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. K. is the man. He has taken excellent care of me for the last 4 years. When I was diagnosed with an Infectious disease. I thought my life was basically over. However, Dr. K. has pulled me from being very, very ill to a great productive life. I love Dr. k. and would not hesitate to refer him and or suggest him.
My sister is a registered nurse and she does not give a lot of compliments or suggest a lot of doctors to people, but she always brag and tell our family and friends about Dr. K.

Dr. Kottapalli's office treated my wife, Geraldine Gilbert, while in Methodist Charlton from 8/14/15 to 9/3/15. His charges totaled $830. After the insurance paid his office billed me $75.63 which I paid on 12/29/15. I then received a bill dated 12/31/15 for $55.78 which means they received a subsequent insurance payment. As a result, he owes me $19.85. I have called his billing office 3 times and went by his office 1 time. As of 3/12/16 he has not reimbursed me. Bill Gilbert
