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.

Great care!
My husband has been seeing Dr K for several years. She always takes time to answer our questions and even laughs at my husbands silly jokes! Very personable and caring!

Knowledgeable. Caring. Professional.
Since moving to Texas, I have been under Dr Hema’s care. I couldn’t ask for better, more thorough care.

Amazing Cardiologist who cares!
Dr. Korlakunta saved my Mother's life 8 years ago and continued to care for her until she passed earlier this year. My Mother would have been 80 this year. She is one of the most caring and loving doctors I have ever met. My entire family, including my Mom, are & were her biggest fans.

I have very high regard for her skill to diagnose and treat heart problems. She has treated both me and my wife. We are both pleased with her. I would recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Korlakunta is one of the most kind, caring and competent physicians I have ever had! She spends time with you, helps you understand your condition and answers all your questions. She uses a collaborative approach and listens well to your concerns. I can't say enough about how much I appreciate her approach to treating patients. I give her the highest rating and if there were 10 stars I would give her that rating.

I was SHOCKED to read some the negative comments given Dr. K! My experience was totally AWESOME! Her staff is great, and Dr. K always takes time with me, very friendly, professional and is extremely caring. She basically saved my life in the ER and I continue seeing her to monitor my health. I understand everyone has a right to their own opinion, but felt I needed to give mine (something I rarely do online)!

Think twice before selecting this doctor. She assumes that a patient understands the complex language of health care which results in miscommunication and eventually lack of trust. A lack of trust in her care should be enough to seek another provider. She and her staff are insensitive and condesending towards those who do not comprehend 'medical jargon'. She lacks the simple ability to offer care and compassion when her patients need it most.

Our experience with Dr Korlakunta was terrible. I would never recommend her to anyone. Highly unprofessional, rude, and actually dangerous with misdiagnosis and incorrect prescriptions. Avoid her at all costs.

I saw this doctor for the first time yesterday. She was extremely patient and answered all of my questions. Their office is checking with my insurance and getting back to me about further tests that are required. Typically, this is something I've had to do the footwork on, so that is appreciated.

Her bedside manner is poor. Her attitude is poor. When asked questions she is very impatient-poor attitude regarding family memebers questions as well. She is more intersted in getting paid when she is on call at the hospital while making rounds in the emergency room. She made a statement that reflected the above. If your loved one is diagnosed with a condition you know nothing about I would not recommend this doctor.
