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.

Outstanding staff.
Staff to the assistants who help Dr. Putcha are very professional, make you comfortable, but also can make you laugh. A patient, service at best.

Great physician and wonderful staff
Dr. Putcha is a caring and excellent physician. He spent time with me before and after my procedure. His staff were professional and great. The procedure was painless. As I’ve done for years, I’ll be back for my next colonoscopy.

The Best!
I delayed having a colonoscopy for almost 19 years. Dr. Putcha and his team made me feel very comfortable. And no judgement! So glad I went! No cancer, but 3 polyps removed that were pre-cancerous. Thank you Dr Putcha!

Great Dr.
Followup from Dr. Putcha's office was outstanding. I was to have a colonoscopy 2 years after my last one. They began contacting me exactly 2 years after my last procedure. They didn't drop it when I didn't schedule the appointment right away. The prep was about as good as one could expect, using pills for part of it so less drinking of massive quantities of nasty liquids was required. I was in and out in less than 3 hours. Dr. Putcha is punctual, professional, and personable. He takes time to answer all questions and tries to make the patient as comfortable as possible. He is thorough. I believe he has, once again, saved my life.

Excellent service
I highly recommend Dr.Putcha and his team. They did an excellent job making me feel welcome and comfortable before, during and after my procedure. They took time to explain everything to me. When I had questions during the prepping period the day before the procedure , Dr. Putcha was very patient and understanding with me.

Endoscopy Procedure - Dr. Raj Putcha
Dr. Putcha, his medical assistants and his staff deserve a five star rating. Everyone was congenial and polite and they all displayed an attitude that made you feel confident that you would get the best of care. You were informed of what would be occurring during the procedure and were given a folder after the procedure with information you would need for when you arrived home. Dr. Putcha is a very experienced, competent and caring physician. I highly recommend him.
