April 16, 2022Justin, the Fellow, who spent time with me first, took time to explain things and ask me several questions about my knee issues. Dr. Parvateneni was great. Did not make me feel rushed. Explained what he feels the problem is, discussed options, expressed concern in operating too close to the last surgery, understood the pain issues and referred me to a pain management doctor to help with pain until I can have surgery. I was very impressed with both of them. I just kick myself over and over for not going there in the beginning of this problem. April 14, 2022The PA was very good. Dr Hari Parvataneni Is the best!!! April 5, 2022Very satisfied and comfortable with the quality of information and communication. March 31, 2022Dr Parv is always so good at knowing what to address from my questions at a level I can understand. March 24, 2022Dr Partannini and his staff were all excellent March 17, 2022Dr. P is the best! Listens, care and takes action to resolve all health issues. March 17, 2022I am very happy with the care I have received from Dr Parvataneni. I recommend him to everyone that has bad hips or knees. If I moved from the area (no plans) I would return to get my care from Dr. Parvataneni. I had my other hip replaced by another surgeon before I moved to the area. So when I say Dr Parvataneni is the best I know what I am talking about. March 16, 2022Very happy with my surgery and follow thru March 14, 2022Good March 1, 2022I have recommended Dr Parvataneni to several people already. February 28, 2022Dr. Parvatenini and his staff are the best! I would recommend anyone to them. The care and attention is first class all the way. February 27, 2022Extremely Patient focused articulation and learned professional care. Indeed, I would highly recommend the care provider to others. February 26, 2022Dr Parvataneni is my hero
