Reviews
I had an ongoing foot problem for a long time and had been given many different diagnoses. I came to this doctor, and he almost immediately told me that the other diagnoses didn't make sense for my particular problem. This doctor was able to tell me what was wrong, and how it can be improved by avoiding surgery. He made me comfortable and geniuenly listen our concerns.
I had an ongoing foot problem for a long time and had been given many different diagnoses. I came to this doctor, and he almost immediately told me that the other diagnoses didn't make sense for my particular problem. After more than 2 months of repeatedly going to different people, this doctor was able to tell me what was wrong, and did it all in a way that was quite easy for me to understand and was very patient and understanding. He made me feel very at ease.
We highly recommend Mr Krishna Vemulapalli from the moment our 12yrs old son meet him he felt comfortable and trusted him to operate on both his feet. He answered all questions and us all feel at ease.
He friendly, welcoming and very understanding and caring.
The healing process was 6weeks and the scaring is so clean and hardly noticeable.
He has given our Son pain free feet again.
Keep up the amazing work and Thank you so much.
I recently consulted with Mr Vemupapalli to investigate issues with my ankle that I have had for a number of years following complicated road traffic accident trauma surgery. He listened to my whole history intently and without interruption so that could build a whole picture of my injuries and procedures to date and from that he was able to explain to me where the issue might be and develop potentially a 3 pronged approach. Through his method and thinking he identified where the issue actually is very quickly and we have been able to develop an ongoing care plan.
A very thorough, knowledgeable and personable consultant who I cannot recommend highly enough.
A sympathetic and empathetic doctor. Listened to both patient and parent concerns and addressed them thoughtfully. Very compassionate and kind.
No concerns. Please stay as you are.
