We came across Dr. V. Srinivas Reddy when looking for a Maxillofacial surgeon for a second opinion for my mother. We had consulted a local dentist at first who diagnosed ulcerations and prescribed a local application of an ointment. However, as the issue did not subside even after 3-4 weeks of continuous use of the medication, we decided to go for a second opinion. This is when we came across Dr. V. Srinivas Reddy.
Dr. Reddy was very courteous and patient with us in trying to get to know the history of the ailment, the symptoms my mother was experiencing and what we had been doing to address it. Dr. Reddy upon his examination of the issue suspected it to be a squamous cell carcinoma and advised we get a few tests done to be certain of the diagnosis. It turned out to be the same and Dr. Reddy did not squander time anymore and was very transparent in his conversations with us and made sure we understood the illness and the treatment process. Reassurance from the doctor that this is nothing to be worried about and that we came to him at the right time was really comforting, a relief to know it would all be fine after the treatment is complete. The treatment was a 2-stage process where the tumour would be removed by a surgical procedure first followed by a full round of radiotherapy.
We completed all hospital formalities to prepare for the surgery. Dr. Reddy was the surgeon and after the surgery was complete, he was very articulate in making us understand how the tumour and adjacent margins were successfully removed. Dr. Reddy also visited my mother in the hospital as part of the daily rounds to see how she was recovering and if there was a need to address any minor expected post-surgical issues. He was very supportive and positive in his consultations with my mother and this I feel played a major role as this not only gave reassurance to my mother that all will be well, but also it gave us, the family, the mental strength we needed to remain positive in the situation and support my mother in her recovery.
Dr. Reddy forewarned us that radiotherapy (RT) is the more complex part of the treatment which would require my mother to be patient and brave at the same time. He was also very proactive in sharing some medical articles on the illness and the treatment so that we wouldn’t rely on unverified online sources for the information and take unnecessary stress. The advice from Dr. Reddy helped my mother prepare mentally for the RT and it helped us, the family to prepare a plan as to how we would care for our mother during the treatment addressing any expected side-effects (darkening of the skin at the site, ulcerations in the mouth, loss of appetite, general weakness, etc.). Even during RT, Dr. Reddy advised us to visit him once a week for him to observe how my mother was responding to the treatment and if any medication would be required for the expected side-effects. There were times when my mother was experiencing pain due to ulcerations following RT and swallowing food became difficult. We informed Dr. Reddy about the symptoms immediately and he was kind enough to call us in his clinic the next day to examine the symptoms which shows he responds to urgency promptly, really does care for his patients and wouldn’t try to avoid any follow-up visits his patients might seek. The due diligence and care for his patients displayed by Dr. Reddy was truly motivational and very refreshing to see for me personally. All in all, Dr. Reddy has ensured all his patients experience very high standards of care and treatment at his clinic and I, have no doubts absolutely in recommending Dr. Reddy to everyone who are reading this testimonial to make sure their loved ones get the skilled treatment and care under Dr. Reddy’s supervision.
To the patients and their families: Though it is easy to overlook but it is very important that in cases like my mothers’ it is very important for the patient and the family to be positive, motivated and show the courage required to conquer the illness. The treatment might be tough to endure but if you are able to remain positive, self-motivated, and courageous right through, you and your loved ones WILL emerge victorious from this. Just keep alive that zeal to live! and the courage to overcome all odds to spend many more years with your loved ones!
To Dr. Reddy: I have no words to say how grateful our family is to him for the care, patience and proactiveness he had shown during my mother’s treatment. Thank you, Dr. Srinivas Reddy, hope this testimonial helps others find the right care and treatment for their loved ones.Read less
