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. Kakarala listened to me when I felt hopeless. She is kind and responsive. I really felt cared for, and she addressed all of my concerns. She correctly diagnosed something I have been struggling with for 15 years that was misdiagnosed by multiple other doctors.

I was very well taken care of at Dr.Kakarala as my primary care physician.She was very loving, and it is nice to be treated well by her. She is caring, thoughtful and put me at complete ease. Kakarala is also a very good listener and treated me as if I was a family member. She was also available to answer questions and help in any way. I surely recommend her to everyone out there.

I have been seeing Dr Kakarala as my primary care physician for YEARS and can honestly say she is the most disciplined, articulate, accurate, caring doctor I have ever had...She knows me, my needs, and makes sure that my health care is her top priority.. There has never been a time where I felt that the care I have received from her has ever been less then perfect..I have read a negative post about her, and all I can say is its fake....I also heard that immediately after this fake review was posted, she was solicited by a company that for MONEY would post as many good reviews that she wanted, making me believe that she was given this negative review, only to have that individual/company make money, almost as if it were blackmail. I have heard about these companies in the past, and its so sad that a perfect care provider as she is, can be blackmailed in order to keep her perfect name from being soiled by such an unscrupulous individual or company. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Kakarala.

Dr. Kakarala is a phenomenal doctor. She is kind, communicative, knowledgeable, and above all empathetic. She will spend as much time with you as you need to address all of your concerns. I went into my appointment full of anxiety over what I was seeing her for and I left feeling calm and heard. She is an advocate for her patients and an invaluable resource.

Dr Kakarala has provided care for both my husband and I. We were more than thrilled when we found she had joined this office. She has always been very concerned with our health and quality of life. I truly could have not made it through my husbands illness with out her support and concern and willingness to fight for his health. She has always explained meds and tests to our comfort and focused on what we could do to increase our own health. I am thrilled with her care and concern for her pts.

Dr. Kakarala listens better than any other Dr. I have seen. She is extremely compassionate and tries to come up with practical solutions for health problems you are experiencing. She always explains the reasoning behind why she believes a certain option is a reasonable choice. I have many allergies and have had negative experiences with certain medications. Dr. Kakarala is always able to work around this issue and come up with alternative options.

Prior to being under the care of Dr. K, I spent over three decades under the care of our family doctor. While we still hold our previous MD under the highest regard, he happened to relocate, Dr. Kakarala has been fantastic. She attends to her patients, without an eye on the clock, and has great listening skills. Dr. K explains one's health in a language that normal people understand. While caring, she is not afraid to tell you how you may be contributing to your own poor health. She is great

I am so grateful to have such a knowledgeable and thorough primary physician in Dr. Kakarala. She is very compassionate also, but I value her knowledge and always leave feeling that my needs are heard and met. Issues that I have come with a conversation of why she makes her recommendations and provides me with a better understanding of my situation. You would be wise to seek out Dr. Kakarala if you are looking for a provider in the Grand Rapids area.
