Kakkis Medical Group

Dr. Kakkis is a wonderful doctor who always takes the extra time to make sure I’m getting what I need for my health. She follows standard health recommendations for tests and procedures and is careful to check on insurance costs to avoid causing unnecessary charges to her patients. For example, for my yearly she double checked if I was getting blood work done elsewhere (I am through a work program for free) and made sure not to have that work done again at my expense. And she is attentive to my medication concerns. She is always willing to listen to my own desires with my birth control while working with me to find the formula that will be most effective.
Absolutely, I recommend making an appointment with Dr. Kakkis. She makes what can be an uncomfortable appointment so quick and efficient you hardly realize you’ve been there at all.

I have been seeing Dr Kakkis for (literally) decades. My mom, who is also a patient, first brought me to her office when I was a teenager.
She is always friendly and professional and her staff is very nice.

Dr Kakkis and her staff are the best. Dr Kakkis is to thorough and professional. She is the ONLY doctor that caught on to my thyroid problem, even though I was having my thyroid checked by my regular doctor. She did the same for my mom as well. I had no idea that hypothryodism is so common in women and yet missed by many doctors. This may seem odd to put in a review for an OBGYN, but turns out your thyroid can even affect you fertility.
My mom, my sister and I all use Dr Kakkis and have now for years. I cannot say enough good things about her and her staff. They are friendly, accommodating, and thorough. I will be a patient of her for years to come.

Dr. Kakkis and her staff are AWESOME, hurry up and make an appointment already!

So it was time. Actually, it was past time… I was overdue for my first «womanly doctor visit». I called my insurance and they gave me a few names of different doctors in the area. Of course, I went to Unilocal,and Dr. Kakkis was rated very high. However, I was still hesitant.
I called her office after much procrastination, and a very pleasant woman answered the phone. She didn’t laugh at me or make me feel awkward about scheduling my first pap at age 23, so I was put at ease already. She was also very helpful with explaining everything about my insurance and forms. Dr. Kakkis was booked out for about two weeks. I’m not sure if that’s a long time or not, but it worked for me. I’m also pretty sure the lady said Dr. Kakkis only works mornings, maybe Mon-​Thu? Don’t quote me on that.
So appointment day comes, and I’m super scared. The I sign in and the receptionist asks how I am doing. She then takes my paperwork and has me sign some paper, now referring to me by my first name… something so small that really stood out to me. She was so nice! I waited about 5 minutes in the waiting room.
Now I go to get my blood pressure and blood taken. Nothing too spectacular, but the lady who did this for me was very friendly and made me feel comfortable.
So now I’m in the room… you know, THE room. However, the lady who drew my blood told me that Dr. Kakkis would want to talk to me before the exam since I was a new patient. Dr. Kakkis comes in a couple minutes later and we discuss my health and the questions I had. Dr. Kakkis was very concerned about the lack of testing that was done by my primary care doctor, so she ordered more tests to be done. She was very thorough and wanted to help me. She also wrote me some prescriptions to help some problems I’d been having. She was very educated on all of the questions I asked her, and she is so confident that I couldn’t help but trust her. She’s nice, not so much in a sweet way, more of an upfront, direct way, if that makes any sense. She’s got a little bit of dry humor in her, too. I like her :)
So now she explains how to dress in the gown, and she leaves the room. I do as she told me and she comes back… and the exam, literally, took under a minute, maybe even significantly less. She said that if I go somewhere else, not to expect such a gentle and quick exam. Well, I hope my insurance continues to cover her practice, because I’m not going anywhere else for awhile.
I got some blood draw afterwards by another lady, and she was very friendly, as well… and then the check out lady was nice, too! Geeze, Dr. Kakkis and her staff are all 5 stars. Seriously, I had a great first experience and while it is a bit uncomfortable to think about, the actual visit went very smoothly. Thank you Unilocalers and thank you Dr. Kakkis and staff!

Dr Kakkis is simply one of the best doctors I have ever seen. She has guided me through menopause difficulties, cysts, strange blood work, and even gave me advice as to how to deal with gall bladder problems. Everything bit of guidance and medical advice she has given was right on the money. I have referred others to Dr Kakkis, and I recommend her without hesitation.

I was referred and the Unilocaled Dr. K, and boy oh boy was I impressed. The staff is very professional and really quite nice.
First, I love the fact that she is not OVERBOOKED so you don’t wait long, they can take blood, do an ultrasound and even a bone density test in her office!!! That alone is a five star!!! Dr K, is professional and to the point. She wanted to do a different ultrasound of a polyps that she saw and from my ex gyno who did surgery twice on thid fibroid, which turns out to be something totally different. Dr K is a no bs type who

I was not impressed with Dr. Kakkis. As a first time patient, she did not introduce herself to me, nor make me feel welcome. The exam was not as thorough as I have had with other gynecologists. After some testing, with confidential and delicate information, she had one of her secretaries call me to deliver bad news. I felt this to be very unprofessional. When further testing was needed, she referred me out. If after examination you should need further care, you will have to go to a new gynecologist, and begin another relationship with someone else. This is highly inconvenient and I am sorry I wasted my time and money with this Dr.

I found Dr. Kakkis through Unilocal! (thank you, fellow Unilocalers!) because I was looking for an OBGYN who I could go to with my new insurance. Overall, I’d say the experience is 4 stars. I would go back – if my insurance wasn’t going to change again and prevent it.
Dr. Kakkis herself was nice, and extremely quick. In fact, I’m not sure what kind of exam she did because she was probably in the room with me for 2 minutes total. It was unlike other exams I have had and felt much less thorough. However, I am assuming she did everything she needed to do and I sure did appreciate the speed – it was just a bit unusual. She also suggested I get bloodwork done because I guess at my age they begin to look for things like high cholesterol, etc… I am a big baby and always decline unless they want to force me to get blood drawn (I’ve never been told it was a necessity)… she let me know why she suggested it, but did not make me do it, which I appreciated.
All this was 5 stars, but unfortunately I have to deduct a star for the way in which my new prescription was handled. My mistake – because I had a new insurance, I went in WITHOUT the form I needed to send the Rx to the mail order pharmacy on my insurance. I also forgot to ask for a 3 month supply so the mail order pharmacy would accept it. Whoops, my bad. So I called back the next day to request the 3 month supply, and also asked that they just fax the Rx to my pharmacy to speed up the process (I went in about 2 weeks before I needed the Rx filled, but it takes time with mail order). The receptionist told me they could not fax it in because it was a new prescription. I let her know that I was HOLDING the form that they needed to fax in, with a barcode and everything, that proves the doctor CAN fax in a new Rx to the pharmacy. The receptionist then told me they couldn’t do it because I was a new patient. Regardless, they wouldn’t do it, so I was forced to pick up and OVERNIGHT MAIL (Hello $ 25!) my Rx to HOPE that it would get to the processing center in Florida soon enough for me to get my Rx on time. Luckily the mail-​order pharmacy was fast, but the extra day (and $$!!) it took me because they wouldn’t fax it in was more than a headache, it was also a major source of stress because one extra day pushed me back to where I actually could have feasibly NOT received my Rx on time. It was frustrating, and made no sense.
Overall though, the experience was good and the receptionist was actually nice… just misinformed. If you are looking for an OBGYN, I would feel comfortable recommending Dr. Kakkis.

Dr. Kakkis and her entire staff are simply the best! Enough said!
