SHC Patient, Jan 2019

I have been seeing Dr. V for many years. She always remembers me from previous visits and is familiar with my health needs/history. She often asks about other members of my family (whom she also sees as PCP). I appreciate that I am not a "stranger" when I come in for checkups, etc.

SHC Patient, Dec 2018

I was seen and explained to Dr Velpuri my concerns and I was not touched or examined at all. I explained I have pain in my ear and it was not looked at or addressed, my BP was very high and it was not addressed. I was treated more like I was there for depression, which I was not. I was frustrated and felt like I was brushed off with my concerns with no answers as what to do next. I will be seeing a different MD for any other concerns in the future.

SHC Patient, Nov 2018

I really like Dr. Velpuri. She's thorough and seems to genuinely care.

Talking with Dr. Velpuri is like talking with a friend. She is very comforting and always listens. She is a wonderful Physician!

SHC Patient, Sep 2018

I've been seeing my dr. for many years - in looking at my chart she refereed to my "asthma" and ongoing "liver disease" - neither of which I have. This is very concerning to me. She didn't seem to care that this info was inaccurate! Also my "annual" exam was nothing more than a conversation about "how things are going" & blood work - nothing else.

SHC Patient, Sep 2018

My wife and I have recommended to Dr. Velpuri in the past.

SHC Patient, Sep 2018

I was very happy with the non-judgmental STD testing experience

I came in for a physical and received not much more than a regular office visit

SHC Patient, Apr 2018

Dr. Velpuri is a very compassionate physician and is gently in her approach to treat me. I have recommended her to my friends.

SHC Patient, Apr 2018

Pat Espicha and Dr. Velpuri are worth their weight in gold! they kept track of both of our illnesses on a daily basis and got us through the worst of our colds/flu. they are the best!!!

SHC Patient, Mar 2018

love Dr Velpuri, I recommend her to everyone I know

SHC Patient, Mar 2018

All good except I was there 3 days prior and was not diagnosed with bronchitis. My chart clearly shows bronchitis on annual basis. Every virus turns into bronchitis. So I spent a miserable weekend, missed work and had to return Monday. I guess I should have pushed stronger.

SHC Patient, Mar 2018

Very happy.

SHC Patient, Mar 2018

Espicha was very informative and made me feel comfortable and as if my questions were important. This has not been my experience with other doctors and I was very grateful for her patience and compassion.

SHC Patient, Mar 2018

Dr. Velpuir is amazing. She has wonderful bedside manner & was so patient with us first time parents.

SHC Patient, Mar 2018

Dr. Velpuri is very attentive to my questions, and shows a real interest in my well being. The staff did an excellent job of administering my blood test and giving the needed shots prescribed. Very receptive to my requests that I need to lay down when getting shots.

SHC Patient, Feb 2018

she's a great doctor

SHC Patient, Jan 2018

Dr Velpuri is the best doctor here and that's mostly because she listens and doesn't hurry you along for the next patient

SHC Patient, Nov 2017

I went in for an annual physical. I expected a thorough exam, similar to my previous doctor from Stanford Healthcare. Dr Velpuri did not do much beyond answering some questions and ordering basic tests. She only heard to my heart and lung. I found her approach to be very casual and cursory. She had not read my records before coming in. I came away feeling that I did not get a thorough physical exam that I deserved.

SHC Patient, Nov 2017

I have been seeing Pat Espiche for years. Her and her nurse assistant Shawn are awesome!! I trust both of them and the advice they give to me.

SHC Patient, Nov 2017

She show really concern and listen to the pain and bad experience I had gone through with my surgery. She made feel like she care about how I felt and would be there to help me get well.

SHC Patient, Oct 2017

DR Velpuri, is smart, knows my case, and easy to talk to. I like to continue to see her even with my new insurance in 2018.

SHC Patient, Sep 2017

I like dr Velpuri a lot!

SHC Patient, Sep 2017

dr Valpuri is wonderful

SHC Patient, Aug 2017

Dr. Velpuri is truly an outstanding physician. She takes her time to listen and provides care that never seems rushed.

SHC Patient, Aug 2017

I like that she explains why when diagnosing.

SHC Patient, Aug 2017

As a new comer from Stanford Clinic ,Menlo Park ( Dr. Kelly Traver) , to Pleasanton, I literally stumbled into Dr. Velpuri's office when I twisted my ankle and noticed the Stanford Health sign near my new house. She was so welcoming and reassuring that she became my new doctor, since I now live in Pleasanton. I cannot recommend her more highly; she is intelligent, informed, communicative, provides immediate and excellent care, and all with such wonderful compassion and sweet humor. Simply fabulous! LOVE HER!

SHC Patient, Aug 2017

Dr Velpuri was so good, I bursted into tears at the end. Don't recall that ever happened to me in a doctor's office. She was not my PCP but she researched my files and can talk to me about the relevant points the moment she came in. The entire conversation is focused on my issue of concern, yet she connects with care. She was able to concisely give a roadmap for my issue thus giving me a sense of knowing what to expect down the road - very useful for my peace of mind. She is a wonderful partner for my health care.

SHC Patient, Aug 2017

All is Good

SHC Patient, Aug 2017

Dr Velpuri is such a great doctor. I appreciate that she really listens to me and always makes me feel better. She's the greatest

SHC Patient, Jul 2017

I feel that Dr Velpuri really cares about wellbeing

SHC Patient, Jul 2017

There was no need for follow-up care

SHC Patient, Jul 2017

My doctor is always very nice. Only my last few visits seem to be too rushed. I get the feeling that I am burdening them with my health issues. As though I was in a drive through doctor visit. In and out.

SHC Patient, Jul 2017

My doctor got me in good shape after three weeks illness

SHC Patient, Jun 2017

I recommend Dr Velpuri to all my family and friends

SHC Patient, Jun 2017

She didn't explain the procedure to me at all, did not seemed concerned about my questions. Reached out to her after my appointment for follow up care as in person she said "make an appointment for three weeks" and walked away and she gave two sentences and didn't even actually answer the questions I sent in the message.

SHC Patient, May 2017

the Doctor is very concerned about my medical problems. She is very friendly and personally engaged

SHC Patient, Apr 2017

I cannot come up with enough superlatives for Dr. Velpuri. She is so caring and solicitous. My mother has dementia and it is a challenge getting responses from her. Dr. Velpuri is so kind and helpful AND supportive.

SHC Patient, Dec 2016

Love love love Dr. Velpuir - she is the reason I continue to bring my business. Period.

SHC Patient, Dec 2016

I feel like Dr. Valpuri is in a hurry and doesn't want to spend time with me. This time and last time I saw her, I asked her questions about an issue and she forgot to address it. For example, I mentioned that my shoulder was itchy and after she did the general exam, she didn't look at my shoulder. She told me to get dressed and meet her outside, but she wasn't outside, so I couldn't ask her to look at my shoulder.

SHC Patient, Dec 2016

SHC Patient, Mar 2015

I saw the nurse practitioner, Dr Velpuri came in briefly to confirm diagnosis. I have more confidence in the nurse than the Dr... she always acts as if problem is minor and never discusses history/family like the nurse practitoner

SHC Patient, Mar 2015

I believe I have come to Bay Valley Care for over 13 years!

SHC Patient, Feb 2015
