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 staff!!

The doctor and med assistant were excellent. However the receptionist left me standing at the check- in window for at least 10 minutes while she was doing something on the computer before she would even answer my question as to if it was the correct office for my doctor. (The doctor's name was not on the door.)

I arrived early to get my blood drawn before the appointment. The receptionist said the doctor failed to order the bloodwork. When I saw the doctor, he said the bloodwork had been ordered when he last saw me and scheduled the next visit. Whatever happened, I had to stay after my appointment to get my blood drawn and go over the results with my doctor. I was in the office 30-45 minutes longer than necessary.

Not so funny comedy of errors
I came to see Dr kathula as a second opinion. I liked him and felt a fair amount of trust in the first visit. He wanted to schedule me for a liver scan at mvh however I I live an hour the hospital and I would have had to make two trips so I asked if I could combine the trips or even better have the liver scan done at my local hospital. I guess that was just too far above their pay grade because that was last July and it here it is January and I'm still trying to get this test schedule

Dr. Kathula helped ease my fears upon my diagnosis of lymphoma. He was patient and explained expectations and treatment options. I've been his patient for 3 years now, and I feel comfortable talking with him. He has personally called me when I needed guidance with health issues. I feel fortunate that he is in our community.

Excellent Doctor. I would definitely recommend him. He has been treating my husband for cancer, and myself for iron deficiency anemia. I chose him to treat my anemia because of the special care he showed my husband during his cancer treatment.
