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.

smart and really cared
I would recommend Dr. Edara to my family and friends. He took a lot of time with me and explained a lot even though my diagnosis was very simple. He seemed to really care about making sure I understood the condition and didn’t have any questions or concerns before leaving. He processed a lot of information on my chart quickly but I feel like that was because he is smart, not because he is rushing.

I have seen this doctor a number of times over several years. He is not my regular doctor, because the first time I saw him he did not listen well, like even interrupting me, and was difficult to understand. This was confirmed when I read several important inaccuracies in his report of this visit. I have had to see him since a couple of times because of needing a more urgent appointment, and he has never been a good listener, talks over me, doesn’t answer my questions or concerns.

Concerned Patient in Kalamazoo, MI – Aug 04, 2018

The office staff was fantastic, but the doctor himself made the experience less pleasant. I had scheduled the appointment to be tested to confirm or rule out an allergy. At the time of the appointment, Dr. Edara would not test me in the office-I was sent home with clean patches and was told to do the test on my own as he does not believe that I could possibly have this allergy. He also refused to look at the pictures on my phone from when my reaction was worse because he didn't have time.
