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.

So happy with Dr. Apuri’s care….

Dr. Apuri & her staff make you feel cared for.
I have been taking chemo for months & everyone does their very best to make your visit pleasant. The nurses are always very personable and help with any questions you have, or if you are having a bad day they are there for you. I feel like they are part of my family and always cheering me on. Dr. Apuri always is up to date and is willing to answer any questions.

Expert Health Care Oncologist
I am a transfer patient to the Lecanto office because the Crystal River office was closed. I was concerned because I was seeing a new doctor. Dr. Susmitha Apuri allayed my concerns right away because she took her time to go over my prior treatments. I liked the way she listened to me and spent extra time to understand my health concerns.She is very knowledgeable and quietly confident which reassured my decision to transfer from the closed Crystal River office. The bottom line is that I feel that I am under the care of an expert oncologist.

THANKFUL FOR THIS PRACTICE
In an office where there are levels of care for general and serious health problems, the office staff is very kind, considerate, professional and pleasant. My first visit with Dr Apuri was more than I expected. Very thorough with exam, reviewed my history, asked questions and noticed a change in my scan which may require a change in treatment. Appreciated her suggestions. I feel fortunate to find someone who listens to my concerns.
