Patient Reviews
Mar 03, 2023
My primary care Dr recommended that I consult with Dr Kokkalera about hernia repair. He confirmed I needed the surgery and explained how it would be done. He was able to perform the preferred robotic surgery. It went well and two weeks later after my follow-up I feel no more pain where the hernia was and rapidly diminishing sensation that anything was done in the overall abdominal area. They sent me home with clear post-op instructions. Staff was friendly and helpful. Dr. Kokkalera did a good job and I would recommend him for hernia surgery.
