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.

A good guy!
Telehealth
Dr. Buddharaju has been my Nephrologist for a few years now. I don’t recall who recommended him but… I owe them a very big Thank You!!Today’s visit was the norm; review my latest lab’s and briefly discuss my current condition. Dr. Doesn’t have to get into a big conversation, we both know what’s going on here and he get’s right down to it. He really knows his business. I am very thankful to have made the acquaintance of the Dr. and his staff. A quality group all around.

Amazing Nephologist
Dr. Buddharaju is an amazing doctor, he takes his time to explain everything to you to where you can understand. He answers any questions you may have. I am so glad I found a Nephologist that accepts my insurance. His staff is very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Kidney Care Center.
