Reviews
Excellent Doctor! Dr. Rajesh Reddy is a gifted neurologist. My Father’s have been suffering from a severe pain as he was not even able to sit or stand and was heavily stuggling to walk. When we visited the Doctor, Sri Rajesh Reddy took utmost care in attending my father and analysing the issues in a very short span and operated my dad with a well advanced laproscopy surgery to get rid of slipped L5/S1 disc issue which was identified post MRI analysis. Post surgery my dad who was 70 years old was completey fine and he said like his pain got vanished as someone took it out from with hand and now he is completely fine. He is not just a very expereinced doctor, but finding Physicians as brilliant and compassionate as Dr. Rajesh Reddy garu is. We recommend him without reserve.

I consulted Dr Rajesh Reddy for my father who was suffering from back pain for a long time. An MRI was recommended and doctor diagnosed that my father was suffering from slipped disc. He had prescribed medicines and recommended physiotherapy. He was doing well for almost an year or so. One day, he experienced sudden shooting pain down the leg. A repeat MRI showed progression of slipped disc to a stage which needed surgery. Following key hole spine surgery, my father was able to walk the same day and was relieved of pain. A few weeks later, there was pain at a different location for which medicines were prescribed. Since there was only partial relief of pain, a repeat MRI was suggested which showed slipped disc at another place (away from site of previous surgery, which i was told can happen in 5%). Another minor procedure was recommended for the same. Now, my father is doing well. Doctor recommended back care and some exercises to prevent recurrence of problem.

It’s a wonderful experience and a real privilege to get treated by an excellent and through professional Dr. Rajesh Reddy. I was diagnosed with “Left Hemispheric Subacute Subdural Hematoma”. Dr. Rajesh Reddy had explained me about the procedure which I have to undergo and did it in a manner that I was surprised. He showed such a patience with a patient like me.

Dr. Rajesh Reddy is a highly skilled and knowledgeable surgeon. He responds to all of your inquiries in a calm and collected way.Under his care, my mother underwent surgery to remove a meningioma, a brain tumour. Before this, I had no idea what a brain tumour meningioma was. I was scared when I came to know it. However, the surgeon provided a thorough explanation of the problem and procedure.My mother is over 60 years old, and I was scared whether if she would be able to fully recover after surgery or not. But the doctor made sure she didn’t feel bad about the scar on her head after the procedure. Believe me, now It will be very difficult to find a scar on her head.I would strongly recommend Dr. Rajesh Reddy for any neuro-related concerns.

Dr Rajesh recently did a spinal surgical procedure for my Mother. We are very happy, especially my Mother. He clearly explained the procedure and the recovery path thereafter. He counselled very well. Dr Rajesh’s analysis of the root cause is fantastic. We are fully satisfied.
