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.

Excellent experience
My hernia was taken care of excellent fashion. He was professional and communicated well with my family after the surgery. Very happy with the outcome.

Improved my quality of life!
After several failed imaging tests, I got a HIDA scan and I was referred to Dr. A to see if my gallbladder needed to be removed. While in his office, he was very informative by explaining how the gallbladder functions and why it’s not necessary. He gave me the option to either keep trying other pain management tactics or removing it. Due to this going on for 2 years, I wanted it removed so he agreed. Dr. A removed my gallbladder and I had no complications. Only downside is he has all patients arrive to the surgical center at the same time which is very time consuming if you’re waiting in the waiting area for a couple hours. I cannot thank him enough for his amazing work. He’s made me feel more comfortable than any other provider I’ve ever had.

Simply the BEST!
Seven years ago I wrote a review on how Dr. Adusumilli saved my husband's life. At the time, little did I know that I would need his expertise after experiencing some rectal bleeding. After a thorough examination via colonoscopy, Dr. A. found that I had developed a stricture from previous surgical procedures that was impeding the flow of stool. In October I had a colectomy at Rex Hospital and was a patient for six days. During that time, I could NOT have asked for better care. Dr. A. to me is an angel who walks on earth. Those who have the luck of finding this dear, brilliant man will be blessed in whatever problem they encounter. He is hands-down the BEST colorectal surgeon in Raleigh.

Very rude and unprofessional office staff
Admin stuff is very unprofessional and rude! I have never had so much troubles just trying to communicate with an office. I’m trying to save them time for an upcoming appointment I have, because a previous office associate wasn’t able to answer my question.Office manager took over the call and was rude from the start. It doesn’t matter where the procedure is done to me, but I’ve been inquiring on whether you all do a certain procedure or not. The office manager said that you all don’t do it there, but you do it in a facility. Okay I asked well would I keep the appointment with you or do I make an appointment elsewhere to go to this facility. She said who said you need that procedure and I let her know I have results from a Surgeon I saw two months back and they and another doctor both suggested it. She said well we do many procedures. Okay, but do you do the specific one im asking for as it requires special expensive equipment to my understanding and not all colorectal surgeons have

Colostomy Surgery and follow-up Ostomy reversal.
I was admitted to Wake Med Cary for emergency surgery resulting from a perforated colon. I was lucky, Dr Adusumilli was the surgeon on call. At first, I just wanted to die because I did not want the colostomy. Dr Adusumilli, the kindest physician I have ever encountered, explained as they were taking me to the OR that he could reverse the colostomy in 3-6 months but first he needed to get me to the OR to save my life. Dr Adusumilli performed almost 8 hours of emergency surgery on me, indeed saving my life. True to his word, he reversed the colostomy 4.5 months later. I have now return to all my pre-surgical activities including swimming, biking, jogging and senior softball.

Dr. Adusumilli is an AWESOME Doctor. He performed surgery on my niece that had colon cancer about six years ago, she is doing great. She didn’t have to take chemo nor radiation. He is so understanding & caring, he doesn’t rush you when talking to him. Thanks again Dr. Adusumilli, you are the greatest!!!!

It is rare to walk into a hospital and have nurses rave about a doctor which was my exact experience with Dr. Adusumilli - when my mom was in my care suffering from advanced dementia and some very serious G.I. issues, the doctor, I’m confident, literally saved her life! Add to that an amazing bedside manner and a level of caring and compassion we so rarely see now with many medical professionals. I would highly recommend this doctor to anyone in need of these services

He performed surgery on me back in 2010 and again in 2011.. He has got to be the best surgeon around in his area. If I hadn’t had him things would be a lot different for me now. It’s been over 10 years and I thank God to this day for Dr. Adusumilli. I’m doing great and owe it all to him..highly recommend!!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Adusumilli! From the first few moments of speaking with him, I knew he was just what I had been searching for, and I did search for an experienced surgeon to take care of me. I know all reviews you read about him talk about his sincere caring disposition and this is so true. When you have someone who cares like he does and has the experience to perform the surgery and give follow up care as he does, what else can you ask for. Dr. Adusumilli is top notch in my book!

I am sadly disappointed in my surgery. I was not told the high level risk and I'm almost certain I asked. I am left to deal with gastroparesis, which I had to ask if I had this. No real instructions to deal with it and it is horendous to deal with. I was only offered meds and no real instructions instructions on how they interact with my current meds. Yes, I read reviews prior to seeking medical attention. But there was a lot lacking here. Dr adusumili said very little. I as a lay person had no knowledge of the madness associated with hernia repair. Shame, shame, shame.
