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.

Mr V operated on my foot, and as with another operation he did, is a total success. He and his team are very caring people, and I would tell anyone that they will do a very good job.

After being misdiagnosed by a doctor abroad, Mr V, showed and explained what could have happened, I was then sent for an MRI, which showed a total rupture of the Achilles.
Within 8 days, I was taken in and operated on, which turned out to be, the worse case scenario, with his expertise and all the staff at the Spire, I am on the mend, it has been 3 months and now it is up to me to get the ankle strong again.
Krishna, is a very understanding consultant, who put me in a relaxed state of mind, as I was very worried, a really lovely man, and all the ladies I have had the pleasure of meeting, nurses, reception, physiology and the operating staff have been superb.
Thank you for helping me to start getting back to a normal life.

I had foot surgery at the Spires Roding Hospital, under NHS treatment and cannot praise the staff and treatment I received enough. From the reception staff, who were very welcoming to Mr Vemulapalli the surgeon who operated on me and all the staff in between, everybody treated me with great care and gave me confidence with the treatment I was receiving.
Mr Vemulapalli was very thorough with the questions he asked and explained everything to me from the surgery to the after care which gave me every reassurance that I was in safe hands.
I would recommend this hospital for its treatment, facilities and staff.
