    Dr. Uma is an excellent surgeon both in terms of surgery as well as follow-up visits. I could tell that the surgery was done superbly by how my shoulder felt in the couple of days after surgery. I was also able to ask him a question by phone immediately after surgery. He saw me on time at all appointments, and also ordered an MRI & an anti-inflammatory steroid when I had fallen during the recovery period.

    Dr Srikumaran is a world class surgeon. My visit on 5/19 was the concluding visit for the right arm rotator cuff surgery. I have excellent range of motion same as prior to my surgery (I have the function to reach my back, which my Physio Therapist said Is not easy) and I am so happy with the entire outcome. This was an intricate surgery and I cannot stop marveling at how well it turned out.
