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.

Dr Srikumaran has been empathetic and accommodating dealing with my torn rotator cuff and bad shoulder. He has helped me get through my pain while I must accommodate a six month wait until I can have surgery.
