"Dr. Garapati is wonderful. The first thing he said to me, after introducing himself was “how can I help you“. From beginning to end the entire appointment could not have gone better. He listened to everything I was concerned about, and then offered thoughtful, helpful and logical responses. I was very encouraged about the issues I have been dealing with afterwards.

"Great first visit"
"The office was quiet when I arrived. Did the paperwork and paid my copay. Got in on time. Dr Garapati had already reviewed my history, which surprised me as it was in another state, so things progressed rapidly. We had a brief talk and he suggested we wait another six months for some recommended tests. I found the Dr. pleasant and relaxed to deal with and was out in no time. What’s not to like. To be continued once I get scoped."
"First I appreciate Dr. Garapati fitting me into to his already full schedule. To me his greatest attribute is listening and providing information along with his professional assessment. All of which was in terms I easily understood. In addition his professionalism is evident throughout his operation. Each member of his team from the intake specialist to the schedulers for my next appointment and a procedure were as attentive as he was and all had the information needed to complete their portion of the office visit. Noteworthy was the folder provided all paperwork generated during my appointment. AG is a class act"
