Staff was both friendly and personal.When your issue with the medical record. They do have paperwork in the office which I did not find online. Having it online would be a time saver and allow for more thorough responses.

Dr. Vodapally explained things very well and spent time with me to answer my questions. It is very difficult to understand and absorb what is happening to your body when you have a spine injury, so having a doctor that is compassionate is critical. Dr. Vodapally is that kind of doctor, and since he is willing to spend the time needed to really explain what is happening, it creates a better sense of ease for his patients. I feel that I can better move forward with this injury, and still find options in treatment. I also appreciate his direct approach to laying out options and expectations.

I was very happy with Dr. Vodapally

I feel someone in this practice should have referred me to an orthopedic surgeon for hip analysis as they already suspected more than one issue was in play. As it is, I had to insist on seeing one and it turns out I do have “Severe” hip osteoarthritis that requires surgery. I do not have confidence the “whole person” is being treated or that these various specialists will work together for me in the future.

Keep doing what you do. You are all very important to health care

Dr Vodapally listened to my concerns and seemed to respect my input. As a long term chronic back pain patient, that is very important.

Dec 3, 2024
He was very wrapped. He gave me his diagnosis, and nobody else could give me and I would hold it. I would if anybody asked me about a spine doctor I would tell them about him.

Excellent
