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.

Comfortable and informative
Happy I am very happy with the services I receive from Dr. Vellanki. He is informative and spends time with his patients explaining everything when it comes to the questions they ask.

Don’t Do It!
You’ll wait 1.5 hours for your appointment with little to no results. He didn’t read my chart, he kept saying I don’t know what’s wrong sometimes we never know. Although my labs showed “high” numbers he didn’t order any additional labs. Waste of my time!

I have been a patient of Dr. Vellanki for too many years and while he is friendly, he has always lacked focus and organization. Far too frequently, he will waste half of our office time together chattering away about anything other than my health and my reason for being in his office. Check ups have turned into little more than a few cursory health questions and even fewer actual checks of my vital signs. Since he joined the Padder Group, he seems distracted by his computer, family matters, and Padder policies and protocol with little attention given to caring for me as a patient. Twenty years ago, he was a caring (if not a bit quirky) physician. Today, I’m afraid he’s just going through the motions. He should do what’s best for his patients and himself and head off into a happy retirement where he can chit chat at no expense to someone in need of medical attention.
