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.

Absolutely love Dr. Vuppali and her staff! She took great care of my Husband and im forever grateful!

A Disappointing Display of Care
From my personal experience, either Dr. Vuppali herself is somewhat dismissive, or her team does a poor job following up on calls and instructions she's provided. After being diagnosed with kidney stones, I reached out to Dr. Vuppali seeking advice on how to reduce the size of the stones, as well as preventative measures I could undertake while awaiting my next appointment. When I did finally receive a response, it came from her nursing assistant, Veronica, who relayed Dr. Vuppali's message. The message that "there is nothing she can do in the meantime, and I will speak with her at her next appointment" felt dismissive and rather curt. It was a frustratingly non-committal response, devoid of empathy or patient-centric care. I am sharing my experience in the hope that this feedback might bring about some change in how Dr. Vuppali and her team handle patient care and communication. But for anyone in need of a kidney specialist, I would sadly advise looking elsewhere.

I feel very blessed that I found Dr Vuppali. She cares very much about her patients. She explained everything about my illness, so I could understand exactly what I needed to do to take care of myself. I have made some diet changes per her recommendation and now I'm doing much better.

During my visits, everything goes smoothly and on time with Dr. Vuppali. The visits usually involve a lot of attention in regards to my health. Dr. Vuppali goes into depth, and spends the appropriate amount of time explaining and answering vital questions. Not only does she take the time to review my care plan, she has also seen me in the hospital twice when I was admitted for kidney stones.
