Visited For Anal Fissure Treatment (Non-Surgical)
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
Hello,
I have consulted Dr Sreekanth sir for fissures treatment, it was horrible pain, i was neither able to sit nor stand continuously.
Dr Sreekanth sir prescribed an ointment for local application, anti-biotic medicine , a pain killer ( only for 3 days, he specifically told) and laxatives for soften the stool and also suggested to take high fiber diet. It was quite impressive with in a week i got relief, but due to my natural tendency towards spicy foods it reoccurred after few days.
I consulted him again and asked him about having surgery to cure it permanently, He suggested not to opt surgery at this moment and asked me to have medication for few more days, suggested to have high fiber diet, avoid spicy food. He told that the main problem which caused fissures are constipation, it should be treated first, he told that even if you go for surgery it might reoccur if i have constipation in future.
This time he prescribe new ointment for local application, it worked amazingly, the fissure get cured in 2 weeks, now i am feeling good.
Thank you Sreekanth sir.

Visited For AppendicitisStomach Pain
Was having stomach ache over 3 days and thought better to visit the doc as I had to fly abroad. Doctor has checked and I realized i am havin pain at right side only and suggested an Ultrasound scan as symptoms of appendicitis are sometimes not shown fully. I didn't take a chance and immediately went for ultrasound and doctor has confirmed that I am having apendicites at initial stage. I went for the surgery(Laproscopic Appendisectomy) the next morning and it all went fine, got discharged the very next day. Hospital is exceptional and I recommend it.
Visited For Constipation Treatment
I have taken an appointment for consultation for my father aged about 74 years, actually he requires some counseling for his problem, Dr.Sreekanth has given ample time to him to listen his problem, he has given very good counseling to my father and Dr.Sreekanth has clarified all doubts with very patience, finally he prescribed only one medicine and diet suggestion. He is very good doctor and I strongly recommend. Here I have to refer about his assistant, the way he introduced himself is very nice and taken all required data about patient's history etc.- B.N.Murthy (patient name B.V.Ramana)
