I saw this Doctor at an NHS Fracture Clinic. I had been given a cast on my leg the week before which I felt was uncomfortable, probably broken and just aggravating me. The doctor immediately put me at ease by saying “don’t worry, I treat patients not X-rays, so let’s have a look at you and I’ll tell you what I think”. He asked me a number of questions which made me feel that he took the time to understand my life, what I do of a daily basis and how his treatment plan would affect me. He conducted a very gentle physical exam of my ankles and asked me to complete a number of exercises. I had an expectation of what my ideal outcome of the appointment would be, and thankfully, the doctor gave me the news I wanted. “you have healed remarkably well and I will sign you off without a cast”. I expect he knew that’s what I wanted to hear. He gave me advice on how to help the healing process and referred me to Physiotherapy. He finished the appointment by showing me my x-ray, pointing out where the fracture is and telling me a little about how the fracture happened, and why he has come to the decision he has.
The Doctor worked quickly, but gave me the impression throughout the appointment that he was completely in control and knew what he was looking for. He was very friendly and engaged with both me and my partner, who was in the room.
It’s a pleasure to have the opportunity to provide feedback for this doctor, and I am happy to tell his future patients that I think you’re in safe hands.

I saw Mr Vemulapalli in the fracture clinic after initial treatment at another hospital. He started right from the beginning, wanting to know about the injury and how it was sustained before examining me and making his own judgement on the injury instead of relying on the previous notes. He was very thorough in his investigation and very helpful and clear in outlining treatment options. He inspired every confidence.

Dr Vemulapalli was extremely efficient with swift organistation of X-rays and MRI procedures. He listened and understood my ailments and concerns and following results from scans clearly explained his diagnosis and his suggested 'plan of action'.

I had a recent appointment with Mr Vernulapalli at Spire Hospital. The time and care he took to discuss my problem was excellent. Nothing was too much bother and he explained things very clearly. He suggested treatments that sympathetic to my needs and I will now follow up these suggestions.
