I was referred to Dr Kundavaram after being diagnosed with prostate cancer as a second opinion. My original doctor recommended radiation because of the size of my prostate but I was interested in surgery. He sat with me honestly and explained all of the pluses and minuses of surgery. I felt comfortable knowing he would take good care of me and I felt confident in his ability after talking it through with him and decided to do surgery. Surgery went great. I left the hospital the next day without too much pain. The catheter was annoying but expected. I found out that all the cancer was removed! I am now recovering and getting better thanks to his care and skills. I highly recommend him if you need a urologist! -WL

I would recommend Dr K. He takes time to listen. He explains things. He did a great job on my surgery. And he really seems to care about me and how I do.

I’m a patient of Dr Kundavaram’s. I highly recommend his services. He expertly performed surgery on my kidney tumor. Luckily, he was able to save the rest of my kidney, after another doctor told me it was not possible to save it. His skills allowed me to leave the hospital the next day. He was great about answering my questions. He genuinely cares about his patients. See him if you have a urologic problem!

I was referred to Dr. K for worsening urinary issues. He took time to listen to my issues. He was thorough in evaluating the problem and gave me multiple options. I didnt feel pressured at all. I decided to have a surgery and it was smooth. Problems solved. I was extremely impressed and happy with each step of the process. I highly recommend Dr. K if you need to see a urologist.

The experience with Dr C. Kundavaram on left kidney, partial nephrectomy by robotic surgery was excellent, with minimal discomfort. A suspected small renal cell carcinoma was negative. Dr. Kundavaram is the best.

Dr. --K-- is simply amazing! From my first visit when I was referred for a kidney tumor, through the testing, surgery, and follow up visits I could not be more happy. He performed my surgery using a robot and small incisions. He was able to expertly remove only the tumor and save the rest of the kidney (previous doctor said I would need the whole kidney removed). I was out of the hospital the next day! My follow up tests show that I am cancer free and I feel great! I will admit, that you may wait a bit to be seen. But, he is very thorough and when you see him he spends all the time you need answering questions and explaining the plan. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a urologist!

Dr. Kundavaram is great! He was able to remove a large kidney stone from a very difficult location. Many prior procedures had failed to do so. Hes very easy to talk to and very thorough. I highly recommend him.

I would recommend Dr Kundavaram to anyone that needs a urologist. He found an abnormality during an exam of my prostate and then he performed a biopsy which found cancer. I was distraught over the diagnosis. He went over all of the options and I decided to go with robotic surgery to remove my prostate and lymph nodes. He performed the surgery and I was home in less than 24 hours. I only took one pain pill. Most importantly, all of the cancer was removed! I have healed well and Im back to normal. I believe I have his skills to thank for this! See him if you have an issue you will not regret it.

Dr Kundavaram restored my life. I’d had a ureter stent for 5 years requiring replacement. Every 2-3 months. Following the 13th surgery I knew it was past time I have surgery. I was referred to Dr Kundavaram and knew immediately I was in good hands. He’s so kind and took time to let me know what was ahead for me. The surgery was performed over a year ago, and I’ve had no problems since. I still see him every six months to make sure all is well. I will be eternally grateful to him, and would highly recommend him to anyone who is undecided on the surgery. Dr K is the best, so don’t hesitate to have it done. It can restore your life as welll.

With a high PSA score and a referral from my PCP, I met with Dr. Kundavaram in early 2016 to discuss the score, likelihood of prostate cancer, and treatment options. With all of the knowledge, professionalism and compassion one would expect from any doctor, I found Dr. Kundavaram exceeded my expectations in every way. From diagnosis, testing, biopsies, explanations of treatment options,, and ultimately a prostatectomy, I was completely at ease knowing a highly trained and skilled professional urologic surgeon had my back. If you are seeking the best urologist to deal with this type of diagnosis, you will not regret meeting with Dr. Kundavaram and his team of professional medical assistants - especially Isabell. Shes a pro. They all are. ---- Gary Green, Glendale, AZ

Relocated from New York and had difficulty finding an Urologist who took interest in my care. Dr. Kundavaram provided precise medical attention and made me feel comfortable. I highly recommend him.

"Doctor didn’t talk to me after my procedure nor did he call me. I ended up going to ER that same day because he did put in a catheter or a stent. I was in so much pain and could have had a bladder eruption. He called my wife and said he had unfortunate news but was supposed to talk to me and still has not. "

Dr. Kundavaram was great prior to the removal of my kidney, however, after surgery he seemed annoyed that I had concerns, and that I was in more pain the second week than the first week. After my two week follow-up the next follow-up visit was three months later. During that time I saw another doctor for an unrelated problem that required I take prednisone. Since Dr. K. had taken my adrenal gland out (found that out at my two week follow-up) with the kidney and I was unsure if I should take it. I left two messages with his staff and never heard back from them until this week when he reviewd my four week old blood work and realized I cancelled my appointment. Obviously theyre not concerned about their patients. Ill follow-up with another doctor.
