Jan 24, 2024
Went to the emergency department for abdominal pain. Turns out it was my appendix and needed to be removed. Dr. Kokkalera was my surgeon. Fantastic experience with him. He introduced himself to me before the surgery, checked on me after the surgery and then met him again for a follow-up appointment. Very professional and friendly. Thank you!
