Excellent care. Very attentive. This doctor helped me when I had a cancer scare that proved to be nothing - thank GOD! Her care was a GOD- send. read more

Worst ever doctor visited in USA, the doctor doesn't even have the curtesy to call back and inform about the issue that i visited for. She charges an hefty amount for the sloppy job she does. Never visit this doctor! read more

Dr. Uma Duvvuri Has unfortunately been my primary care since December 2016 up until one week ago. When I first became her patient, she asked me to sign releases from other providers so she gets the info that is scanned into my chart, however, doesn't review or ask questions, or suggest further referrals or options. Or try to make a collaborative care effort. So why bother asking? Duvvuri is 100% narcissistic! Her personality is utterly disgusting. She's rude beyond measure, condescending, incompetent, doesn't explain medical concerns or blood work, disrespectful and has no people skills. All she does is circles things of concern. No explanation or anything. And you won't even get your medications. If she circles something on my blood work and tells me it's a concern, why not give me medication? why do I have to call or beg for a medication that I need?! Especially since she diagnosed me with anemia! Why must I call and request iron pills? Like if I didn't call two weeks ago, I wouldn't have my iron pills. Not to mention, years ago I was diagnosed with a very severe allergy condition which constantly gives me hives so there are medications that I must never run out of to prevent me from going to the emergency room and having to get steroids. I have had several conversations with her emphasizing the need for these medications! You would think that because she has those medical records from my dermatologist, with the appropriate diagnosis, that she should give me refills, as opposed to me having to call her every damn month to renew it! This is a medication that is of great necessity. It would make my life so much easier if she would just have given me 3 to 6 month supply. My allergic condition is permanent it's not going away. It's a shame. She just doesn't even know me as a patient. For example, July 2017 I had an annual physical and I saw her October 2017 and she told me that it's time for my annual physical. Like what? Then Last year (2017), I told her that my grandfather (prostate and carcinoma cancer) aunt (whole body, smoker on her death bed) and uncle (prostate cancer) developed cancer in their 40's. So she told me that I am eligible to be screened. Guess when I got tested ?? July 2018! With all of my health related issues, I have had to request certain specialists based on me reviewing my own blood work. I'm not a doctor, I'm just a psychotherapist. Like my a1c and my cholesterol is borderline; I shouldn't have to tell her that I need a nutritionist. But I did. Never got that referral until this year! Even though in 2017 it was a problem. I feel as though I am managing my own care. Like I literally come to the office and tell her what I need. It Should be the reverse. Like I should be getting some of her money since I'm doing most of her work! For instance, When Shawn the excellent LPN was there, I didn't have to worry about anything. My health and necessary care- he took care of. I was not alone. Anything I needed it was taken care of. I did not have to worry or be anxious And he knew my chart / PHI. I was not just an MRN, but Tiffany. He knew me by name and basically did a doctors job. He knew my medical records he was a better doctor than she could ever be. But he's an LPN. A very educated and knowledgeable professional at that. He cares and connects with his patients. He's ideal. And honestly, Shawn is more medically competent than Duvvuri. Shawn Communicates with his patients. Explains things. Discuses options or facilitate referrals. And all I have to do is show up to the specialist appointment. That is what my former Dr.'s in New York did. They made my life easier. And my appointments were 15-20 minutes. And because Shawn was a better doctor than she was she took away his responsibilities and eventually transferred him. I am really very disappointed that he was removed because now, I have to manage all of this medical stuff by constantly coming to Nutley to get her to do what a doctor should do. Also I have witnessed Duvvuri, being disrespectful, obnoxious and condescending to staff in front of me. I was concerned about how she speaks to Heidi, Amanda, Vicki and Heather. They all help me with more than just referrals. Dr. Duvvuri is beyond unprofessional. How she treats staff, pisses me off because they know my chart / health info etc. They all have SIGNIFICANTLY helped. And I do not want them to quit or feel bullied or feel like Duvvuri can get rid of them, like she did with Shawn. It just seems to me now that Shawn is gone, the girls feel as though they are walking on eggshells. Plus feeling that way is a distraction from getting things done. As a therapist I am very observant of human behavior. And the girls are very anxious by tapping on the desk, holding their heads down, pacing, not looking happy as they usually do, energy is very low. And they are very quiet. As if they are afraid to speak. And constantly looking to see if she is coming. read more

If you are looking for a physician that pays attention to patient concerns, answers questions about your health, or even a physician that simply makes eye contact with you when speaking during visits...KEEP LOOKING! I have seen Dr. Duuvari twice and I will not return. I did not feel comfortable speaking in detail with her about my health concerns, because she cuts me off at every attempt. Her short (often one-word) answers seem disingenuous, and she appears to lack general empathy. Office staff is also subpar. If you can, keep looking. read more

Absolutely outstanding Doctor. Knowledgeable, transparent and sincere, to name a few. Dr. Duvvuri is passionate, driven and kean on catapulting "The Calling," on her life; to be the very best medical professional within her segment. The time she dedicates to a wholesome consultation, compounded with integrity and a faith based foundation, positions her as a leader; in her circle. With so many generic clinics popping up, Dr. Duvvuri, has exactly what is needed; to resonate above the competition. read more

I called this office to make an appointment (phone wait its approximately 10 minutes). I AM sick. After they pick up the phone, you have to wait for their email. To make a sick visit appointment for first time patients, this facility needs to obtain your medical records or you cant have an appointment. God forbid you moved to NJ and your old doctor office its not reachable. All Sick Patients should be priority. I will not be seeing this doctor anytime soon. Because they are a private practice! I do have private practice health insurance. Just cant win when Im sick in NJ. Riverside Medical Group in Nutley, NJ. Sad read more

Dr. Duvvuri is, by far, the worst PCP you could ever run into. I have never been so insulted by a Dr. in my life. Her actions towards her patients are slanderous in nature and her knowledge is weak, at best. Do not expect to get any sort of accurate treatment from her. All decisions will be based solely on her feelings and personal judgement towards you and have no medical backing. Spare yourself from this poor excuse for a Dr. Riverside Medical Group, Nutley NJ, has great office staff but this Dr. should be stripped of her license. read more

I always know when I need help that she will listen to how I feel and what I say. One doctor that will remind you of your next shots. I would definitely send anyone of my friends to her. Very reliable and understand. She makes it her business to help in every way possible. read more

Hello Dr. Duvvuri!! I truly hope you are the one reading your reviews because this goes directly towards you and your professionalism as a physician as well as your competence!! There is one word to describe you, and that is down right HORRENDOUS in both your bedside manners and medical skills!! Let me start by saying, I was in today and gave you the benefit of the doubt after reading all the reviews about how horrible you were and still came to see you, hoping to form my own better opinion. Boy, should I have listened to those reviews because they described you to a tee. One lesson you should take away from this is learning how thin the walls to your doors are in your office. Before coming into my room, after waiting 25 minutes in the room, I heard you speaking with an associate about "the person in room 6" , which was so happened to be myself and said "oh, she's a new patient and denied the flu test, let me see what she wants!" First off, you don't speak about any patient in that way as well as if I was a new patient or returning patient, we should be treated the same way with dignity and respect which happens to be your mission statement hanging in the waiting room!! I was in their for a sinus infection and denied a flu test because I didn't have those symptoms--you wanting to do that shows one thing, you just want to bill insurance and get money and not care about the well being of your patients. Like it couldn't get a any worse from there, you come in and look into my ears jamming the instrument in my ear hurting me more and getting frustrated with me because you couldn't reach, very hastily telling me to hold my hair back!! Doc, that's your job!! Last time I checked I'm not a physician and you should be the one being able to examine me and not get upset when I can't help you!! I promise you I will not be returning (which you probably don't even care about) and I will be reporting this to the upper people in Riverside Medical Group as well as my insurance provider with the hopes that they will drop you as a physician!! One last piece of advice, you should really start acting the way your staff does!! They have more professionalism and bedside manners in their pinky then you have in your whole body!! FUTURE PATIENTS PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS DISGRACE OF A DOCTOR!! read more

Being a new patient, I found Dr. Duvvuri to be very competent, empathic, and a great doctor. I felt she was very thorough with the physical. She asked the right questions. She made me feel comfortable. read more
