Mr Vemulapalli reconstructed two of my toes which were quite bent due to arthritis in one and a dislocation in the other. I found Mr Vemulapalli to be an excellent surgeon, very caring and very friendly and approachable in his manner.
He went the extra mile to do anything to help me in ways that no other Consultant would do. This was most appreciated. I had other conditions which effected me at the same time and he recommended other very good consultants at the hospital to help me in these areas.
In my particular experience, I feel that he is totally focused in finding the best solution for his patients. He is a wonderful surgeon and a most caring person.

I have suffered from pain in my feet everyday for years this was getting worse and after numerous trips to my GP I I was misdiagnosed and dismissed. So I seeked out private help and mr Vemulapalli diagnosed me with substantial arthritus in both big toe joints. A complaint which is unusual for someone of my age. After two successful operations I am now completely pain free. I am so grateful to mr Vemulapalli, in my opinion he is a top surgeon and his bedside manner is impeccable.

Just had surgery to remove a bunion and I found mr v to be very relaxed, calm and caring when consulting on my surgery. He makes you feel like he is listening and always has time for questions while not making you feel rushed.
Extremely friendly and puts you at ease at all times
Thank you very much mr v
