She is an exceptional doctor. She was very knowledgeable, respectful, and treated my husband with compassion and dignity. She is very professional and experienced in her work. We feel very fortunate to have her as our doctor for this difficult situation.
Finally a doctor that does not push you into surgery. I made this appointment as second option because the doctors at another hospital were pushing me hard to surgery as the only option. Dr. Krishnamurty has eared my trust as she just gave facts and findings from relevant studies. She has left the decision up to me which is the way it should be. I highly recommend this doctor.
