Patient Reviews
Jun 17, 2025
Dr. K diagnosed a double hernia and explained the procedure with a professional yet warm manner that made me feel comfortably at ease and confident that he was a great Doctor. Upon surgery he met before with with what we Finns call steely eyes that gave me assurance and a 100% belief that he was a serious Surgeon about to take care of me! I would say he is a wonderful dedicated Surgeon and Doctor. My surgery came our perfect, my recovery is going great, and I am getting back to normal and better day by day! Also, upon my follow up with Dr. K he explained what I can do and should not do in the way of exercises in recovery calmly and kindly. If you need surgery, Dr. K is a dedicated Doctor and Surgeon. You will feel the same I did when you meet him and he will take care of you and heal you. That is how I feel about Dr. Kokkalera.
