Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been to Dr. Punukollu several times over the years and have never had a problem with him. He was always very professional and answered any questions and always explained the process and results. I would recommend him to anyone.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Punukollu?
The doctor has an extremely poor bedside manner, a condescending attitude, and he is unwilling to answer patient questions and concerns. Making assumptions about patients' daily lives before allowing them to answer questions is both callous and unnecessary. Physicians should be there to help patients and assuage their concerns; instead, Dr. Punukollu spoke down to my family and myself, not allowing us to get a word in edgewise. Instead of obtaining any clarity, I was left with increased anxiety and uncertainty for how to deal with my stomach pain. Would not recommend to him to anyone.
