Dr. Sallapudi grew up on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia. He moved to Tampa to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering at the University of South Florida, where he met his future wife Neetha, a Tampa native. Then he realized he had a strong interest in dentistry, and he attended and graduated from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry.

What an amazing office, and a fun experience! From Katie who walked me through all the paperwork and steps of what to expect, to Oksana who put my braces on, so gentle, caring, and super fast, also clean, and knowledgeable with answering any questions I threw at her! Dr. Salapuddi was so sweet and caring, and very precise! Overall just a great and positive experience! We laughed the entire time Definitely recommend!

New to the world of orthodontics and glad to have been referred to Dr. Sallapudi. Him and his staff are so pleasant and warming. I don't normally write reviews but they really wowed myself and my daughter. Not looking forward to getting her braces, when the time comes, but happy to know she's in good hands when we do!

Dr. Sallapudi and his entire staff are amazing! I've had 4 of my kids get their braces on there and it was a great experience. They are very knowledgeable and caring. The office staff worked with my insurance plan and stayed on top of the entire process. I highly recommend visiting their office for all your children's braces needs.

This is a terrific all-around practice with a knowledgeable staff and courteous, fun professionals. Both of my daughters have received treatment here, and each of them have raved about the entire group - from introductions at the front desk all the way through to meeting with Dr. Sallapudi himself. Their location is very easy to find, and they go out of their way to make each experience as informative, pleasant, and gentle as possible. Even through the pandemic, they've maintained positive interactions while safely treating each patient. I would gladly recommend them to anyone!

I've been coming to Dr. Sallapudi since I was a kid. He does incredible work and is always super helpful in answering any questions you may have. From the clinical assistants to the front desk staff, everyone on staff is so friendly and greets you with a big (perfectly straight) smile. Be sure to visit with Yolanda at the front desk, she'll make you feel like family every time you visit. These guys actually make getting braces an exciting experience!

The entire staff is very friendly and welcoming. I came in for a consult and Dr. Sallapudi was very comforting and reassuring without being pushy. Both of my nieces have had their braces applied and cared for by Dr. Sal, as well as their Mother and they are very pleased with their treatment. I highly recommend this office for anyone needing orthodontic care. It can be a scary experience but Dr. Sallapudi seems to care a great deal about his employees and his clients, and it really shows.
