Dr. Kakarla diagnosed my issue, presented me with surgical solutions and options. After one year of severe pain and years of spinal issues, one year after my surgery I am doing so well. The surgery was a success. I am so grateful to Dr. Kakarla and his expertise.

Dr. Kakarla is highly skilled, straightforward, and efficient. I appreciated the no-nonsense approach and clear communication. My surgery went smoothly, and my recovery has been better than expected. I’d confidently recommend him to anyone needing a neurosurgeon.
