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.

We have been coming here since my 14 yo was born and we love the staff! (They get the 5 stars!). However….recent changes like not having a real person to greet you and worst of all, someone yelling from the next room “YOU CAN GO TO ROOM 4!” ….so unprofessional!! Whatever your staffing situation, it just felt cold and rude.

Dr. B is an amazing physician and he has an amazing staff. My son is medically fragile and I can’t imagine taking him to anyone else. Dr B takes all of my concerns serious and makes sure I feel comfortable before he leaves the room. He is completely thorough and explains things in a way for anyone to understand. My son has seen the NP for a sick visit and she was just as wonderful. I highly recommend Dr B and his office!

Dr Bhoopalam is the absolute best! He takes time to explain things and really cares to get to know his patients. He is excellent with both of my children and instantly puts them at ease. He is extremely knowledgable but explains things in ways that I understand. Would highly recommend him to everyone!!

Dr. Bhoopalam is very thorough and takes his time with each patient. He makes sure all questions are answered before we leave the office. We switched from a different physician a year ago, and couldn't be happier with our decision.
