      Dr. Srikumaran spoke to me in a very professional attitude and explained to me all the details of the surgical procedure. At the day of the surgical procedure he approached me in a very compassionate attitude telling me that there was not to worry about. Upon discharge Dr Srikumaran provided me with his cell phone number to call him in case of emergency or questions. He called me home the day after my surgery to assure that everything was fine with me
