Anand V. Palagiri's Online Review Report Card

I met with a previous urologist and did not leave his office feeling at ease with him operating on my son. I contacted Dr. Palagiri's office and told them my story. The nurse spoke with the doctor and they squeezed me in for a consultation. After meeting Palagiri and his team, I am so thankful I switched. They went through the pre/post surgery expectations thoroughly. I am so happy I went with my motherly instinct and switched.

Horrible customer service. Called to make an appt, was told 9:30. Before I hung up after scheduling the appt. I confirmed the date and time. When I called back to ask a question I was told the appt was at 11:30. Rude people on the phone. Canceled appt and will find another pediatric urologist.

Dr.P, his nurses, and all the nurses at the hospital are all amazing!

Had to do surgery on my year and a half year old son which of course any parent would be nervous of and he put us to ease very quickly. Dr. Palagiri did an amazing job and the whole staff on the follow up appointment was amazing as well. He is a great down to earth guy that you feel like you have know for years. I can not say enough great things about them and I am not one who writes a ton of reviews but these folks deserve a sincere thank you for a job well done.

Our son had his surgery. The process leading up to surgery was, for lack of a better term, a "cluster". The day of his surgery we were called and told the surgery was pushed back which created more anxiety for our son (we were told to be there at 2:30p and, for this routine procedure, got home right at 10p that evening). During the surgery, we were left without information for lengthy times which made us anxious. My husband is always cool as the other side of the pillow and his anxiety level was elevated. I will say that Dr. Palagiri is kind. I spoke with a nurse prior to surgery, I believe from the surgery center, who questioned a couple of rxs that our son takes. Our son has had the same prescribing doctor since he was born which begged the question as to why a nurse was questioning our family doctor. This nurse told our son to stop taking a medication 3 days prior to the surgery RED FLAG! I contacted our physician and he instructed us to not stop the particular rx abruptly. After the surgery we were sent home with 6 pain tablets, our son has been uncomfortable. Lastly, Dr. Palagiri asked when he was going to get to see me to which I responded that we were told that his office policy stipulates only one parent per patient. My husband took our son due to the type of procedure. I would not send a father to a daughter's OBGYN procedure. Odd. Our son has a follow-up procedure. tomorrow and a post-op in August. We will update this review at a later date. UPDATE: The female physician who performed a follow-up procedure on Thursday 22nd was exceptional. Quick in, procedure - no issues and out expeditiously. UPDATE: Post-Op update 9/16/21. Arrived 25 minutes prior to appt. time as per instructed. Sat in the waiting room for quite some time. A woman came into the waiting room an hour late for her appt. and was scene before our son. Finally were put into a room. Waited for Dr. Palagiri. He came in for exam. Exam was brief. Thankfully, we are done with this whole surgical procedure, etc. Took too long for what was presented to us as an out-patient procedure. Our son had to fast for his surgery for almost 24 hours. #Cluster

We haven’t had surgery yet. But they are all over the place . They keep rescheduling us for surgery. I understand complications happen and God bless them.. but they are always behind which means your child is starving from not eating the whole day & night before they finally get them into surgery! I’ll update after surgery if it ever happens ! UPDATE: All of the staff was nice and friendly. The doctor did great and surgery going good. So I would recommend this hospital and the staff. Just be prepared to wait a while if needed... thanks Palagiri !

Not only did Dr palagiri belittle me for trying to take care of my son's pain he also reschedules appointments without getting authorization first!

Brilliant, professional, and empathetic are just a few words that can be used to describe Dr. Palagiri! Having Dr. Palagiri on your treatment team is such a blessing! Two of my younger siblings have kidney challenges and Dr. Palagiri has been providing services to them from day one (more than 10 years now). I’ve witnessed him ease their fears, develop positive rapport with my family, and perform several strategic/successful surgeries. I could be two sisters down without this person and I am eternally grateful for every extra moment I have with them. Thank you for being so awesome Dr. Palagiri, your work is appreciated so much more than you know!

My son saw Dr. Palagiri for a pre op appointment. I was nervous as I was not able to be there in person with my son. Dr. Palagiri put my son and I at ease. He explained everything thoroughly and was sensitive to personal issues/barriers to surgery. He appears to be a wonderful doctor who truly cares about his patients. My son has not had his surgery yet but I feel confident in Dr. Palagiri's skills.
