Pratibha Vemulapalli
"I was actually referred to Dr Gibbs but when I met them both at the seminar I instantly knew Dr Vemulapalli would be my choice. She had a kind smile and a no nonsence attitude. My opinion of her never changed. Instead with time I just verified why she had to have been my only choice. There was nothing I did not like about Dr V. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone. Well the switchboard is not that great but her staff is fabulous. I would not have been able to get thru this without Janice, AJ and Marilyn. Kristen was also great, whenever I had a question about my protein or diet,she was an email or call away. I knew before I signed those papers, how importnat it was for me to take care of myself not only before the surgery but most importantly after the surgery. Dr Vemulapalli never led me to believe that all I needed was to get the surgery done and then snap, she waved her wand I'm thin. She always let me kow this is a rough road and if you fight well you will win. As to which aspect of her is better, well I can't choose. She had me confident and smiling when I was nervous before surgery. She had me confident, carefree and smiling after surgery. Each appointment was always a pep talk in a way, to let me know, no matter what people say, this isn't the easy way out, so if you are not ready, say it now and we'll stop. Sorry if this sounds to good to be true, but it is. She is 100% the best. Realize you will have impatience with your health insurance and the pre surgical tesing and diet but every aspect I have had interaction with her was great. During the operation she found a MASSIVE hernia taking up almost a good half of my lower right belly. As far as other doctors made it seem, they said they doubted the surgery would be completed. But she did it. And I will be returning to her or one of her colleagues later on, after I have lost weight to get the hernia removed . If this were a rating she'd have a 10.0 She is perfection. I and my family are forvever indebted to her. I have a better lease on life because of her. "
