Dr. Sreekanth is seeing my mother for two years now. His knowledge about the cardiac issues and the politeness towards his patients is an extremely rare combination in a Doctor today. He explains everything very clearly without any hurry at all. He wouldn't recommend medicine or tests unless really needed.I can clearly say that whenever he is around us, we feel safe for my mother.Thanks a lot Sir!!

Dr Sreekanth is such a nice person to interact. My waiting period was like NIL. He listened to me carefully with a great patience and to my surprise, at the end he suggested only walking and wait reduction. Though I don't prefer to have medicine but I was expecting he may suggest some medicine. But I am happy that he explained everything in detail. After meeting him my confidence boosted a lot. Thanks Dr Sreekanth.
Visited For Pain in Left part of Chest
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessTreatment satisfactionValue for money
*** ** *** **** ************ ** ****** ********** listen the issue patiently and recommend less medicine and tests. half of the problem disappeared once you start to talk with him. I went for left side chest pain and shortness of breathing. he recommended some tests. Post the test said no issue with the heart. it's a chest muscle pain. just relax. it's all due to over thinking.
