Vikram Tarugu's Online Review Report Card

Had a good visit there all very nice

I was more than satisfied with the entire experience including Dr. And staff. Very punctual, clean, knowledgeable and kind. Could not be more pleased

I do not usually do negative reviews on doctors. I thought about this long and hard bc people rely on these reviews to choose a doctor. Especially if they are not from the area. If I could, I’d give the doctor and the way they operate absolutely zero stars. I cried during my first exam explaining a very long medical history and the fears I had. I hadn’t had a colonoscopy in a few years and I was having issues with my stomach. The day of the procedure I was all ready very nervous. My blood pressure was higher then ever. I do not have high blood pressure! These procedures are done in his office. You walk in and hear the sound of the beep from the guy who I am assuming was recovering from his procedure and then as you walk down the hall there he is lying on the table. People were throwing up and who knows what in the office waiting room bathroom. I would not dare go in there! I saw this all this before they even put that blood pressure cuff on. My pressure had reached a very high point then I had ever seen on me and they sent me home!! I wasn’t mean. I wasn’t nasty. I said I could never go through that again. They never sent me to the ER! My blood pressure was dangerously high. I could have had a stroke, heart attack who knows!! Thank God, by now, I have learned to manage my own healthcare. I knew what to do. I never heard from this doctor or his office again. I had blood work done, no results were given. Nothing, nada, zilch I was written off! People, we have to be responsible for our healthcare. We cannot just trust everyone. He is highly recommended. I have been to plenty of doctors and I have to say this was my worst experience ever. This is not a single occurrence but by far the worst. Yes, I had to say that again. I have never written a bad review for a doctor(none that I can recall at this time). Who would I be if I didn’t say anything. This guy, oh excuse me doctor( respect not earned but given) could have opened himself up to a lawsuit. That’s another thing that is killing our healthcare. I have close acquaintances that are doctors, from another state, great doctors, who are telling their children not to go into the medical field because malpractice insurance has become so high. Doctors who are honest with me about a whole lot more that I’d never repeat. Florida seems to be one of the worst states I’ve ever seen as far as healthcare goes. Do your homework. See more than one doctor, for any reason, especially if they try to put the blame on something your doing. There are so many diseases out there that we still do not know about. Stay healthy. God Bless. By the way, I saw him in the beginning of January, it’s now May. I did not take any of this lightly before writing.

Tried to get an address error resolved and the staff was just so rude! It's sad how business treat people these days

Didn't listen when I told them I needed special prep instructions, then got snippy when I told them I didn't complete the prep. Very unprofessional. I spent two days fasting and flushing for nothing. If you want a fancy dressed Dr. With a fancy car, this is your guy. If you need a doctor that listens, and works with their patients.... Keep looking.

Dr. Tarugu definitely knows his stuff. Friendly guy and does a good job explaining the GI issue that I had in an easy to understand way. I recommend him as your gastro doc.

My wife's inital visit I can say we were very impressed with the Doctor and staff Have an appt today at 11:30 for a procedure that they say takes at most an hour.Aftet an hour of waiting we asked what was happening and the receptionist said normally have to give it 4 hours.Hadn't eaten from Midnight and not happy with her answer we left and I"m not sure if we will go back. Shouldn't drop a bomb on someone after the fact.

Never did get to see the doctor. I couldn't get past the rude young woman at the front desk. She told me straight away that I needed a refferal and didn't have one. I did have one! The visit was approved by my insurance 2 wks prior. My PCP had faxed it to them 4 times before my appointment! But she insisted I didn't and said they couldn't see me and handed me back my id and insurance card. Extremely disappointing!

I had my first procedure done today and Dr.Vikram was awesome I wouldn't go to no other doctor he is the best and the staff he has was so nice to me and also the anesthesia person was nice also I would recommend Dr.Vikram to anyone who needs a good colon procedure done.

Best Gastrologist ever!!! Highly recommended.Only place I trust and his staff are amazing people girls! Please look no further if you want good service.
