Dr. Venigalla is by far the best PCP I've had! She is attentive and knowledgeable, and I truly feel like she listens and provides extremely helpful feedback.

Dr. Venigalla is business-like, calm, efficient, and direct. She might not be the best physician choice for those who prefer the "warm and fuzzy" manner some associate with a "family" doctor. I have the feeling that she is very competent, and I have confidence in the attention and care I receive.

Dr V has a 4-point program to help get me healthy (weight, BP, A1C, Cholesterol) and we are making progress.

She's great, knows her stuff, personable, asked what other concerns I had, acknowledged when she wasn't sure about something, and spent as much time as I needed. The appointment did not at all feel rushed. By the way, asking if I saw the provider within 15 minutes of arrival is probably not a fair question, as part of that time, I was filling out a pre-visit questionnaire in the waiting room, and part of that time I was being evaluated by the medical assistant.

I am disappointed that my own dr did not call me. The Medical Assistant called me for the test results snd said that I would need an ankle brace. Turns out I have a boot up to me knee. I have no idea how long I have to wear it, I have questions about wearing it during the day, etc. The med assistant could not answer my questions. My doctor said she would call and she didn't. It would be like me, as a teacher, telling a parent that I would call then passing it onto a non certified employee to make the call. I'm disappointed.

The provider seems to be highly competent, thorough, and careful. The provider has a somewhat "distant" manner which I have learned to respect. Some patients would, no doubt, respond better to a provider with a "warmer" approach.

I have a very difficult time having a blood draw.I was unhappy to learn my cholesterol lab was not included. This was not the first time specific labs were not included such as magnesium, sodium, potassium, etc. Very disappointing. I try always to check to make sure they are included in my lipid panel.

Evidently due to a change in the MA, my Prolia shot appointment was overlooked. When I called in, I was given an appointment as soon as the shot would be available. It takes a couple of weeks for the Clinic to receive the shot. Lab tests were ordered, and the Dr worked me in. This time, the MA made my appointment for 6 months ahead in order for this mix up not to happen again. Dr asked me to call Clinic to order Prolia 2 weeks before my appointment, also.

Dr. Venigalla has a "no nonsense," professional approach. She wastes no time and rarely engages In informal dialogue. However, I have always found her to be well Informed about my health history, to exhibit great concern for determining possible underlying reasons for symptoms, and to be - from the standpoint of my largely uninformed ability to judge - very knowledgeable. She is, In her way, "friendly" and compassionate. I especially appreciate her prompt responses to questions and concerns I sent via My Heath. Thank you for asking.

I know my provider sees a LOT of patients. I also know we are still in the midst of a pandemic and staffing shortages are real and there just aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done. Considering all of this and giving as much grace and understanding as I can, I did feel my appointment was extremely rushed and my concerns were heard and quickly given a "remedy" to try. I had two main concerns I wanted addressed that I let my provider know ahead of time in the comments when I made the appointment. Those were addressed but no further questions were asked about my previous health history or if I had any other concerns not listed in my comments. My provider seemed a little surprised I was there to talk about Issues not related to what I have previously been in for, as though I only have one health problem that can be focused upon at once. It just felt somewhat impersonal and I'm curious if the interventions offered/prescribed are somewhat of a band-aid on the root of some of my issues. The only consideration I appreciate is that they wanted me to make a follow-up appointment to see if the interventions were supporting improvement in my areas of concern, and I do plan to be more direct with my needs and share beyond the issues on my "list".

I had to cancel an appointment the same day due to illness. I left a message on providers assistants voicemail. Later I got a message from a receptionist that was rude, and said I was a no-show. I called at 8:02 am to cancel, and no one answered so I left a message with the assistant. I went back to sleep after that due to not feeling well.

Dr. Venigalla is amazing! She remembers my issues on a consistent basis. She is cautious when prescribing medications but listens to what my reaction is to various ones and always tells me why she is prescribing them or ceasing to prescribe them. I try to make my appointments for follow up before I leave the office so don't always have to rely on the phone.
