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.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lakkireddy for a little over two years. I have been treated with professionalism and informed of medical options and cardiac procedures. After three procedures including insertion of a CRT-D, I feel great, have all but eliminated Afib and reduced PVC's to less than 1% of the time. Very thankful and appreciative.

excellent physician and surgeon
After several months of testing and procedures, Dr. Lakkireddy got to the bottom of and fixed my heart issue to the extent possible. He (and/or his team) explained everything well and answered all my questions. An excellent physician and surgeon.

Dr. Lakkireddy is an outstanding heart doctor.
Before my visit with Dr. Lakkireddy, I went to a heart doctor in Wichita. I messed around with them for two years, while experiencing severe Atrial Fibrillation. I underwent an ablation and literally had no improvement. On my first visit to Dr. Lakkireddy, he looked over my records, symptoms, etc. and after some discussion he looked at me and said I will fix you. To make a long story shorter, he did. He completed an ablation as well, spent far more time in surgery room completing the procedure than earlier doctor but he fixed my heart. I had an enlarged chamber which has now become more normal and only had one heart beat irregularity in a year and a half and that was during an MRI for another problem, when I got concerned about a heart monitor problem. Dr. Lakkireddy is now my primary heart doctor and I have complete faith in him and have recommended him to many friends. I feel like I may have not been around now if I wouldn't have started seeing him.

Thank you for the kind rating, Mr. Blakeman.

Fortunately Dr. Lakkireddy was recommended and he was willing to take my case right away. I had been in intensive care as my heart irregularity couldn't be controlled thru medication or cardioversion. He performed the ablation December 23, 2019. Prior to the procedure everything was explained thoroughly regarding procedure, risk, etc. I had complete confidence and have been rewarded with excellent care, also by his staff and the hospital. I would highly recommend Dr. Lakkireddy, not only for his medical expertise, but for the all around care I am receiving.

My first office visit included Dr. Lakkireddy drawing on a white board to present to me exactly what was happening with my heart. He shared with me and my wife knowledge about my condition so that we could intelligently make decisions. We also received wonderful care at Overland Park Regional Medical Center for my pre tests as well as my heart procedure. My wife and I are retired nurses and do not live in this community. We were apprehensive about coming to an unknown hospital with unfamiliar physicians and nurses. Both I and my wife were kept informed of each step during my procedure. Before, during and after my heart procedure I have had my questions answered in person or by phone as well as through my health portal. I like being able to see all of my health data and test results on my health portal and can then be able to share that information with my other physicians by using my phone. I would highly recommend this office as well as the hospital for great cardiac care.

I was referred to Dr. Lakkireddy to explore the reasons for my long term persistent atrial fibrillation and to determine the proper treatment. Prescribed medications from other doctors over a long period of time had not effectively controlled my afib. After testing and screening it was determined that a heart ablation was warranted in my situation. Dr. Lakkireddy performed the procedure and the results have been amazing. My heart is now in rhythm and I'm no longer taking heart rhythm medication and blood thinners. This has been a life changing event for me after experiencing afib for at least 18 years. My very strong recommendation to Dr. Lakkireddy and his entire staff. I was treated with great skill, care, kindness and professionalism.

Great after my surgery. Going to Dr Lakkireddy was one of my best decisions. I am a year out and feel great at almost 78. In addition I had my oldest son in to see Dr Lakkireddy and a result he too is feeling a lot better. All thanks to Dr Lakkeriddy and his excellent staff.

I was a patient of Dr. Lakkireddy when he was at KU Med Center. I received excellent care from him and his team at that time. It was necessary for me to see him again and I have received excellent care and support from him and his staff. The new office facilities are amazing. He takes time to explain everything and I would recommend to any one needing his services.

Dr. Lakkireddy performed a cardiac ablation to cure my atrial fibrillation. The procedure was a success. Dr. Lakkireddy always spent plenty of time at my appointments to thoroughly explain his treatment of me, his concerns and patiently answered every question I had. He is a breath of fresh air in a profession filled with arrogant doctors who seem more interested in moving patients quickly through exam rooms quickly than in caring for them. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Lakkireddy.
