Mr V is probably the most helpful Dr in Queens hospital. He first helped me year ago when I couldn't find where my mum was in the hospital. He kindly contacted the operating theatre and tracked down my mum and explained to me what was happening and arranged for me to visit her once she was on a ward. He could see i was upset and took the time and trouble to help. Once again our paths crossed this year after my mum had broken the other foot. It was time for mums plaster to be removed he kindly said don't come all the way back to my room I will come to you in the plaster room. He checked on mum to see if she was ok and put her at ease. Explained that he would see her in 4 weeks. My mum is 90 he was very patient with her which intern made mum happy. Thank you Mr V for being so kind.

This doctor was amazing, thorough and knowledgeable explaining everything to myself and my daughter, making her feel completely at ease throughout the appointment. Excellent manner and compassion when dealing with a nervous child. Made jokes and made us feel that we were completely safe in his presence and decisions that were needed to be made were fully explained and all options given. Really can not thank him enough for the pure kindness and level of care he gave my daughter Meadow. Thank you

Mr Vemulapalli, went out of his way to help me after my accident. He gave me as much time as I needed to ask questions and put me at my ease. Mr V is always very approachable and his bedside/clinic manner is always so welcoming and friendly. His knowledge and advice as I improved was invaluable and I would totally recommend him as a clinician to anyone who suffered a trauma or required elective Orthopedic surgery. Top marks Mr Vemulapalli!

Huge thank you to this surgical consultant, for getting me back on my feet and back to full time work and enjoying life again without worrying about my ankle pain. He throughly explains the process and his methods to make sure you understand why things are being done in a certain manner and to be sure you are happy with the decision being made. He talks you to in a polite and professional manner, while also cracking a joke or two to keep things moving. Overall one word to describe this consultant: Magician!
