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 Dandolu is caring and compassionate. Wonderful doctor!

Wonderful doctor! I was referred to her by my nurse practitioner that i saw for many years.I was nervous to meet a new doctor and discuss surgery. Dr Dandolu made me very comfortable. She has a soothing voice and explains things well. I had no pain after my sling and recovered fast. She has a healing touch!

Dr. Dandolu listened first. Then she asks questions. After that, she did an exam. She then explained her findings and told me our next steps. What made this a wonderful experience was it felt like a conversation and I could ask questions. I will b having surgery and I feel Dr. Dandolu is the right surgeon for me.

I had a partial hysterectomy done back in december, i was very nervous, anxious, just scared out of my mind, especially reading the mixed reviews, this dr was absolutely awesome, I am very pleased and will recommend her to my friends and family, reviews are helpful, but her reviews should be top notch 5 stars across the board, even the nurses were extra caring and helpful.

Dr. Dandolu is a wonderful doctor. She did my Bladder sling surgery and it was the best thing I ever did. I can't believe I waited 10 years and lived with incontinence all that time. I have no limits now and I am loving life again. Thank you for everything!!!

I am surprised to read negative reviews on this doctor. I have been seeing Dr Dandolu for over five years now. I had nothing but the best experience with her. She is a very good surgeon. I saw her in her elements at the surgery center. Staff there are amazing also.

I've been nearly thrown in surgery without ANY imaging done, and then when I asked why she didn't take any imaging or why she was so quick in the first place, she freaked out and said she didn't feel comfortable opporating. I HAD TO REQUEST AN MRI before surgery. Terrible doctor! She doesn't want to do her job thoroughly. She cares about getting paid and hacking people up. She hung up on me and is trying to send me to another Dr with TERRIBLE reviews. I BEG THAT THIS DOCTOR BE PUT UNDER REVIEW!!

Had prolapsed bladder surgery in June 2018. Poor followup care, I had to call and ask for it. Lots of problems after the surgery and now living a life filled with horrific pain and she refuses to see me. Her words "Oh well."

I was so surprised to find the very negative results given for Dr. Dandalu! I've gone to her for over two years for uro-gynecologic problems. During that time she has been nothing but kind and concerned through a number of procedures and treatments. The only real problem I had was with the Charleston office 'loosing' messages and taking forever to get back to me. Too busy like everyone in Vegas! I found out she has moved to another practice and am not surprised. The university overloads docs!

My young daughter had to fly across the country to get treatment after being treated disrespectfully. They did not go over risks of urodynamic exam, and ignored her complaints of severe pain during the procedure. She suffered months while they "waited to schedule"the procedure, then longer "for insurance approval." She just had the same test, much less painful, kind staff, real informed consent given, and all schedules and done within 5 days! Please stay as far away from here as possible!

The worst experience I ever had. Did a surgery and she and her incompetent residents caused severe complications. Would not and could not recommend. Go somewhere else.

I want to preface this by saying I came to this doctor desperate and in obvious debilitating pain.. I was completely dismissed and got no answers here. Some tests were ordered, and when I called the week of to ask a question, the order was never put in! So I had to wait two more weeks to have this done, only to get an infection from the invasive tests that were done.. doc is also not knowledgeable and has terrible bedside manner! Would not recommend. ??
