About Giridhar Andhavarapu

About The Provider

Dr. Andhavarapu, known as “Dr. Dhar” to his patients and their families, has a special appreciation for how hard it is for parents to see their children sick or hurting. He is dedicated to preventative care and helping his young patients manage common ailments and chronic health conditions effectively. He has a special interest in allergies, asthma and weight problems.
Dr. Dhar enjoys living in the Central Valley because of its size - “not too big, not too small” – and easy access to metropolitan areas and his extended family. He and his family also enjoy the friendliness of the community and remember how welcome they felt when they first moved to the Valley.

        Dr Dhar, does not explain diagnosis. It's a guessing game when I have to take my kids to him when their provider is not available

        He did great at answering my questions but he seemed to get defensive when I would ask certain things. When I was trying to get more information he didn't seem like he wanted to help and told me to ask the pharmacist when I get the prescription

        Dr Giridhar was wonderful. So helpful and again he squeezed me in when I didn't have an appointment because I was concerned for my daughter. He has always been kind and answered any silly or not silly questions my husband or I asked. He's so kind and patient. So grateful for my daughter to be in his care.

        He barely showed any care. It wasn't just this appointment when my oldest was diagnosed adhd he only asked about what meds to put him on and didn't give me any advice on anything
