I was treated with respect and dignity. He is very friendly and reassuring. Listened to my concerns especially as I am a nurse and work at Queens. Received my orthotic boot immediately and will commenced physiotherapy next week. I would thoroughly recommend Mr Vemulapalli. Thank you Glenda

Mr Vemulapalli has been monitoring my daughter's hip condition since she was 6 weeks old. When at first, my husband and I were naturally anxious about her condition he was incredibally supportive and reassuring. Initially we were seen as a private patient but later moved to Mr Vemulapalli's NHS clinic, and at all times the care we have received has been excellent. He has an excellent mannor when dealing with children and has made the whole process so much easier than it could have been! We are very grateful for the care we have received over the past 3.5 years.

Mr vemulapalli is a fantastic surgeon. He is extremely knowledgeable and always answers questions in an easy to understand way, explaining everything as he goes along. I have been attending his clinic for about five years now, at queens in Romford, and although the waiting time is really long it is worth the wait to get such excellent treatment. He and all his team are great, many thanks to him for operating on my foot fusion.

I received the best care ever from the surgeon Mr Vemulapali and the rest of his team. Mr Vemulapali cares so much for his patient and patient's family. He gives the best advices where necessary and always reassures his patient. Mr Vemulapali asually treats his patients the same he would like to be treated. I will recommend Mr Vemulapali to friends and family as the best surgeon ever. He did a great job on me. My family and I says a very BIG THANK YOU to Mr Vemulapali and his team for the great care.

What a wonderful Dr. Dr Vemulapalli is. He was very attention. He also took the time to explain the procedure and what the photographs from my keyhole surgery interpreted. He was also very approachable. I Would go back to him again and also recommend him to others. Thank you.
