This Consultant has already operated on my left foot, & come up with treatment options but now I need another bigger operation on my left foot - messed up by Covid I have been sent to Stanmore Hospital by Mr Vemulapalli for a second opinion - various options given. Although post-Covid lots of delays with Stanmore Hospital, took nearly a year to see person there. This doctor is plain speaking, which I like. Without.a rubbish GP at the time & Covid things would have been better. Mr Vemulapalli spotted originally, when other doctors didn’t, that I had a dislocation in my left foot & needed surgery.

Mr Vemulapalli is an excellent doctor. He is friendly, approachable and listens to you. He has managed my care perfectly, I am fully recovered and it’s only 3 months since my fracture. I would recommend him 100%, and would have no other surgeon take care of a foot injury. Thank you very much indeed, I’m so pleased.

I had an ongoing foot problem for a long time and had been given many different diagnoses. I came to this doctor, and he almost immediately told me that the other diagnoses didn't make sense for my particular problem. This doctor was able to tell me what was wrong, and how it can be improved by avoiding surgery. He made me comfortable and geniuenly listen our concerns.
