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.

He is excellent in skills, empathy and medical knowledge. Highly recommend!

I had to have my kidney removed due to an error by a Dr in Springfield MO that damaged my right kidney. When I was referred to Dr Pokala he looked at repair V removal and decided removal was our best path! I had complete confidence and faith that he would take care of me and he did! I am 3 weeks post OP and doing great! Also his whole staff has great confidence in him and continually reassure you that your in great hands!
