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.

Vijaya Polavarum has been my GP for almost 25 years. She is thorough, compassionate, and has a comprehensive view of your health. I feel I'm healthier at 71 because of her care. Highly recommend.

During my appointment with Dr. V it is always a great experience. While I appreciate her polite bedside manner, more importantly it’s her knowledge and attention to my healthcare needs. Dr. V’s thoroughness and making sure I have the right tests across my age spectrum has allowed us to pursue preventive health regimen for me. A Satisfied Patient Nicole

Have been seeing Dr. Polavarum since 2001 and she is a very fine doctor. Has consistently listened, run appropriate tests and generally overseen my continued good health. I highly recommend her.

She told me that my IUD would make me infertile (although I am in perfect health), that I should just settle down and have kids, and then failed to do a throat swab for strep, even after I asked repeatedly. She tried to prescribe me antibiotics for my throat without seeing any signs of infection, and without running any diagnostic tests.

I would not recommend this doctor to my worse enemy. She & her staff are the absolute worse I've ever encountered. I visited her & requested a prescription I had used with a previous doctor. After 2 weeks of calling, speaking to her incompetent staff I finally had to change my doctor back to my previous doctor two hours away just to get what I needed. I suffer from severe back pain. Without my medication you would assume I had a stroke because I literally drag my left leg. RUN!
