I have met this doctor a few times but I think he is very reassuring and clear with his instruction.

Dealt with professionally but with care and compassion. Very knowledgeable and able to communicate information in a way that I understood fully. Took into account previous injuries and CRPS and my wish to return to active sport. Would definitely recommend Mr Vemulapalli.

Mr. V became my daughters consultant when she was only 2 days old and it was noticed she possibly had hip dysplasia. Mr. V made time to squeeze us into his already busy schedule so a harness could be fitted the very next day and has taken great care of us since. He was very careful to explain the prognosis in detail and made sure we understood what was wrong and how he thought it best treated. He listened to all our concerns at every appointment and reassured us along the way. Once the harness was removed and our daughter only needed yearly appointments he made sure that although we were seeing one of his registrars he knew exactly what was happening and when one of the registrars nearly discharged us too early he stepped in and made sure we received a follow up appointment and that we were seen yearly. This last appointment was thankfully our very last and we have been discharged but we are so grateful to Mr. V for his intervention at such an early stage when our daughters condition could so easily have been missed and for his ongoing support and treatment of our daughter.

My son was born with a right Club foot. When he was born his foot looked very bad.On the second day i was visited in Queens hospital by Mr Vemulapalli nurses who reassured me that all would be fine and that they deal with this every day at this point all i could think was how my son foot would look normal again.
In a week my Son had an appointment and was seen by Mr V, he was very kind and understanding and answered all my questions and more and he was very reassuring. At 8 weeks old my son a minor operation,Mr V was brilliant he made sure that every one in the room was ok before he began and talked us through it all.
My Son is now 9 weeks old, he is learning to crawling learning to walk everything he should be dong for his age and his foot is great. We still have a long way to go but with the great support that we continue to have from Mr V and his team i now see a light at the end of the tunnel Thank you very much Mr V and team.
The only thing that i would suggest is that parents that find out about this condition at a routine scan are able to visit the team before the birth it would set there mind at ease and also to meet other parents at the clinic i say this from experience.
Thank you Mr V

Mr Vemulapalli is an excellent doctor. Very down to earth and easy to talk to. The treatment I received went well and recovery time was limited. I would definitely recommend him.
