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.

Excellent Doctor
Dr Kovvali is very kind and caring! He is also very good at explaining everything you need to know about your situation with your health and what he plans to do to help you manage any issues.

Excellent Cardiologist. Kind, Caring, Attentive
Dr. Kovvali has saved my husband's life three times. He provides excellent care, makes your choices clear about treatment options, goes out of his way to be kind and caring. When we have called with questions or refills on prescriptions, they are good about getting back to you the same day. He and his nurse Ashley are the best. The wait is never long at the main office in Lufkin. Highly recommend.
