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.

Minute Psych Consult
I was seen by Dr. Palepu for a psychiatric consultation at a Behavior Health Center. The consultation took, at the very most, a minute to complete. He kept his coat on and stood in the corner of the room and rushed through the consultation as quick as possible. He may as well have prescribed marshmellows, because he did not provide a thorough nor human consultation.

Palepu was bad every time I seen him. I came twice cause I thought eventually we would have to end up some where. This guys not trust worthy. He's just doing what he wants. I wouldn't recommend him to an enemy.

Took my 7 year old daughter to ER,, he came in with is hands behind his back, seen a little rash on her neck, I had to raise her shirt so he could see the ACTUAL rash on her tummy and back, He acted like if he touched her he would get some disease, told me wrong diagnosis, and came back and told me the correct diagnosis and then said it was scarlet fever and it wouldn't kill her. His demeanor was he couldn't get away fast enough and was rude. Time in the room with us was under 30 Seconds.
