for many years. She is genuinely concerned with my health and well being. She always returns my calls, calls me when my medications have to be adjusted as I take blood thinners, and always makes sure that I am up to date with specific testing relating to my medical conditions. There are numerous primary care doctors closer to where I reside but I travel out of my way to keep Dr. Duvvuri as my primary care doctor as she is clearly the best you could ask for !!!

The office staff is always helpful and courteous. Fast appointments and walk-ins are accepted. There's also late hours available. Dr. Duvvuri is very friendly and always does her best to figure out what exactly the problem is. If unable to do so, she would refer you to someone who can. The only con I can say is, although it doesn't happen often, you are not seen at the given appointment time and may have to wait an extra 30-45 minutes to be seen. But like previously mentioned, it doesn't happen often. Overall, I would recommend this office.

As my new PCP for over 2 years, Dr. Duvvuri is very professional, pleasant, and easy to communicate any conditions that I may have. If there is a need for a specialist, she will assist with a referral. The staff is friendly and easy to schedule appointments.

First of all, Dr. Duvvuri's office staff are very courteous, professional and pleasant. I felt comfortable speaking with Dr. Duvvuri as she was patient, understanding and I did not feel rushed. She took time to listen to me and I felt appreciated. At that moment, I made a note to myself to have her as my PCP.

I started visiting Dr. Duvvuri MD two years ago and so far I have no complaints. She explains everything to you and tells you about what's going on. If you need to get any other medical procedures that can't be done at her facility she will give you a referral with no problems. I like her she is very friendly.

She is a great doctor, she actually listens to your issues and genuinely attempts to correctly diagnose the issues at hand. She doesn’t just run out of the room after her mind is made up, she talks to you about what’s going on. Unlike many of her colleagues at other offices, she is great.
