I have know Dr Arulandu since he came to town and have been a patient of his for close to twenty years. I choose to continue to see Dr Arulandu due to his thorough understanding of complex medical issues. He has the same thirst to learn about new medications and best practices for his patients as when he opened practice in LaPorte. I feel fortunate to have him as my physician. I find him skilled, modest, honest, and always to show a great deal of integrity.

I have been a patient of Dr. Arulandu for a few years and am very satisfied. He takes the time to talk and doesn't rush the appointment. He listens carefully and is honest in his evaluation and makes sure that your questions are answered fully. LaPorte is lucky to have Dr. Arulandu available to us.

Both my husband and have been with this doctor for over 10 years and he talks to us THOROUGHLY about whatever either one of us has an issue with. He DOESN'T act as though he's ALL THAT EITHER. To be honest Dr. Arulandu talks in a down to earth manner NOR does he sugarcoat ANYTHING he's straightforward when there's a serious problem! Continue the great work Dr.!

he thinks he is so good looking when I have seen better and had better ones then him. he does not know how to treat his patients at all. and if he does not like you or think you are good looking he does nothing for you. he was better when he first starting out but now he is not worth t money he charges people or the insurance.
