He is a superb physician-surgeon whose surgical planning and programs are very well structured, easy to follow, and proven effective. His success rate is phenomenal and connected entities like home health and the hospital (Texas Health Arlington Memorial), sing his praises.

Nurse who came in after Dr to go over instructions, schedule surgery etc. Was also extremely down to earth, professional, thorough, and a pleasure to deal with.Nov 2023Provider spent about 5 maybe 10 minutes with me. Read my intake form, looked at XRay and MRI, looked at me and said he was not surprised to see this because of my age. Went on to say that he stopped offering surgery for my issue because he doesn't see the point in doing something that only has a 50% chance of working. Offered me water aerobic therapy. When I saw my after visit summary this provider LIED and falsified documentation stating many things like he did an assessment when he never touched me. Stated he explained in detail the surgical options when the truth is he made that choice for me in that he said he doesn't do surgery. Stated that I said I want to talk to my family about the options when I never said that. Offered me to pain management whatsoever. I'm [...] was disappointed in this. Imagine all those ghag are unable or lack the knowledge to advocate for themselves.Nov 2023Dr.Rapuri is excellent clinician and personable. I feel confident in his recommendations and instructions.Nov 2023GreatNov 2023Great
