How likely are you to recommend Dr. Umapathi?
Having undergone a total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis performed by Dr. Bindu Umapathi, I am compelled to share my exceptional experience. Dr. Umapathi's expertise in colorectal surgery is undeniably brilliant, but it's her compassionate approach that truly sets her apart. As a member of the LGBT community, I found her understanding of our specific health concerns and needs to be deeply reassuring. She provided comprehensive care that addressed all aspects of my well-being, ensuring that my lifestyle post-surgery would be as fulfilling as possible. It's rare to find a surgeon who combines such high-level medical skills with a genuine sensitivity to the unique experiences of LGBT patients. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Umapathi to anyone in the LGBT community seeking colorectal surgical care. Her professionalism, empathy, and inclusive approach make her an outstanding choice.
