I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Sirisha Routhu. She is not only highly skilled but also incredibly compassionate. She took the time to explain my condition in detail and made sure I understood every step of the treatment process. Her expertise in minimally invasive surgery ensured a quick recovery with minimal pain. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of surgical care.
