Dr. Elluru and his staff could not have been kinder or more professional . They answered all of my questions and concerns before the surgery and were available and responsive following my surgery. I am pleased with the results so far as I continue on my healing journey.

Christy was great to work with. I had a lot of questions and she was patient. I received the answers I was seeking in a timely manner and in depth. Dr. Elluru has a great bedside manner and did a great job. He took the time to explain in detail the entire procedure and healing process. I was impressed that I was given 2 types of natural vitamins so assist with the swelling/bruising. I am still taking as I truly believe the vitamins assisted greatly in the healing process. When the bandages came off, I initially had doubts seeing the stitches, swelling, and bruises. Dr. Elluru was all smiles and assured me everything would heal and I would be happy with the results. Well, he exceeded my expectations. I trusted the process and him. I am 9 weeks post op and the scars continue to heal and I am almost back to "normal".

The Doctor is great, has a lot of experience and a good bedside manner. The staff (nurses and doctors) at the surgical center were great. The management messed up The schedule and we were there very early in the morning but no one was there yet and we waited an hour.

The Dr. could not have been nicer. He examined me and let me know that what I was asking for was not outside a normal ask and calmed the fears I began to have as the result of a prior consultation.
