Didn't go over the Ear Pressure Test nor the Heating Test/ I thought He Should have.
Feb-2025
I was happy with how efficiently the doctors and nurses worked together to get me through the process of evaluating all of my hearing needs.
Feb-2025
I have been one of his patients for several years. My daughters and mother are also his patients. Dr. K is always calm and reassuring. He explains the situation very well, and lays out the next several steps needed for the problem clearly. If there are still unanswered questions he will quickly refer you to an additional specialist.

Was given ladican in nose for a probe. Had to wait so long for the doctor to come in for exam that the numbing had worn off and procedure was painful.

Dr. Kakarlapudi listened to my concerns and created a care plan for the future to continue working together. I look forward to continuing my care plan together as he was empathetic, kind, and knowledgeable.
