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.

Wonderful office
The appointments have always been punctual, staff is very nice and doctor is wonderful!

I was very disappointed that she didn’t see me, and she sent her assistant to see me, and then I found out that at my last visit with her, which was only my first she told me something to my face, but wrote something different down in the chart

Great Doc .... Terrible system
Dr. Vattigunta is wonderful. The problem I've experienced is the waiting time is way too long. I feel the Center could streamline patients better. Average wait time for blood work, doc visit, back to waiting room for another waiting time (20 mins) to be called back to 'chemotherapy treatment' center for a B12 shot...... 2 - 2 1/2 hr wait in total ... Why can't a B12 shot be given in the same office setting space where we visit with the doc?? Also, the check in process and check out process should be easier!! Streamline better with more help!!!

I feel like I’m not being heard. I’ve been seeing Dr Vattigunta’s assistant & I’ve been suffering with chronic sinusitis for years. Had multiple sinus surgeries from my ENT but wonder if my MGUS blood work could give me an idea of what I’m lacking. I asked to see the Dr on my last visit. She popped her head and heard of multiple infections but no advice & I left discouraged. I asked to see Dr before lab work so we could address deficiencies but that did not happen also. I feel I need to look for another Dr who listens to my concerns since I have had the worse 4 months of constant infections, aches & pain.It’s affecting my whole body & life. I wanted Dr to work along with my ENT, allergist & now an infectious disease dr to find out how to boost my immune system but as I said before, I’m not being heard Dr Vattigunta & assistant.

Dr. Vattigunta is an outstanding professional.
I remember the day when one size fits all (for the most part). My family doctor had most of the answers. Today's medical issues are highly specialized and while Dr. Vattigunta is an outstanding oncologist specialist I would trust her advice with a totally unrelated health issue. She doesn't placate or 'smooth over' the patient's concerns but speaks directly to her extensive professional background. I appreciate that more now than ever before and there inlies HOPE, wherein she and my referring doctor are driven.

Surprised
I was surprised with the lack answers and empathy from the doctor. It was my initial visit and she asked me, why are you here? Obviously I was referred to rule out cancer. I asked her a couple of questions and she just told me to ask my other doctor. So my initial appointment was like an urgent care visit. She ordered tests. However, she won’t be able to read them for an additional week because she’s out of the office. - pls do not flag my comment - my appointment was on 1/12

Quality office and medical procedures. The major issue is the booking and the wait times. They are somewhat extraordinarily long at times and that kind of puts a damper on the fact that you`re looking forward to the quality service after waiting an hour sometimes to an hour and a half.

Dr. Vattigunta’s treatment plans and recommendations lead to my recovery. ARN-Karen’s knowledge and patience in answering my questions and concerns played a big part in my recovery. Everyone beginning with front desk receptionist to check-out receptionist were friendly and welcoming. Nurses in lab treatment area very calming, friendly and extremely patient. Thank you Dr. Vattigunta and her team.

I am so glad I switched doctors. Dr Vattigunta is a God send, she generally cares about her patients and has your best interest at heart. The minute I walked into her office she had blood drawn to check for tumor markings, took time out to review my medical records with me, asked the right questions to sort of get to know me as a person and not just a patient. Had me changed into a gown to “examine” me and even convinced me to have the genetic testing done due to family history of cancer. I’m so glad I listened to her and did the testing, I feel so relieved now as the results were in my favor. Last but not least, I don’t have to chase her to send Rx refills to my pharmacy. I am truly blessed to have found Dr Vattigunta.
