“I am a board certified oral and maxillo facial surgeon practicing in orchid Virginia. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Chennupati over 6 years ago and we used to work in the same office. And I have to say he is not only a great dentist but also a knowledgeable and caring doctor.

When it comes to ethics, and values it is exemplary and the thing to admire is that he is very family oriented, and always thinks of others.
