Anil Gullapalli

Contrary to the positive reviews, I had one of the worst experience with this doctor. I went to see Dr. Gullapalli for a throat infection causing severe pain and lymph node enlargement. Dr. Gullapalli is highly arrogant and insensitive to patients personal medical history, and only cares about following the protocol. Even after revealing to him that I had an immune compromised history with severe viral and bacterial infection and had to fly back to home country to see the top infectious specialist in my country, he mocked me and said: “well this is US, the only infection we treat is Strep, for other bacterial infections we don’t even treat them because they will get resolved on its own.” Setting aside how wrong this argument is, I try to explain to him my history of infection and how it was treated before, he just stared at me indifferently and questioned my intention to see doctor. I left the office with tears in my eyes and massive disappointment. I don’t think I will ever pay a visit to this location, despite of other potentially amazing doctors who work there. Thankfully I was able to find medicines on my own otherwise the infection may get much worse. If you are overall healthy, with occasional illness that fall perfectly into the standard protocol of treatment, then you may find Dr. Gullapalli a great fit, otherwise, you might want to avoid him.

I have no doubt he's generally highly competent but he can't communicate with patients and has an condescending abrasive manner and is not at all forthcoming with information. Almost every visit I've found myself outside not really sure what just happened or what his diagnosis is, kicking myself for not pushing for information, but somehow he just dismisses you and before you know it you're out of there. Then later I piece it together or get some other communication and realize some passing word or phrase was key. Twice I've found out what his (correct) diagnosis was via later communication with a specialist, but he didn't tell /me/. So I find I kind of dread visits with him, and am looking for another provider. Though as I say, I think he is skilled at diagnosis.

Race based comments made towards my health. Very rude. Does not base medical judgement off of overall health of patient but rather what he is reading from a computer. Extremely insensitive and not at all personable. Lacks professionalism and I also agree I do not understand where all his good reviews came from. If you are a minority, suggest you find another doctor. You’ll be doing yourself a favor.. Race based comments made towards my health. Very rude.

Not sure where all these good reviews came from. I relied on them in making my decision and regret it. This was my worst experience with a PCP, ever. I don’t want to go into further detail for fear of being identified, but I left this meeting with incorrect information in my file, having to repeatedly ask for the referrals I’d requested, and in tears after insensitive comments. Maybe good if you’re used to incompetency. Not sure where all these good reviews came from. I relied on them in making my decision and regret it. This was my worst experience with a PCP, ever.

What to say? Dr. Gullapalli is by far and away the best PCP I've ever had. Wonderful listener, down to earth, genuine, and exceptionally kind. One cannot ask for much else.

Truly an amazing Doctor , who takes his time and is always on time! Shows care, compassion and always listens to my needs. My previous Dr. and I were together for over 25 years, so I was nervous switching Doctors; but when I met with Dr. Gullapalli; I felt as though I had been with him for years.

Dr Gullapali is one of the best doctors a patient could ask for. He truly cares about his patients.

Dr. Gullapalli cared for our entire family, infants, toddler, and grownups. He is a super caring, conscientious physician - and an outstanding patient advocate too.

Dr. Gullapalli has been my PCP for the past few years now, and I can confidently say he is one of the best. I have had a myriad of puzzling and strange health issues over the past few years, and Dr. Gullapalli has been instrumental in getting to the bottom of what was going on. His best qualities are his breadth of medical knowledge and the level of concern he has for you as a patient. No symptoms or issues are too small - if you are concerned, so is he.

Dr. Gullapalli is a wonderful, caring physician. Years ago, I was initially concerned that I had been assigned such a young physician (at the time). But Dr. G. has now been my primary doctor for six or seven years, and he's the best doctor I've ever had. He's an excellent listener, someone who clearly cares about his patients. He takes even minor complaints seriously, and is methodical and thorough when diagnosing a problem. Finally, he's just a great guy--kind, personable, gentle. Tops.
