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.

Thorough
Dr. Paladuga asks questions, listens, then asks follow-up questions to get to a diagnosis. She’s not one to whip out the prescription pad and send you on your way. She takes time to explain and talk about alternatives to a pill, which I greatly appreciate.

We have seen Dr Pal for the last 7 yrs. she has always been good for addressing our problems. She watched my husband walk & told him he had a problem in his neck or brain.Sent him for test & they found brain cancer. She’s always willing to listen & help. Wouldn’t want any other Dr.

I have been seeing Dr. Paladugu for almost fourteen years now. I have never had a problem getting an appointment with her. She is always willing to sit and talk with me about any health concerns I may have at the time. I have never felt rushed during any of our visits. She genuinely cares about her patients and always puts your well being first. I couldn't imagine seeing anyone else.

She doesn't have a problem spending as much time as needed to answer questions, get to know her patients and their problems, and do a detailed questionnaire about your health.

Seems to be in a hurry to get somewhere. Scans notes and determines diagnosis and treatment before seeing patient.

Went for a blood test in December 2018. Altho I called twice and left messages I never received a call back. Rec'd a notice in the mail 1/11 that she had scheduled me for an apt with an oncologist! Saw her 1/14. said she tried to call my cell, no record on my phone. Said she sent a letter, not rec'd. Said she never called a second time because she WENT ON VACATION. Unprofessional and cruel! I lived for a weekend with a cancer diagnosis. She said she never said I had cancer. horrible experienc

I wanted to find the source of my pain but she wouldn't help me. I had to go to the University of Arkansas where i was recommended for a tandum stem cell transplant. I am so grateful i had the resources to find the problem of my health issues. Dr Paladuga insulted me by telling me that i was just wanting pain meds. Even though i explained to her that i wanted to find the source of my health issues. Be careful how you answer her questions. I could have died from my cancer with her.
