Dr. V. Vasu Kakarlapudi, M.D., grew up in Kansas City and received his B.A. in Biology and an M.D. in 1998 (graduation of B.A. and M.D. with distinction) from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. Dr. Kakarlapudi was accepted to medical school directly from high school and graduated at the top of his medical school class. He was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society and the Phi Kappa Phi Honors Society and placed first in the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine Research Days. He completed his internship in general surgery in 1999 and his residency in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery in 2003 from the University of Maryland Medical Center. In 2009, Dr. Kakarlapudi earned an MBA in entrepreneurship from the University of Louisville. His vision of developing a comprehensive ENT and Allergy practice along with his leadership skills were instrumental in the formation of Advanced ENT & Allergy.
Dr. Kakarlapudi is board-certified in adult and pediatric otolaryngology and facial plastic surgery by the American Board of Otolaryngology. In 2013, Dr. Kakarlapudi successfully passed his Board Recertification as recommended by the American Academy of Otolaryngology. He is one of four ENT doctors in the area who have earned the fellow status of the American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy—given his expertise in managing allergic problems in the head and neck. Dr. Kakarlapudi has a passion for incorporating the latest and most cost-effective treatments for ear, nose, and throat disorders. Dr. Kakarlapudi, along with another Advanced ENT & Allergy partner, was one of the first in the Louisville area to perform balloon sinuplasty. Dr. Kakarlapudi has expertise in the medical and surgical treatment of sinus and allergy problems; pediatric ENT problems; obstructive sleep apnea; and thyroid and parathyroid diseases. In his free time, he runs, plays tennis, and enjoys time with his wife and two young children.
In following Dr. Kakarlapudi’s interest in cost-effective solutions to common ENT problems like breathing, sinus infections, and snoring, he has incorporated the latest high-tech solutions that can be done in the office to help you breathe and sleep better and reduce your sinus symptoms. These include balloon sinuplasty, in-office turbinate reduction, VIVAER, and Pillar implants.

Poor bedside manner. I had to explain several times why I did not feel that a recommended treatment was best for me before he was willing to give alternate options. I felt uncomfortable and that the interaction was overly combative. He poorly explained what he thought the diagnosis was as well, and actually never confirmed whether he agreed with my primary care doctor’s original diagnosis. I felt rushed and that he just wanted to get to the next patient. Overall a very negative experience.
I was in a lot of pain from a swollen gland and he did an excellent job of relieving the pain and inflammation. Highly recommend
Dr. K gave me lots of things to do to help my situation. Very kind.
Dr. K is amazing and his staff is excellent and dedicated to customer service.
Doctor was attentive and listened. Thorough exam and provided a plan to help me get better. Highly recommend.
On time and quick procedure. The voice appointment making is an ordeal.
Excellent doctor. Very knowledgeable
Very professional. Very thorough
He wasn't very nice, he rushed me, didn't really listen to what was going on or my concerns.
He’s always very helpful with all my concerns
