Colostomy Surgery and follow-up Ostomy reversal.
I was admitted to Wake Med Cary for emergency surgery resulting from a perforated colon. I was lucky, Dr Adusumilli was the surgeon on call. At first, I just wanted to die because I did not want the colostomy. Dr Adusumilli, the kindest physician I have ever encountered, explained as they were taking me to the OR that he could reverse the colostomy in 3-6 months but first he needed to get me to the OR to save my life. Dr Adusumilli performed almost 8 hours of emergency surgery on me, indeed saving my life. True to his word, he reversed the colostomy 4.5 months later. I have now return to all my pre-surgical activities including swimming, biking, jogging and senior softball.

Dr. Adusumilli is an AWESOME Doctor. He performed surgery on my niece that had colon cancer about six years ago, she is doing great. She didn’t have to take chemo nor radiation. He is so understanding & caring, he doesn’t rush you when talking to him. Thanks again Dr. Adusumilli, you are the greatest!!!!

Dr Adusumilli is the very best colo-rectal surgeon is Raleigh. He is highly skilled in many procedures-- he is very kind, considerate and listens to his patients. Can't say enough about his excellent skills and the awesome care of his patients pre and post-op.

It is rare to walk into a hospital and have nurses rave about a doctor which was my exact experience with Dr. Adusumilli - when my mom was in my care suffering from advanced dementia and some very serious G.I. issues, the doctor, I’m confident, literally saved her life! Add to that an amazing bedside manner and a level of caring and compassion we so rarely see now with many medical professionals. I would highly recommend this doctor to anyone in need of these services

He performed surgery on me back in 2010 and again in 2011.. He has got to be the best surgeon around in his area. If I hadn’t had him things would be a lot different for me now. It’s been over 10 years and I thank God to this day for Dr. Adusumilli. I’m doing great and owe it all to him..highly recommend!!!

My daughter recommend Dr. Adusumilli to me as she had worked with him. He performed a colon resection on me and cleaned up all my adhesions. I can't say enough good about this man. He is caring, patient, and a very skilled surgeon. He fixed all my problems that I had been dealing with for years.

During my visit time, doctor was seeing some one else and asked me to wait.And spent just less than 30 minutes and later charged for 45+ minutes. Check billing before you visit. Doctor is good .

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Adusumilli! From the first few moments of speaking with him, I knew he was just what I had been searching for, and I did search for an experienced surgeon to take care of me. I know all reviews you read about him talk about his sincere caring disposition and this is so true. When you have someone who cares like he does and has the experience to perform the surgery and give follow up care as he does, what else can you ask for. Dr. Adusumilli is top notch in my book!

Dr. Adusumilli changed my life. I went from being in constant pain with deformity to a doctor with great knowledge and an even better character. He spends lots of time talking and explaining, generally caring about his patients. Can not thank him enough or recommend him and his office enough.

I am sadly disappointed in my surgery. I was not told the high level risk and I'm almost certain I asked. I am left to deal with gastroparesis, which I had to ask if I had this. No real instructions to deal with it and it is horendous to deal with. I was only offered meds and no real instructions instructions on how they interact with my current meds. Yes, I read reviews prior to seeking medical attention. But there was a lot lacking here. Dr adusumili said very little. I as a lay person had no knowledge of the madness associated with hernia repair. Shame, shame, shame.

Dr. A saved my life. I suffered from slow transit disorder for over 4 years, with the only remedy being harsh laxatives and enemas every week that made me malnourished, down to 75 pounds, and near death. I went to Johns Hopkins prior to my surgery many times, just to be told they couldn't figure it out. As soon as I saw Dr. A he knew exactly what was wrong and scheduled me for surgery within 2 months of seeing him. During recovery, he was there almost every day. He gave me a chance to live.

Dr A is truly a compassionate and caring person. I’ve never left a review for any medical care provider- and I’ve seen many- but he deserves the praise. He is personable and caring and made me feel very at ease. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Adusumilli is by far a true “physician” he is a gifted surgeon who has also been gifted with a “mind, body and soul” approach to healing. He has an amazing “bedside manner” and is as kind and compassionate as any one could ever want their doctor to be. Not a day went by during a very lengthy hospital stay that we weren’t visited by him. He explained to us each step to expect and he made sure we understood everything. We have the deepest gratitude for Dr Adusumilli and his amazing practice
