Patient Reviews
Aug 30, 2016
He was a very good surgeon and provided a high level of care for me, throughout my heart procedure. He was direct, to the point and very thorough, a trait a greatly appreciated in my cardiac surgeon. He got me through a long and protracted procedure and I have made a full and strong recovery. I would recommend him.

About Me
Care Philosophy
- Christopher Komanapalli, MD has been practicing with The Iowa Clinic since 2012. Dr. Komanapalli is a Central Iowa Cardiovascular Co-Management Board Member, Iowa Methodist Medical Center Surgical Co-Management Member, and Associate Clinical Professor at University of Iowa. During medical school, a seasoned pediatric surgeon insisted Dr. Komanapalli become a surgeon though at the time he was pursuing primary care. Given the doctor was a world-famous pediatric surgeon, Dr. Komanapalli took his advice and spent time in multiple surgical disciplines. One day after a heart transplant, Dr. Komanapalli held the old heart in his hands. While it was still quivering he remembers saying, “I can never say no to you for the rest of my life,” and so he became a heart surgeon. For Dr. Komanapalli, there is nothing more rewarding than taking sick patients who are at imminent risk of dying and making them better. Outside of surgery, Dr. Komanapalli enjoys spending time with his amazing wife and their lovely four children: one in high school, two in elementary, and one at home.
