Charges you more than they should
Dr kanura is an amazing dr, but you will be over charged, even if you have a co pay they will charge you more. And if you don’t pay them more than co pay they won’t see you.( Tammy office manager) stated she knew what a PPO was but still changed 100. When co pay was 25.00. I call leave messages and she never returns your call. So PLEASE don’t keep paying money you shouldn’t

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Kanuru for many years. I’ve learned first hand that Pain has a way of consuming your life in ways a person can’t comprehend unless they’ve experienced it themselves. The path forward is long and arduous and it’s up to you to choose to move forward or be left behind as friends and family move on with their lives. Any unchecked agony caused by an accident or degenerative condition can, has or will bring you to a place you do not want to be unless you seek the proper Care that a physician experienced in the field of pain control can provide. Dr. Kanuru is the best that I have found and his staff has proven themselves both professional and compassionate allowing me the important balance between a more comfortable life and the unbearable constant pain I had found myself in. The advanced medical technologies available today can be provided by Dr. Kanuru and his staff allowing the patient to focus on the path to recovery and a better functioning way of life.
