More about Dr. Padmaja Polavarapu, MD
I am married and have a teenage son who is very active in soccer, which brought me to Florida so he could attend IMG. I travel with him to all his games. Now he is spreading his wings and going to Spain for his last two years of high school so he can experience more intensive soccer. Experiencing an empty nest early but excited about his new adventure. I spend most of my day working as I was lucky enough to choose a profession I really enjoy, so it makes it easier to pass the time. My patient are fun and educating which makes my relationship with them quite jovial and not intimidating to them. By being friends, we work together to maximize their healthcare. I hope you join our practice and experience your best health.

Dr listened carefully to my concerns. Gave me a thorough physical assessment & ordered appropriate diagnostic tests. She was professional & extremely competent. Grateful I finally found a great primary physician since moving to Bradenton, FL.
September 12, 2014Adriana S.Verified patient
I was looking for a primary care provider due to a relocation. Due to multiple physical issues, I need a Dr who understands how each are related and is able to offer the help and services I need to manage my care. Dr Pam took the time to review my past history and provide information that I did not have before. I appreciate her active listening skills and look forward to having a long term patient relationship. The front office staff was professional, friendly and seem to genuinely care about the patients - a big plus when dealing with paperwork and appointments!
September 15, 2014Kelsey W.Verified patient
The time to wait is OK, because she takes time with each patient, so when it's YOUR time, she really listens and talks everything through with you.

A wealth of information...never felt rushed...explains everything. After a year of frustration in searching have finally found a doctor I can trust with my healthcare !
