Patient Stories for Dr. Krishna Shama Rao
Dear Dr. Krishna Shama Rao Sir,
I wanted to sincerely thank you for the exceptional care and surgical precision you provided during my recent procedure.
Going into a surgery involving all four wisdom teeth — with lower roots in direct contact with the nerve, and an additional cyst near my upper front tooth — was honestly overwhelming. I was especially anxious about the risk of nerve damage. But your detailed planning, calming approach, and expert execution made all the difference.
Your decision to carefully section each tooth and even divide the roots showed how much you prioritized safety and precision over speed. I truly appreciate the time and care you took to protect the inferior alveolar nerve, especially given how high-risk the case was.
I’m relieved and grateful to say that I can feel my lip, chin, and tongue normally, and I know that’s because you went the extra mile at every step.
I also want to thank you for handling the cyst removal with such precision. Knowing that was taken care of thoroughly and safely adds immense peace of mind.
Thank you again — not just for your surgical excellence, but for the way you made me feel informed, respected, and cared for. I feel truly fortunate to have been in your hands.
With sincere gratitude,
Abhishek Kumar
