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.

I had Hernia surgery with Dr. Pendurthi . I woke up from the surgery and I was wide awake and had no pain of any kind. Dr. Pendurthi makes you feel very much at ease before and after surgery. I will never go to anyone else for surgery Dr. Pendurthi is the best.

I would highly recommend Dr. Pendurthi to any of my friends or family. He has the best bedside manor a patient and family could ask for. He went above and beyond what I see most Dr's go.. He took the time with me and my family explaining everything. When the surgery was running over the time he estimated it would be,,he had the O.R. call to my family to inform them. There are No words that could ever Thank Dr. Pendurthi for how much he had done for me and my family He truly saved my life..

Dr. Pendurthi is a kind and caring surgeon. Takes the time to explain what he is about to do. Treats you like a person and not just a number. Never felt any discomfort in any procedure he has done on me. His staff and nurses are excellent. Would highly recommend him.

Dr. Pendurthi was recommended to me by my oncologist. I read up a little bit on him and decided he would be the choice for my surgery. If you could say a surgical procedure was good that's what I would say. Dr. Pendurthi is very professional and has a great bedside manner. He and his staff make me feel almost like one of the family. Nursing staff and office staff are great! And most importantly my daughters are very impressed with the way they do things there. I highly recommend him!!

Dr. Pendurthi and his staff have been phenominal to work with. During a difficult time they have been supportive, provided clear communication and have been sensitive to our needs. He takes time with his patients. We felt like we were his only appointment because he took as much time as we needed to ask questions and understand the next steps.

Dr Pendurthi was recommended to me for a surgery that needed immediate attention. After his own very thorough investigative procedures he agreed that surgery was necessary. He operated on me within two weeks. Everything was thoroughly explained to me. I was never uncomfortable before, during, or afterwards. Highly recommend him.

Dr. Pendurthi has addressed my concerns on every one of my visits. He has performed 2 (yes two!) hemorrhoidectomy procedures on me. I just had my 2nd hemorrhoidectomy surgery on 2/4 (5 days now) I can honestly say I feel confident with my home instructions, I understand my healing phases, & I'm in very minimal pain. I trust Dr. Pendurthi 100% !!
