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.

Excellence in Every Way
Dr. Kakkasseril exemplifies excellence in medicine. In an age of physicians who are rushed and slow to listen, Dr. Kakkasseril is thoughtful, thorough, and genuinely concerned for his patients. He restored my faith that there are still physicians who practice medicine as a calling and an art.I highly recommend him.

Delusional
Maybe he is good, but holy cow this guy thinks he's God. He brushed off a lot of my questions and made me feel very stupid. He seemed to want to show how smart he was rather than help me. I won't be returning.

Dr PK is awesome ! He truly cares about his patients and is a wonderful interventionslist. He saved my Mom’s leg. She had a necrotic area on her toe and he did an intervention in the cath lab at Mercy Health and she went home the next day. Healed great. She followed up and about 1.5 years later, her circulation got bad again and he went back in and opened her circulation up. She’s doing great ! I’ m thankful for PK’s skill and expertise ! Mercy Health is lucky to have him on staff

Dr "PK" treated 92 year-old with leg and abdominal vascular problems through vascular surgery at St Elizabeth (Mercy) in Youngstown, OH. He was wonderful and we would highly recommend him.. He was highly recommended by other excellent doctors in the Youngstown area. Outcome of surgery was better than expected. His warm and friendly "bedside manner" manner eased the fears of the procedure. He took his time to explain to me and my family all aspects of treatment and after-care needs.

I would like to tell PK thank you so much with all my heart, because he did everything possible he could for my son Anthony Girardi. Thank you for being the best surgeon for many people, especially Anthony. Is there anyway Dr. Kakkasseril can help Anthony get into hillside for rehab, he is in a really bad facility called White Oak Manor in warren. Please help me if you can. My neice is a registered nurse for Vibra in Warren but they will not accept him there. Call me if you can help. Thanks
