4.0 star star star star star_borderHe’s not easy to understand verbally and just like most of the Doctors staff doesn’t seem that he’s concerned for the patients cost. He wants what he wants no matter. It seems he gets a little frustrated when you question some of his actions.

5.0 star star star star starDr. John Kalapurakal is a great instructor to me since I am very inquisitive with many questions and wanting to know much. He gives me the time to answer questoins from not only the treatment perspective but from the quality control process so there are no errors in the treatment. He is forward thinking so much he already had a white paper addressing quality control for the safety of his patients. He graciously shared his paper with me.
