Manjula Kamaraju, MD

My whole family have been patients of Dr. Kamaraju for many years. I totally love her. She is professional and soft spoken, but after getting to know you, she is so personable and friendly. She is a Mom of teenagers now, just like me. She takes notes on everything you say and then offers ideas to solve your problem.
I also have enjoyed the staff, although my only complaint has been the phone process. It usually takes much longer than I think it should to get through the phone system to make an appointment or leave a message.
If I was rating Dr. Kamaraju or her nurses, I would give 5 starts, but in order to see the doctor, you have to make an appointment first… Since I was very local, I sometimes would just «drop in» to make an appointment so I could cut through the phone hassle.

Well, sometime ago I experienced something opposite to what others say about this doctor. I had a lasting cough and she prescribed antibiotics in a minute of talking to me. When it didn’t work I went to another doctor who identified the reason immediately and even pulled out a free sample of two special inhalers for allergic reactions which worked right away. When I asked insurance company to pay me money back, and consider next successful visit instead, they agreed that treatment might have been wrong, but appropriately done in terms of paperwork. If you think prescribing unnecessary antibiotics is not a subject of professionalism and investigation, then you can visit this doctor. I will stay away.

Dr. Kamaraju was our first experience with a family doctor for our new born and first time parents. Our newborn had reflux but we did not know it at the time. He couldnt sleep more than 2 hours at a time through 6 months, he never napped, he could only eat 2 oz. at a time without spitting it all up through 6 months. Dr. K. and nurses told us this is what babies do and no help! We moved out of state when our son was 7 months old and we took him to the doctor and we got the diagnosis of reflux. We gave our son a few drops of medicine a day and he was a new baby! He slept and ate more and was a happy camper! I felt like the most horrible mom for not getting this solved sooner. Dr. K. pushed us off like we were nobody and didnt care to help us. If you have a baby and are looking for a dr., do not go to Dr. K.

Dr. Kamaraju is the most amazing GP I have seen in my almost 54 years. She’s not only an incredibly competent physician but her «bedside manner» is incomparable. She takes the time to listen, she treats patients like the thinking adults they are, she treats holistically and she’s kind and compassionate. I’ve referred at least 5 friends to her and they’ve all thanked me profusely. Unlike most health care providers, I’ve never had to wait more than 5 minutes past my appointment time either

I agree with everything that Helen L wrote — seriously, I love Dr. Kamaraju… she really does listen well, and is so thoughtful and intelligents and real and kind… She is both amazing doctor and human as well. Sometimes, I wish I was sick more just so I could see her :-) And Rosa her assistant is just wonderful too!

I first saw Dr. Kamaraju in the mid 1990’s with an ear infection. About 8pm that night I get a call from her to see how I am doing. She is a mother with young children at home and she is calling me? Wow! She said since I lived alone at the time she wanted to make sure I wasn’t have vertigo issues and the ear drops were working. So you can imagine that she became my doctor and I immediately referred almost every friend who needed a doctor to try her out. I never heard anyone I referred to her say anything but glowing remarks. And when I lost my medical insurance she continued to renew my medications without question and also made appointments and paid for them myself. She is probably the best listener of any doctor I have ever met (and I did work at a hospital once for 2 years). When you show up a year later she has an amazing memory and remembers things about my job and my family and how I was feeling the last time I saw her. Anyways — her treatments and quick diagnosis have always made the trip to her office enjoyable. She also has the strength of partnering with her patients — instead of just feeling like she is making all the decisions — she takes into consideration what you want. For example — one time she suggested I take a medication and I told her I did not want to do that. I said if in a couple weeks things weren’t better I would consider it. She said fine and I didn’t need it and she never brought it up again. Others doctors would hold it against you if you do not want to take her advice. Not her. Highly recommend her as an excellent general practitioner/​family doctor.
