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.

Visit was canceled as I made the appointment! She said there was nothing until May of 21!!

Dr. Velakaturi is thorough, attentive with a great personality. He always takes the time to make sure everything is covered from my history, current and future needs and always takes the time necessary to ask the right questions and thoroughly explain the result he sees as well as gives me the time to express any concerns and ask all of my questions. He is in my opinion an exceptional doctor (one of the best I have seen in my 65 years)whom I highly trust and recommend to anyone.

I don't think I have had this comprehensive and thorough of an annual wellness visit. This was my first time with Dr. V and was very pleased. I knew he was well rated and trust me, they were correct. This is what all Doctor's appointments SHOULD be. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It's always enjoyable to go over my health issues with Dr. Velakaturi. I've had serious issues over the years. He patiently goes over all issues as we discuss at length. I consider him as much a friend as I do a health care provider.

Dr.V is the best! I still remember my 1st appointment with him, he came in introduced himself and lowered the seat to be eye level with me after that I was hooked. Dr.V is not only a good Dr. but a good person as well, he cared deeply about his patients well being.

Still impressed and satisfied. Has been the only Dr that I've seen or heard of that reviews all of my history and med list every time I go in. Also takes time to explain things in detail. Office staff is also great.

I've been seeing Dr. Velakaturi for several years and am satisfied with his service! My appointments are quick and there is time to discuss my problem. He is good at explaining what it is and what needs to be done in a way I can understand. I believe he knows his medical job well and listens to patients carefully. Well done, Dr. Velakaturi!

Dr Velakaturi is kind, knowledgable, and thorough. His manner is always quiet, calm and professional. He pays close attention, doesn’t interrupt, and is never condescending or judgmental. His nurse is also very affable, and front staff kind and capable. Kind of hope I die before he retires, because I don’t know if they make any more like him. ??

I saw Dr. Velakaturi on March of 2020 as a new patient. I was impressed by his thoroughness in the intake process as he reviewed my current medical history but he probed further to look at my families medical history which was important as I have lost two of my siblings to cancer. He was very professional and took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. He also brought me up to date on my immunizations that I had let lapse and some that I completely forgot about plus new immunizations that could be beneficial to me. After his examination he sat me down and gave me his recommendations and what he would like for me to do regarding my health. My initial impressions of Dr. V was that he was professional, honest, and frank about my medical situation. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr. V to anyone who wants a thorough and patient friendly doctor.
