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

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.

Dr. Velpuir is amazing. She has wonderful bedside manner & was so patient with us first time parents.
SHC Patient, Mar 2018

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, 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

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

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
Dr Velpuri was the best physician with courtesy, knowlede, patience and the best listener . I love her and I will see her for all my problems.
