Dr. K and staff were fantastic! My only issue was not knowing exactly why I was referred to her to start with. That lack of info falls on my primary doctor's office. I had to investigate on my own to learn the reasons.

I had wonderful care. This provider was amazing. She has a wonderful bedside manner. She is very thorough, and it's obvious that she cares about her patients. I was very pleased with her.

I see Dr. Kuchipudi and I absolutely adore her and I like her for my doctor. But you all had a resident gentleman come in before she did and that I was not, that I didn't appreciate. I didn't appreciate the gentleman just walking right in my room with no warning or anything because and then he's like asking me vague questions and it was very uncomfortable and he had a very uncomfortable mustache and I would have, I don't blame Dr. Kuchipudi for this at all. She's got to do what you all tell her to do. But I did not like it that he came in my room and I don't think that I pay a lot of money to come see her and I didn't, you know, when you have a rheumatologist, they have a lot of history with you and they take the time to listen to you. And I don't ?

The front desk receptionist (check in person) did not provide a welcoming or inviting check-in experience. However, the professionalism and customer service demonstrated by the rest of the team during my visit were positive and helped balance the overall experience.

Nothing I had no issues whatsoever. Everyone was kind courteous. I think my doctor is an excellent doctor. Dr. K was excellent with me. We discussed everything. She explained everything. The person at the front desk was very personable. I have nothing negative to say.

It was a referral visit so it took a little longer to get in. I was very impressed with the doctor she had gone over my file in MyChart before meeting with me. After talking and examine me she showed me things about previous X-rays and scans that I had and discussed in detail what she thought and how she wanted to proceed.

I really appreciate my doctor! She sits and talks to me and it makes me feel like a friend or family. I take so much medication and is so good to work with me on how to take all my meds!!

Have nurses slow down. They appear to just get vital signs quickly so they can leave the room. I felt like I was just another number.

Everyone I dealt with was excellent. I have no complaints with anyone. The staff was wonderful and my doctor was also.

Everyone was very nice. The Dr was asking me the right questions. She listened when I was telling her about my knees.

Everything was absolutely very professional and very thorough. I had more care and information about needing some tests done to get to the issues I had than I have ever had with any other doctor. I am totally happy with my doctor and staff.

I felt that I was treated with respect and that my input was not dismissed simply because I am a senior citizen. I appreciate that. I did not lose my intelligence just because I got older. Some systems may have upgraded but that doesn't mean I lack the ability to comprehend just because things have changed since I last worked in a hospital.

All was good.

I think that I was treated real well. The doctor was very concerned about my problem. He let me know everything, what I could do about my problem. There's no really way I can tell you that they're to support nothing, but she did everything that a person should do about supporting somebody. Thank you.

I am totally satisfied with Dr. Kuchipudi and trust her judgment. For the first time in years I have gotten some relief. The arthritis hasn't gone away and never will but at least I now get partial relief under Dr. Kuchipudi's care.

Yes, I met with a different doctor and she had two assistants like they were observing. And then my regular doctor came in after that. I didn't get a chance to ask about my hip pain. That seemed to get forgotten about. And I did ask questions about my illness and they were able to answer those as best I could, and I was satisfied with that. But it was just confusing with so many people working with me.
