Dr. Poudel is a great Rheumatologist. He was so caring and knowledgeable.

Dr Poudel is very thorough. He spent time going over everything from my symptoms to my medications. He answered all my questions. What I like most about him is I always leave feeling like someone actually cared and is taking me seriously. Oh and did I mention that he's actually treating my condition and I'm starting to feel better? Well I am. He's great.

Listened well and also recorded conversation, performed thorough exam, asked questions relevant to my specific issues and didn't generalize; kind patient and compassionate

He listens to me and takes the time to explain things to me. Not only does he listens but he seems to genuinely care. I greatly appreciate it because I have had so many previous doctors just not care.

Doctor is caring and interested in patient's health. The patient always feels heard.

I have to see this doctor because my insurance says so but I have worked with doctors my whole career and this dr he just won't make a real difference or decisions about my health! He tell I have one illness and now I have a different one and he's sending me to a different doctor because I feel he doesn't want to be my dr in the first place. I'm hoping the new dr at vandy will help me because I've had two hospital visits and I've been sick for since September. I'm hoping we are on the right track here. I'm just limited by my insurance which is Medicaid. He's a nice person but a wishy washy doctor. It's so frustrating! And it's not helping my health either!!!

He was amazing. He was looking at studies and research during my appointment related to my concerns and took all the time I need to explain things and what he was thinking. I truly felt part of my care team.

I'm always grateful for Dr. Poudel's care and input. There are a couple questions I feel like I can't get answers to, but he is always kind and does what he can to make me feel comfortable and taken care of.
