Dr was very thorough and explained everything to us.

Ive seen a ton of doctors lately. Nurse Rebecca and Doctor Palakuru were both PHENOMENAL at their trades. Empathetic, good listeners, knowledgeable, comforting, and genuine. This practice could put on a class in servant leadership and active listening. THANK YOU BOTH AND GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!

It was a great experience. I went to this doctor years ago. Thankfully I still had his business card so when I needed him again I setup an appointment. He was so helpful and was just what I needed. Wonderful staff too!

It's difficult to get an office appointment. This practice seemed unorganized with doing in home sleep studies. It takes months to get result after you complete the sleep study test. I would not use this practice again.
