I have the greatest confidence in Mr Vemulapalli, and have had previous surgery under his care. He is very experienced and professional, and fully explained all aspects of my care. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Mr Vemulapalli provided an open and responsive consultation. He explained the options available for my condition and supported my choice of treatment. I felt comfortable expressing an anxieties regarding my progress and he was always reassuring, no matter how trivial my questions. I would certainly have no hesitation in revisiting Mr Vemulapalli should the need arise.

Very personal and professional. Following a consultation and scan the diagnosis and advice was clear and concise. A charming man. A constructive suggestion is that at the very beginning of the consultation it would have been helpful for Mr Vemulapalli to briefly explain what the process would be rather than just start asking a number of questions. This would avoid any initial unease.
