October 17, 2016Patricia G.Verified patient
Made the appointment through Zocdoc. When I arrived for check in I was told that they didn’t have my name for an appointment to which I showed the confirmation I had in Zocdoc. They then proceeded to tell me that I shouldn’t make appointments with them through Zocdoc because they don’t receive them. Although they accommodated me, I couldn’t see the doctor because apparently my health insurance (MedStar Select) could only be accepted if I had a medical condition like (glaucoma, etc) and since I was only there for an eye exam nothing could be done.

Quick, easy, efficient appointment - in and out in 45 minutes. Tech was friendly and competent, Dr was pleasant and put in place an effective plan of care. Plus, there’s free parking diagonally from the office. Definitely recommend!

They didn't see my appointment on the schedule at first - I had to mention I scheduled with ZocDoc for them to find my appointment.

I can’t find a place for my TBI I’ve tried for months and I mean ALOT of months denial of treatment for something so serious which is life changing
March 29, 2022Latorri G.Verified patient
Dr. Turlapati was nice and thorough but I have reasons to believe that they aren’t sanitizing their rooms/equipment as often as they should. This is concerning considering our current health crisis and basic hygiene for a medical facility.
October 27, 2020Nadiah R.Verified patient
I really like her she smiled and laughed alot she made me feel comfortable the way she talked to me, she let me know what was going on also what I need to do to care for my eye and comeback to see her in a couple days then we will go from there she was great!!!

Nice and neat clinic that is relatively easy to access by Metro. Courteous and efficient staff. I visited the Silver Spring location and was seen very quickly by the doctor. Overall an excellent experience.
January 28, 2020Brian P.Verified patient
Definitely one of the best doctors I've been to. She took time to answer all my questions and reassure me. I did not feel hurried in anyway and will be going back for future eye care.

Very pleasant and helpful staff.
Physician was running slightly behind but was apologetic. I found her to be pleasant, efficient and forthcoming with information pertinent to my care. Office environment clean and orderly.
Carolyn L.Verified patient
Dr. Turlapati is incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. She took the time to hear my concerns, thoroughly reviewed them, offered a treatment plan, and scheduled a follow-up.
My appoint scheduled through ZocDoc was confirmed on my end, but their system in the office didn’t show it. Despite this, the incredible ladies at the front desk honored my appointment and fit me in. Truly incredible experience.

My first visit with Dr. Tulapati and it was wonderful. The staff was very nice at check in and quite efficient. The Medical Assistant that took care of me before seeing the doctor was amazing. She was so professional and very knowledgable about her job. She kept me informed about everything that was going on throughout my appointment and i was grateful for that. Her demeanor was pleasant and she had a wonderful personality. I will say the same for
Dr. Turlapati. The doctor was so pleasant and professional. I would reccomend this practice to everyone. I am glad that I can also take my 8 year old there as well.
