I Liked Doctor Kakarlapudi. He was very kind nice and first impressions mean a lot. I really liked him. the girl that tried to take my blood, not such a great job. Then the other girl that was taking care of me, tried the other arm and got the needle in the first time and I never even felt it, but the other girl…….After two tries and no success, I was not very pleased plus bedside manner could’ve been a little bit better. I also wish the girls when they take your blood pressure and blood sugar would let you know what your numbers are. I had to ask each of them and didn’t wanna bother them, but really wanted to know, but they politely told me what it was so maybe in the future you might wanna let your patient know what their blood pressure is and blood sugar because it is a little nervous going in to get the procedure done. all in all it was a very positive experience. The doctor was very, very good. Will definitely go back to him in five years when it’s time for my next procedure.

He is an amazing Dr. He talks plain so I could understand what he was explaining instead of using big medical terms. Made me feel easy about seeing him. I have a Dr./ hospital phobia.

The very best in my opinion. Kind and thoughtful, and although he had to deliver frightening news to me, he was able to do it in a way that enabled me to feel that all was not lost and he was right, and I am well again. Thank you Dr Kakarlapudi!
