He is the absolute best doctor ever. Before surgery I was on a pain scale 8 to 9. I am now on 0 pain. It's amazing after 14 years I can sleep again, I am so grateful.

this is the best doctor I have ever had. He has done two of my spinal surgeries and it has been outstanding. Twice now in the last 10 years he has had a huge impact on my life and has taken me from a Pain Scale of 9 and 10 and even once to a pain scale off the scale to a zero. He has magic hands. he has the whole package the knowledge the talent great bedside manner and very communicative. great doctor I won't go anywhere else.

Just had my second spinal surgery with dr. Kalluri as my surgeon. I have been with dr. Kalluri for 9 years and he is an outstanding doctor and surgeon. The impact he has had on my life two different times have made a huge difference in the quality of my life. I can't say enough about this man and his talent and knowledge. This doctor has the whole package. A great bedside manner very informative and very knowledgeable and quite evidently talented hands. This is a doctor that does not treat you like a number or a dollar sign..

This doctor will drop you and stop caring for you when it is not to his advantage to do so any longer. He has been dishonest in his decision making and notification of further treatments He has not performed well in my surgery and has left me in a crippling state. Do not be charmed by his easy and pleasant manner.

I really like Dr.Kalluri he really seems to care about his patients,he always takes time with me and he has even fought with my Insurance Company for me!! You don't find to many Doctors that will take the time to have a phone conference with the Doctor that denied my surgery trying to get this Doctor to understand his point... I highly recommend Dr.Kalluri & Brad his P.A. If i didn't trust him he would not be the Surgery!!! He always is honest with me answers all my questions the best he can and I like that especially when he sits down and explains everything about the procedures that he will be doing on you
