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.

My son (Shaun) from 4 months old severally allergic to his formula a previous pediatrician had him on was in constant pain and pulling his hair out. As a first time mom I took him so many times to the previous MD who didn't detect the problem. I was referred to Dr. Vinnakota and the initial visit I was in tears because I didn't know what was wrong with my baby. He examined him closely and asked some questions ran a few test and concluded he needed to be on a special formula because he was severely allergic to similac. Dr. Vinnakota advised me it will take time for it to get out his system because it had been 4 months. To be honest I ran out of hope at that point but I had to trust this kind, gently caring pediatrician who assured me my son will be fine. Well after about a month with the new formula Shaun improved and wasn't pulling out his hair. As time continued and all signs of the other formula was out his system I felt a sense of relieve for Shaun and built a trust in Dr. V.
