The reviews listed below were collected independently of The CORE Institute through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
I went into my appointment worried because I had previously been told that I may have an Achilles tendon rupture. From the moment I met Dr. Tharesh Udupa, he put me at ease with his knowledge, professionalism, and genuine concern for my situation.
What impressed me most was that he was able to evaluate my injury the same day and, based on his expertise, saved me from unnecessary MRI imaging and the additional expense that would have come with it.
He took the time to thoroughly explain all of my options, walking me through both the positives and negatives of each approach so I could make an informed decision about my care. I never felt rushed, and every question I had was answered clearly and honestly.
Dr. Tharesh Udupa was outstanding from start to finish. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy physician who truly cares about his patients, I highly recommend him. An amazing experience during a stressful time.
