Underwent VATS lobectomy for early lung cancer. Dr. Raghavendra explained every step with 3D models and answered all our anxious questions. The minimally invasive procedure meant I was home in 3 days with barely visible scars.
My teenage son's sports-induced breathing issues were misdiagnosed as asthma elsewhere. Dr. Raghavendra identified vocal cord dysfunction through laryngoscopy and recommended speech therapy instead of steroids. Life-changing correct diagnosis!

Routine pulmonary function test turned into an early COPD diagnosis thanks to Dr. Raghavendra's sharp eye. His smoking cessation program actually worked after decades of failed attempts. Five months smoke-free!
My mother's rare interstitial lung disease had stumped multiple doctors. Dr. Raghavendra arranged for a digital lung auscultation system to monitor her remotely and adjusted treatments based on the real-time data. Cutting-edge care.
Emergency bronchoscopy for a toddler who inhaled a toy piece. Dr. Raghavendra's steady hands and gentle approach with the frightened child were remarkable. The procedure took 8 minutes start to finish.
Post-COVID lung fibrosis follow-up. Dr. Raghavendra's pulmonary rehabilitation program combining breathing exercises, nutritional advice, and gradual activity increase helped me regain 90% of my lung function.
Complex case of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. Dr. Raghavendra's personalized immunotherapy approach avoided long-term steroids and their side effects. Finally found a doctor who thinks outside the textbook.
Industrial accident victim with chemical inhalation injury. Dr. Raghavendra managed the critical first 72 hours personally, using advanced ECMO support when conventional ventilation failed. His dedication saved my brother's life.
My 85-year-old mother was admitted with pneumonia complications, and Dr. Sameera's cross-specialty pediatric insights surprisingly helped optimize her fragile respiratory care—her unconventional approach made all the difference in recovery.
When my 3-day-old newborn developed jaundice requiring phototherapy, Dr. Sameera stayed past midnight calibrating the bilirubin levels herself—her hands-on urgency and warm reassurances carried us through that terrifying first week.

During a routine vaccine visit, Dr. Sameera detected subtle heart murmurs in our toddler that three previous doctors missed—early intervention for a congenital defect prevented future complications.
Post-chemotherapy follow-up for our teen’s lymphoma: Dr. Sameera remembered his love for astrophysics and brought him star charts to discuss during bloodwork—turning a painful visit into something he actually looked forward to.
My infant’s complex gastrointestinal surgery required a multidisciplinary approach; Dr. Sameera personally liaised between gastroenterology, nutrition, and surgery teams, even sending us daily evening updates via voice notes.
An elderly grandparent with dementia was mistakenly brought to pediatrics; instead of redirecting us immediately, Dr. Sameera briefly assessed her dehydration and arranged direct ER admission—compassion beyond protocol.
For our daughter’s chronic asthma, Dr. Sameera created a personalized cartoon-themed peak flow meter chart and taught her to ‘defeat the asthma monster’—now she reminds us about her inhaler doses herself!
