My mother needed a breast ultrasound for a lump. Dr. VVS Prabhakr Rao made her feel at ease and explained everything patiently. The mammogram and further biopsy guidance were done seamlessly. His clarity in diagnosis helped us move ahead with treatment on time. Very thankful for his expertise and kindness.
मेरी मम्मी की छाती का एक्स-रे डॉ. राव ने किया। रिपोर्ट तुरंत मिली और ट्रीटमेंट शुरू हुआ।
నా నాన్నగారికి ఛాతిలో నొప్పి వచ్చింది. డాక్టర్ వీవీఎస్ ప్రభాకర్ రావు గారి దగ్గర CT స్కాన్ చేయించాం. ఆయన సరిగ్గా క్లాట్ గుర్తించి వెంటనే కార్డియాలజీకి రిఫర్ చేసారు. స్కాన్ రిపోర్ట్ చాలా క్లియర్గా ఇచ్చారు. మా ఫ్యామిలీ ఆయనకి చాలా ఋణపడి ఉంది. నిజంగా మంచి అనుభవం.
Shalini ko pelvic pain tha, par koi reason nahi mil raha tha. Jab Dr. VVS Prabhakr Rao ne ultrasound kiya, toh unhone endometriosis spot kiya. Uski clarity aur detailed report ne gynecologist ko turant decision lene mein madad ki. Diagnosis clear tha, aur unki calm nature ne patient ko bhi comfortable feel karwaya. Highly recommended.
मेरे पापा, श्री राजेश मिश्रा को सिर में चक्कर आ रहे थे। डॉ. वीवीएस प्रभाकर राव ने MRI स्कैन किया और ब्रेन में हल्का ब्लड क्लॉट पकड़ लिया। सही समय पर इलाज शुरू हो गया। उनकी रिपोर्टिंग इतनी सटीक थी कि डॉक्टर भी इम्प्रेस हो गए। दिल से धन्यवाद सर।
Ravi Sekhar had a spine MRI with Dr. VVS Prabhakr Rao. Calm, accurate, and quick reporting. Highly dependable and the best radiology doctor ever.
