Was hospitalized about three weeks, including icu, only recall seeing him once. He’s a surgeon, surgeons are trained to cut and not offer other alternatives. Nearly died.

Dr Duvvuri was insensitive and did not listen to my husband's wishes during his 1 year of treatment before he ultimately died. He sold him a pipe dream of cure from the beginning and kept talking him in to more procedures that made my husband's quality of life very poor. He wouldn't even consult pain management to help my husband with terminal cancer. He has a God complex and hopefully someday I can forgive him for his inexcusable actions.

We saw Dr. Duvvuri for my husband's pre surgery consultation and he couldn't have been nicer. Sat with us and explained exactly everything he was going to do and made my husband feel at ease. His surgery is in two weeks and we both feel confident that he is operating on him.

dr. duvurri was an excellent doctor. He was gentle, informative, and was very reassuring. And he while he was performing tests he explained it all the way through. His staff was also very gentle and informative as well. I now know why he comes very highly recommended.

After waiting over an hour he was clearly rushed or didnt really have time or wasnt interested. I realize doctors are busy but i really dont like my time wasted either.

The only time I seen Dr. Duvvuri was my first appointment. If it wasn't for that, I would think he really existed. He did not even visit me during my 5 day stay in the hospital. On my post op office visit, he sent an intern. I will not recommend him to anyone, and if i need surgery again, it will NOT be this doctor.

Dr. Duvvuri is great! Personable, intelligent, & very down to earth! This was the first surgery I ever had, partial thyroidectomy. Im 32 urs old & super nervous. He spent time with me to make sure I understood everything & answered all my questions. I like him so much, wonderful doctor! I was truly at ease with knowing he was doing my surgery!
