Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Lakkadi
Dr. Lakkadi is very dedicated and wants to determine what is causing your pain and what he can do to ease or eliminate your pain. He determined the cause of my very difficult pain condition and was dedicated to easing and/or eliminating my pain. I went from a pain scale of 9-10 on a scale of 10 to a 2. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone suffering from chronic pain.

Dr. Lakkadi's treatment has allowed me to function. He delivers steroid injections into my spine to reduce the excruciating neuropathy in my feet and leg. I am offered a sedative, which I've accepted once, but truthfully, getting the IV for the sedative and getting the injection are about the same trouble and pain, so I skip it. He has always been courteous and respectful.

To the person who c/o no follow up care after the procedure. As a Recovery Room nurse who cares for post-procedure patients - Both Dr. Lakkadi and the R.R. nurses tell you to call his office (or your Orthopedist) and report your results which will then dictate your follow up needs.

Did not think that the Dr. Knew who I was. He kept calling me Mrs. Wyatt. So I'm not sure if he was even looking at the right medical results.

Dr Lakkadi is fine Dr. but I am disappointed that I felt there was no aftercare after spinal injection. No well check, no follow up. So of course I felt neglected. Two months later and still no follow up. Voicemails never returned, calls made when I've reached someone do not get resolved, nor followed up on. So once again I've felt neglected.
