"I am a new 50 yr old and my wife wanted me to get the colonoscopy that I always used to fear as an 8 year old kid at the old barber shop . All the old men were open about their TMI stories of the doctor visits while I tried to just concentrate on drinking the barber shop icee cold glass bottle of coke that cost 10 cents. I still had that fear at 50 until they woke me up after the procedure. Dr. Surapaneni and all the nurses and admin and anesthesiologists that I came in contact with kept me too busy with easy talk and then it was over. Thank God that he also had good news that all is ok. No need to fear anymore until I get any problems within 10 years and I will dread that super sweet flush drink prep.Better than the ocean salt water gallon alternative."

"Dr. Surapaneni is fantastic gastroenterologist. For over a year I’ve had unexplained stomach pain & nausea that increased every time I ate. Other doctors didn’t want to dig and some even tried to tell me my unexplained pain was depression. Dr. Surapaneni was diligent with my case and really tried to figure out what was going on. A couple of surgeries and a PEG tube later, they found my old Nissen Fundoplication was too tight and I had a hernia that didn’t show up on any imaging. He’s been a great doctor I can depend on, and with his help I’m slowly getting my life back!"
"He's super busy but is worth the wait. I would definitely recommend Dr Surapaneni."
"This Dr Surapaneni actually listed to me and looked at my paperwork from the hospital and was able to get tested done in 2 days! I am very grateful as I had gone to a different Dr week before and he was young and would not even listen to what I had to say or even look at my hospital reports plus he wouldn't even have looked at me until mid September! Dr Shaw was his name, young G.I. Dr... he seemed to just treat his patients as a number! I would highly recommend Dr Naveen Surapaneni for you G.I. needs. Very caring Dr and nice!👍"

"I’ve decided to update my review of this physician because the office and doctor have since reached out to me to make things better. Dr. Surapaneni is a very knowledgeable doctor and has an excellent bedside manner. It does always seem like this office has a lot going on though. Because he is such a good doctor, he has many, many patients which can affect the ease of scheduling.
