I was extremely nervous prior to my procedure, but the bedside manner of everyone put my mind at ease. Very polite and efficient with explaining the paperwork and the details of the procedure as well as the procedure itself. The experience was definitely a plus! Thank you Dr. Puppala!

Great experience all around! Beautiful office, the entire staff is very sweet, and the nurses are both kind and knowledgeable. The doc was great and explained more to me in 5 minutes than others have in years. He showed me exactly where the problem was in my MRI and within 15 minutes, I left the office with absolutely no pain for the first time in a LONG time. Can't ask for anything better than that! Would highly recommend.

I really needed help for several months. Comprehensive provides a professional environment and Dr. Puppala has good bedside manner & wants to see his patients have positive outcomes. The Staff is always very polite & The receptionist is quick to give accurate info for follow-ups. I am thankful that Tanner & Emory Hospital has referred me to Comprehensive to start getting me proper treatment.

Dr. Puppala has done wonders for me. C5-7 were fused in 2008. 2019 MRI revealed buldging disks due to Osteoarthritis. Dr. Puppala performed an ablation and took all of my C spine pain away. I am forever grateful for him. If you have chronic pain I recommend you come to him right now!!
Don't wait any longer there is hope and results.

EXCELLENT experience! As a 31 year old healthy, former collegiate athlete I never expected to find myself needing this type of treatment...its for "older" people right??
After an accident September of last year, I was experiencing a lot of lower back pain. Come to find out I had a few bulging discs and one pretty badly herniated disc.
The care that Dr.Puppala's team provided me with was exactly what should be expected when you are dealing with any pain-related procedure. Everyone was so professional but so personable. I felt relaxed the entire time and everyone was so attentive!
As I did not have a driver, I chose to remain awake (with a numbing shot) for my discectomy. I was a little nervous, but was immediately put at ease. Every single step of the procedure was described before it was done, that way I was prepared. Dr. Puppala and his assistants talked to me the entire time, keeping me relaxed and at ease. The whole procedure only took about 15 minutes.

Dr. Puppala is a blessing. I can’t walk and have so much chronic pain if I don’t go to him when I need a something done. He tries different procedures for you if needed. He’s the best.

After having two groups of three injections and no relief for my SI joint he wants to put and implant in my back. The most distressing thing was the way he talks to you, very hateful and short tempered, NO bedside manner about him at all. I'm not the only one he has had in tears if you can get him to even talk to you at all!

Soct Papula always wants to talk you into an injection therapy. I specifically said I do not want procedure. He later stated must have treatment. I ask a cout and after doing lumbar injections the price was astronomical. He stated I needed 3 mor for procedure to work. I did I cant afford it. While out of surgery he hands me a 3 day skrip so I have to return for the other 2 injections. I state I cannot afford these and he pretty much gave me alternative of I cant write you medication without doing injections. O left the office in tears. Due to sever pain from prior injection and no medication written .

This is a perfect 1st time visit to Comprehensive Spine and Pain. Its been exactly one year and seven days since my accident and I feel the best I've ever felt. the level of professionalism and bedside manner displayed at this facility by Dr.P and his team was impeccable from the moment I entered the facility. The special touch of allowing personalized music choices during the procedure was like icing on the cake. I am forever grateful and I pray god grants everyone in that office what the deserve of their hearts. My next consult is a virtual visit means they are continuing to be very innovated.
