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.

She is very nice and takes time to talk to you and check what is wrong with you but the staff is not that friendly very rude talking on the phone it looks they do not want to be bother

Went to see Dr. Purnima Vallabhaneni for the first time and she was not the most welcoming. She seemed very rushed and was trying to end the appointment before I even got my questions out. I asked her about a doctor’s note for work and she told me I can get one from reception. I go to the receptionist and she tells me I have to wait for the doctor to finish with her new patient because she did not sign the doctor’s note. I waited for 10 more minutes even though I kept telling them that I was already late for work due to the fact that they let me in over half an hour late. To top it all off, the doctor ended up sending a prescription that was NOT covered by my insurance to my pharmacy, with no response to the pharmacies request for a different medication. When I finally got a hold of the office, I was told to get over the counter cream as my insurance has no such medications covered. Don’t know why this was not made clear to me from the very beginning.

Dr. Purnima Vallabhaneni is knowledgeable, kind, and considerate. She ensures all issues are addressed and provides solutions to every problem. The assistant helping her is thorough and thoughtful, and the receptionist managing the front desk is equally informative, courteous, and helpful. I have been going to Dr. Vallabhaneni for years; she always provides a first-class healthcare experience. Choose this clinic for all of your physician needs.

I have been seeing Dr "Valla" for over 10 years. She is a knowledgable, thorough, and caring doctor. She remembers my medical history, which is quite complicated. She ensures that I receive all appropriate preventive care and refers me to specialists as needed. She is a great listener and takes time to make sure all my questions are thoroughly answered. She worked diligently with me to support my long term disability claim.

I had poor insurance so I had to use this doctor for some time. She was not a good doctor. I have multiple issues she couldn't figure out. I had GI issues and requested some allergy testing and she said get psychiatric help instead. She would perform one test if the result was normal but the problem still exists apparently i am the problem. Perhaps the right testing wasn't done. Oddly enough once I had a good MD. Problems found and solved case closed.

I’ve been going to this office since I was 16(I’m now 26). Dr. Vallabhaneni consistently misdiagnosed my problems; I was misdiagnosed with Lyme disease and was told my “blood work wasn’t normal” by her. It wasn’t only when I got a second opinion that I found out I never had Lyme and I had Hashimotos for over a year!!! The waits are over an hour and receptionists are rude. Would never ever recommend. Literally ruined a whole year-2 years of my life.
