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.

42 years ago on 9/16/1982 @ 11:08 p.m. I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl; however, she cane through the birth canal too fast and had no reflexes. At 2 am Dr. Kahala came to my room and told me her chances of surviving was 50/50. She stayed with me holding my hand until we found out that she would make it. On top of that she had told me it was also her husband's 40th birthday and she had thrown him a surprise party, but it was more important to be there with me. I have never forgotten her concern and kindness on my time of need. This was my first and only baby too so I was really scared. She made all the difference. I just love her!!

Dr. Kakarla saved my baby's life Jan 28, 2005 after her cord wrapped around her neck twice during labor. She was choking with every contraction. The nurse thought the monitor was just malfunctioning all afternoon and didn't see it as an emergency or alert the doctor. Dr Kakarla came in at the end of her shift in the office across the street, and hearing the sound, immediately gave sharp instructions to the nurse, then bent down and gently assured me that the baby would be okay, calling for an emergency cesaerean. Without her wisdom and instant action, we would not have the beautiful first-born girl who is a bright, intelligent, fun-loving, 19 year-old beauty today. Dr. Raj Kakarla, we will never be able to never thank you enough for saving our baby's life! Our next child also was delivered by Dr. Kakarla, Feb 20, 2007, also with complications. Dr. Raj was so comforting and knew just what to do. We are forever grateful! - The Vidal Family

Hire a new front staff or retrain them asap!
Staff is incompetent and not inviting. They lack decorum and professionalism. The front office continuously used profanity when speaking and didn’t have the decency to close the front window.
