Dr.Padmamalini is a messiah for my nephew. We met her when my nephew was a kid. He is born with hearing loss. On top of it when we realised he has difficulty seeing we couldn't imagine how his world could turn upside down. We went to consult at NN and that's when we meet first time many years ago dr.Padmamalini. She addressing him lovingly 'Kanna' lightened our hearts. Since his condition is rare, she dealt with it patiently and cautiously. Initally when it appeared surgery was difficult, she managed keep his vision by washing with some liquids. On a long run continuing to do that wasnt an option. When many others said he might lose his sight, she performed the surgery and saved his vision for his life. Our family holds high respect and regards for her. She belongs to a rare breed of humans only most of us can dream of. She is a example of truest doctor.If you are consulting her, belive me she will provide you with the best solution possible in this world for your condition.
