Dr. Pavika Tarini Saripalli, MD

Dr. Saripalli is, by far, the best doctor I've ever had. She listens and asks appropriate questions. She genuinely cares about her patients and goes above and beyond to provide excellent care. She is aware of medical cost challenges and works with patients to find the best and most affordable treatment plans. She truly gets to know and understand the "whole patient," not just the disease/diagnosis. Only KU students are able to use Watkins' and their doctors, so that is the only downside. If only every doctor were as exceedingly wonderful, knowledgable, and attentive as she, our healthcare system would be thriving!

She was my PCP while I was a student at KU and I have never had a better relationship with my doctor. She's incredibly professional and caring at the same time and makes great recommendations for her patients. I'd have happily been her patient for the rest of her career if I had remained in the area.

I have only seen her a few times, but she is attentive, a good listener, and responded to what I was saying. Her bedside manner was very good and she genuinely seems like she cares. She related to me personally and also as a woman. She also seemed like she knew what she was doing as a physician. Will. Most likely only being going to see her moving forward for the rest of my time at KU.
