I recently underwent an open ovarian cystectomy at Prime Medical Hospital under the expert care of Dr. Usha, and I cannot speak highly enough about the experience. From the initial consultation to post-operative follow-up, the entire process was handled with exceptional professionalism, compassion, and expertise. Dr. Usha was incredibly thorough in explaining the procedure, addressing all of my concerns with patience and clarity. Her calm and confident approach immediately put me at ease and helped reduce the anxiety I had about undergoing surgery. The operation itself was a success. Dr. Usha and her surgical team demonstrated a high level of skill and precision. I experienced minimal discomfort post-surgery and recovered well, thanks in part to the detailed recovery plan she provided. Throughout my stay, the staff at Prime Medical Hospital were attentive, courteous, and efficient, contributing to a smooth and stress-free recovery. Thanks to Dr. Usha, I am now on the path to full health. I am deeply grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of gynecological surgery or care. Prime Medical Hospital is fortunate to have such a capable and compassionate doctor on their team.
