“The staff were very welcoming. The doctor was very nice and listened to me. I would definitely recommend Dr.
The only downside has nothing to do with the doctor or his staff. The elevator in the building was not working and the public restrooms in the common area of the building shared with other offices were filthy. Floors, toilets and, garbage cans overflowing.”

October 30, 2024James P.Verified patient
What stood out was the ability of the doctor to listen carefully, observe and digest my responses, show concern for a good outcome, understand what I prefer in terms of care to achieve the best outcome for my issue. The recommendations for test to achieve a resolution to my issue were based on the knowledge of the doctor seen and again my values and beliefs.

My first visit went very well. Doctor was well mannered and a good listener. Had good knowledge and grasp on my problems. I certainly recommend him.
October 25, 2022Ramesh K.Verified patient
The consultation seemed ok. I read the doctor's notes in my patient portal. No problem.
However the scheduler ""Sara'' was out to lunch & I was told she would call that day. She didn't. I called 10 am the next day & nothing. I called back @ 3:45 pm, got voicemail & left a message for her stating the consultation does me no good if you don't call to schedule. It's 10:39 am on Monday & nothing. I'm moving on. I have symptoms.

Dr. Velpari is a great doctor! There is virtually no wait with an appointment, and there was no wait in the actual room. He came right in and started asking questions about my health. He is very caring and good at explaining procedures to the non-medical minds. Would HIGHLY recommend him!
