"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. Dr. Ponnuru is a very talented, experienced, and capable surgeon. She is an intelligent, smart, and knowledgeable doctor - which is exactly what I was in search of to repair my hernias. I trust her implicitly."
