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.

Worst Dr appointment I’ve ever had. Was referred by orthopedic surgeon to him for pain in neck. Within 5 minutes of exam he ask why I kept nodding my head when I talk. He said that’s why I have neck pain. He said the bone spurs, pinched nerves,, cysts & bulging discs would not cause pain. Was only confused with spinal cord compression. He said he couldn’t help me & to start at square 1 & see a chiropractor. I was wanting relief from pain I’ve had for almost a year.

I’ve had three injections by Dr. Narla over the years, and he has always been friendly and efficient. I would definitely recommend him for pain management.

After reading some previous ratings.... we were apprehensive. My husband had an appointment today, and some had commented Dr Narla was rude and not very nice. It couldn't have been further from the truth! He was very nice, asked alot of questions, seemed very interested in helping my husband. He took his time, didnt rush or poo poo him. I'm very glad our family doctor referred us to Dr Narla!

Mean little man that is treat you very disrespectfully. Expect to feel like you are on the witness stand as he brusquely questions you like Perry Mason. Don't expect any details about your condition or what his plan is.

Very disrespectful and unprofessional. Doctor's are there to educate themselves and us regarding health. He will do neither.

Dr. Narla worked diligently with me and helped me find a seizure medicine that worked. I have seen him for almost 14 years and not one time have I ever had a complaint. He listens intently and cares.
