Excellent.

National Jewish Health PatientMarch, 2023
Dr S is constantly personable, concerned, thorough. I have rarely had such positive interaction with a physician

National Jewish Health PatientMarch, 2023
Dr. Yarlagada is a fantastic doctor. I would recommend her to anyone needing a cardiologist.

National Jewish Health PatientFebruary, 2023
Dr. Yarlagadda is the best medical provider I have ever had the opportunity to see. She is always present, thoughtful in her responses, shares pertinent information in a way that any lay person can understand and most importantly, makes you feel like she is a true partner in your care. I can't say enough about what an extraordinary doctor she is and I have recommended at least 10 people to her in the past 18 months that she's been providing me with care.

National Jewish Health PatientJanuary, 2023
Dr. Yarlagadda didn't rush, and took the time to discuss all my questions and concerns

National Jewish Health PatientFebruary, 2022
Caring & helpful

National Jewish Health PatientFebruary, 2022
Dr. Yarlagadda barely listened to questions or observations I had. She was not listening to me at all, but simply explaining what was best for me. I didn't disagree with her at all, but there was no two way conversation. I honestly felt I had wasted her time.

National Jewish Health PatientFebruary, 2022
Dr. Yarlagadda was excellent. Clear explanations, listened and addressed all of my questions.
