I am a near 70 yr old who has a very serious spine condition, now total spondyloloptosis which has originated from spinal fusion (1972) when I was only 23 yrs old and, at that time was operated on very successfully by very competent and compassionate ortho surgeon who was one of the 3 original docs of this clinic, drs Hargadon, Mitchell and Eggers all of which I believe were highly skilled and professional ! Now that my fusion is severely fractured with 0 disk space @ L5-S1, one of the newer docs want to help me whatsoever ! I was seen by Vemuri and, I too got a very bad impression of his knowledge and/or spine surgery skills ! He could answer no questions about my now near hopeless condition, had never heard of type bracing I was put in by original doc, LOC, who had done my fusion, clinic then on Eastern Pkwy, seemed lightyears better than what I have witnessed in new LOC ! This is Not Your Man should you need Fusion for grade 2 or above spondylolisthesis like I did at such an early age ! Have thanked The Lord, over and over that I did have the good fortune of being operated on in 1972 by I believe Best of The Best ! That fine Dr, I am certain, has now gone on to Glory and I have been left with no spinal dr, period, I think because of Unfair Patient Profiling and Untruths told about me ! This guy was anything but helpful and, from my experience for near 50 yrs with my own spine, knows very little about spondylolisthesis or its many complications as he avoided all of my questions for any help ! I am a retired Reg Nse having practiced over w5 yrs in state of ky and it is so discouraging to me to discover that , basically. When technology went up, patient care, from every aspect it seems has and continued to go down !!! I need, so badly, another good spine doc since mine passed away. but unable to find one that will be professional in all of Louisville Ky !!! I would rate this Vemuri about a 1 out of 5, Truthfully !! And I , neither, can understand how, today, a DO, who is not an MD, is allowed to operate on anyone's spine ! When I had my Fusion, in 72, my good ortho doc also had with him on the surgery a top notch neurosurgeon, also very good ! Spinal Care, today, seems to have gone down, down, down and, oh yes, this guy told untrue things in his office visit report about me also !! I would certainly welcome name of a good spine specialist in this day and time

Awful doctor, rude staff, waited 1.5 hrs to be seen he spent maybe 90 sec. With me before leaving the room without telling me the appointment was over. Worse place I've ever been!

Vemuri is NOT a medical doctor. Stay far away from this guy. Go online and research your condition ( Mayo Clinic has an excellent web site ). Look at alternative conservative options. Surgery is the very, very last option . Vemuri is by far the worst surgeon I have seen. He performed surgery on my cervical spine and lied about the procedure and minimized the risks. It was a decision I regret daily. I am in worse condition now than before surgery. Stay away from this osteopath.

He is a very good Doctor. I love everything he fixed my back and he also fixed my daughters' back. He is so intelligent. I love the way he was so truthful and honest. I had another doctor not fix my back and made it worse. I studied and checked out many doctors before I choose him. Love this doctor.

I seen dr Venturi 9 months after being the onset of my back problem.i was referred to him by an orthopedic doctor after having been under her care.he was a god send.He made me feel like I was the only patient that mattered at the moment he was in the room. It's been a year to my surgery and I feel WONDERFUL. I cannot praise him enough. I now feel like I'm in my 30's again and not like a 70yr old. Wonderful doctor. I have referred several family members to him and he has performed successful surgeries on two of them as well.

Doctor Vemuri explained my condition very clearly and patiently resolved all of my questions. He laid out my treatment options (and the pros and cons of each) thoroughly and completely. Dr. Vemuri was also the first doctor in a long series of doctors to correctly diagnose my health condition. Very satisfied with his exceptional care.

Dr. Vemuri has a great bedside manner. He doesn't rush you, takes his time and answers all questions patiently. He offers a great deal of information on your diagnosis, treatment options, and prognosis. I am so glad my doctor recommended him to me. I will be having surgery soon, he will be my surgeon. Will give updates later.
