"after waiting 2 + hours to see the Dr, he said we needed xray, and MRI for bone scan. After a few phone calls which weren't returned, after a few weeks I had to stop by office and get referrals faxed to hospital. Not cool!"
— Birdeye review"He took out so much tissue that my husband no longer has a urinary sphincter and is completely incontinent. When we asked questions, he had a very condescending tone, treating us as if we are imbeciles and answering the question in a pedantic way."
— Vitals review of Dr. Surapaneni Rao"Can't thank them enough for taking such great care of my husband! When you hear cancer.....the world stops turning for a while. His surgery went well and Dr. Richter has been amazing!"
