We are senior citizens and my wife is a kidney patient going through dialysis every other day. As her eyesight became weaker I was looking for an Ophthalmologist and found Dr.Uma through Google reference. From day one she has been very helpful and explained in greater detail what needs to be done for my wife. Accommodating my wife's condition she planned the cataract surgery for both eyes within a matter of 10 days and the whole treatment was carried out by her seamlessly taking care of our needs from A to Z. Even after the surgery, her follow up was excellent and very reassuring. It is our good fortune that we managed to find such a qualified and patient-friendly doctor. Hope many will continue to get her care and mind you these are for eyes. You need an extremely skillful treatment. we are very happy and wishing her and the team all the best of luck.
Visited For Trabeculectomy
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
We came to consult for my mother's glaucoma treatment. After getting tossed up with few drs in the city, landed up here at the right time. My mum almost got to depression after having painful laser treatment and mis leading pathetic treatment. Definitely Dr. Uma is God sent angel and while we came here without any time delay Dr. Uma mam started the treatment the very first day we consulted her. She had performed the most critical surgery trabeculectomy with mitomycin c.we never felt this much ease and comfortable with any drs. My mum who was refusing for surgery before felt she was in safe hands,accepted for surgery and felt more positive with Dr.uma's comforting words and pacifying nature. Also she spent more time with the patient clearly explaining the course of treatment. Without her strengthening words of hope we would have never proceeded for surgery. Our heart felt immense gratitude to Dr.Uma for guiding us with the right treatment care.
