Dr. Dave is a very smart, knowledgeable, caring, and respectful Doctor who has been practicing…read morefamily medicine for over 50 years. In his office, he has an Ultrasound machine, a microscope, and some other medical instruments. He can always know what is going on with the patient based on objective & subjective findings and his 50+ years of experiences, and so offer proper advice or options based on the patient's individualized conditions. Timely best possible referrals have saved many people's lives because he knows very well where to direct the patient to go for their further care and treatment. BTW, your heart won't break after you get the bill. The charges are extremely reasonable. His staff, Andrea and Monica, are warm-hearted people who love to help people as well. I know this because I have been in this office for a few years practicing Chinese medicine, providing acupuncture and related services. Just give you a couple of examples: Dr. Dave found my patient's huge tumor with his ultrasound machine upon her first visit and offered her a timely & best possible referral so my patient got very well taken care of; he spent hours and hours trying to find a super specialist who can really solve another patient's very difficult problem in his budget; ... Dr. Dave works beyond office hours everyday. He may follow up with patents, making referrals, talking with his colleagues ... . Even when the patient himself gives up and becomes hopeless, he doesn't. He is trying to work out a solution for everyone no matter how difficult the problem is. I highly recommend Dr. Dave. I sincerely wish he can work until at least 100 years old and can see more patients!!!

He is open to discussing my ideas for treatment, but will tell me in a respectful way when he doesn't believe something is in my best interest, like a wise owl guarding over my health and well-being, looking out for the long term risk/benefit to any approach. He also really cares about me as an individual, and works hard to help me towards my goals. Adam was my doctor in my high school years, and when I moved back to the area, I knew who to go to when I was having some health issues. A real family doctor, he identified my dad's cancer, and supported him through the acute years of chemo after setting him up with a great oncologist. My dad is stable and healthy a decade later. He also treated my grandma (nonny) and came to the bedside of her hospice room during those last days of her long life, sharing stories, laughing with us. He's made a big positive impact on my family.

From the moment I walked in, he made me feel completely comfortable and genuinely cared for. He takes the time to listen, explains things clearly, and never rushes through appointments. You can tell he truly cares about his patients' well-being, not just the symptoms in front of him. His calm, confident manner instantly puts you at ease, and his follow-through is exceptional. The office runs smoothly, his team is kind and organized, and the whole experience feels personal and professional from start to finish. Thank you for being Dr. Awesome!

He was the rudest doctor I have ever met! It's pretty bad when you leave a doctor appointment and feel worse than you did when you walked in because the doctor heckled and belittled you the whole time for following your current doctors orders. He told me 3 times, "isn't it common sense to stop taking a medication if it's not making you better" . . . Well guess what buddy, I am not a rheumatologist and I am taking remicade because my current rheumatologist is hoping with time and increasing the dosage will improve the results. I came to him for a second opinion and had hope that he could help me not insult me, and I actually paid money for this! All he cared about was telling me all the doctors he knows at UCSF. I don't care if you are best friends with the president or who you know, I needed help and all you did was send my disease into a bad flare by stressing me out even more. This guy is a poor excuse for a doctor and has absolutely no interest in helping patients.

I consider myself somewhat of an authority on doctors, and Dr. Palakurthy is excellent! I have anxiety and PTSD from past appointments but Dr. P always takes the time to not only listen, but to understand any and all symptoms, issues, concerns, fears, thoughts and suggestions with which I come to him. He considered my input, explains things in ways and until we're both confident I understand and he includes me in the decisions regarding our plan for my healthcare. I couldn't ask for a better doctor, but on top of feeling heart and respected by my PCP, the staff at his office are exemplary. The professionalism, patience, efficiency and kindness of the entire office staff makes having to go in less of an ordeal for me. They are accommodating- Dr. P once came back from lunch early to see me because I had mistakenly come in two hours early for my appointment, understanding- when calling to leave a message for the doctor I had a mini-breakdown/anxiety attack but Michelle handled it perfectly, stayed on the phone and just talked to me until I was able to catch my breath and function mentally, emotionally and physically again, and while providing service far above and beyond the average medical office they also manage to stay so on schedule that I've never silent more than fifteen minutes waiting. And that was on the day I was two hours early! I not only would recommend Dignity Health and Dr. Palakurthy, I very frequently do. And did I mention that Dr. P did some reading about both of my conditions to better familiarize himself and provide better care? Because he did that, too. If there were a way to give more than give stars, I absolutely would!
