I have been with Dr. Aluri for about 2 years. Before that I was bounced around from one Dr. to another. When Dr. Aluri took me as a patient everything changed. I was given time and he found what worked for me. All other Dr.s just gave up if I could not take the meds they recommened. I am so thankful for Dr. Aluri and his caring and understanding attitude. What a wonderful man and Dr. he is. I would recommend him to anyone. In fact I did and he also found a treatment for her that worked. Thank You Dr. Aluri.

if there was more than a 5 star rating for Dr. Aluri...i would give it to him! i cant praise his caring, listening, personal concern, warmth, patient support and medical knowledge enough! He has guided me through being barely able to walk and function with my R.A. to my can do ,high energy happy self again. I cant believe what my life was like before Dr. aluri's guidance, care and knowledge. he is genuinely a good man. He even took a call from me on thanksgiving day this year and talked and explained things to me for 15 min till he knew i was comfortable with our action plan. his staff is equally amazing, easy appointment times, maybe 5 min wait in office. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Very satisfied with Dr Aluri's care. He seems to show the time and concern for listening. Takes time to answer questions, which is very important to me.

Dr. Aluri has been amazing in diagnosing my arthritis. He spent an hour on my first visit discussing the issues I was having, he formed an initial diagnosis and what he needed to confirm this. In doing so, he ordered blood tests, scheduled follow up visits and spent a lot of time with me reviewing next steps. I will and have recommended him to others!
