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.

Amazing, Patient, Knowledgeable
Dr. Ellipeddi is an amazing doctor who took the time to explain everything that was going on with my breast cancer diagnosis. She never made me feel rushed and treated me and my husband with compassion and respect. I would highly recommend her and the entire team in Alexandria if, God forbid, you are ever in need of a medical oncologist. From the first visit to the end-of-chemo visit, she remains one of my favorite doctors.

Dr. Ellipeddi has an excellent bedside manner
On my first visit, she was informative of next steps in the process. She was calming and reassuring about treatment modalities and possible challenges. She patiently answered questions from my spouse and me. Overall, we feel blessed to have such a caring and knowledgeable physician helping us on this journey.

I’m extremely pleased with the care and treatment I’ve been receiving from Dr. Ellipeddi and the support staff at the Hematology/Oncology Clinic at BRG Hospital-Blubonnet. Dr. Ellipeddi is very knowledgeable and compassionate, and takes the time to address whatever concerns and questions I have regarding my health and treatment.

Best MD I have been to in 72 years. She is very proactive. She has solved medical problems that other specialists missed. Cannot say enough good things about her. She actually cares about any and all medical problems that you may have. In fact had I met her sooner their are some medical issues that I may not have had. She is a one on one specialist.

I’m very pleased with Dr. Ellipeddi! – Sep 12, 2020
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ellipeddi?
Dr Ellipeddi has been my Dr. since June 2019. I can't say enough good words about her. From making sure I had the right diagnosis (CML) and the right treatment to making sure I'm cared for as a whole. When I see her no matter if it's a regular appointment or a specialized test I feel like her only patient that day. She started treating me and in 10 months my blood is cancer free. She has answered with care and patients every single question and wanted to know everything and have asked some crazy questions. When you get told you have a blood disease you want a doctor who is in you corner and to help you have your best life and I would recommend Dr. Ellipeddi every single time.

I think Dr. Ellipeddi is both highly intelligent and extremely caring. She takes time with her patients and family to thoroughly explain the type of cancer, the treatment plan, and what she expects will happen .... in our case, the prognosis is very poor, but she kept trying to utilize the best pharmaceutical products available both for pain control and treatment.... I highly recommend Dr. Ellipedi for the best care possible for the treatment of oncology either with palliative care or curative possibilities. She does not give up!!

I have been a patient of Dr Ellipeddi's since July of 2017. There aren't enough words to describe her. She is very thorough,takes time to explain everything to you, gives you options available for treatment, is caring, kind,and very knowledgeable. I have one chronic cancer and was recently diagnosed with stage 4 Lymphoma I have just completed chemo and intervention methetrexate. Both treatments were rough,but she was there every step of the way to me and my family. I highly recommend her.
