I have been a patient of Doctor Varanasi for about five years now, she has an amazing doctor. She answers your questions. She helps. You understand your conditions. If you have questions she answers them. If she doesn't know the answer she will look it up and go find the answer for you and get back to you on it, i've had had high blood pressure doctors that I had didn't know what to do and it took her 18 months, but my blood pressure is way down due to her, also, it doesn't matter what time of the day it is at the office is closed after 5:30 6 o'clock and you have a question and you don't understand you can call her. She takes her own patient on patient calls, about a month ago my Pharmacy was giving me trouble not wanting to release my pain medication and I wasn't understanding what they were saying so I called the clinic up north and they said we will pass the message along to Doctor. Varanasi no one ever called me back so I called the clinic around 5:30 in the evening. Left a message to ask her to call me back. She called me two hours later. Explain the situation and like I said she's just an amazing doctor. She's an amazing woman very smart Doctor. I trust her with my medical care and I'm glad that she's my doctor and she's gonna continue to be my doctor if you're looking for a hypertension specialist/nephrologist she's the one.
