Patient Reviews
Feb 23, 2022
Dr. Ponnuru repaired my two inguinal hernias using a minimally invasive robotic technique in late 2021. She explained the procedure in our meeting prior to scheduling the surgery, and took the the time to answer all of my questions. Most importantly, she performed the surgery very well, as I had minimal pain and was back to my normal life within days. Her repair of my hernias has truly changed the way I am able to live my day-to-day life, as anyone with a large, painful, hernia can understand. It is obvious to me that she is a very talented, experienced, and capable surgeon. Dr. Ponnuru is an extremely intelligent, smart, and knowledgeable doctor - which is exactly what I was in search of to repair my hernias. I trust her implicitly.
