DEVARAJ MUNIKRISHNAPPA, MD REVIEWS

Dr. Devaraj Munikrishnappa, M.D. is very patient and compassionate. I found out through this office I have a hernia. When Dr. Munikrishnappa was telling me my kidney function is find and I have a hernia, he was kind enough to try to answer my unending questions and concerns. He told me this was not his area and immediately reached out to another MD and left a message and asked his office to get me in sooner than later. I asked him if this was gone to kill me and he said no, but get it taken care of ASAP. Dr. Munikrishnappa has kind eyes and wonderful bedside manner. I highly recommend this MD and his friendly staff.

Dr Devaraj was awesome. No long wait. He asked questions and explained everything to me. I have been under the care of several Drs and he is the first Dr to explain to me my condition. He has very good bedside manners. I would 100% recommend Dr Devaraj.

In my initial appointment with Dr. Minikrishnappa I was impressed by his patience, kindness and thoroughness. I found Dr. Munikrishnappa extremely well practiced and very competent. The Dr's staff also reflected these traits.
