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. 'Palli' is always attentive and engaged
I've been a patient for eight years and have never been disappointed with the quality of care provided by Dr. Vemulapalli or her staff. She is always willing to entertain questions and responds to them in a respectful manner. I've never felt rushed to get in and out as fast as possible like I do with many physicians.
