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.

Not coming back
Very unnecessary comments, very rude and always talking about things that aren’t relevant. Kicked my other kid out of the doctors office.

Awesome Doctor... My 13yr old son and 2.5yr old daughter goes to her... She explains everything, she will see my children when asked last minute, she's a happy person to speak with... I'm very satisfied with her, and so are my kids (which is most important)...

My four children have been patients for fourteen years. They are now 22, 16, 15 and 14. When my son was born and Dr. Achanti examined him in the hospital we switched all of our children to her practice..Dr Achanti and her staff are kind amd go out of there way to help with appointments and school forms. We are grateful for her and her staff.

My daughter has been seeing Dr. Achanti for 8.5 years, since she was released from the NICU. Dr. Achanti and her nurse have been amazing since day one. They are always willing to take the time to answer my questions and are very informative. I would highly recommend Dr. Achanti to others. She is very direct, but still warm. My daughter looks forward to seeing everyone in her office!
