Just saying ‘Thank you’ will not justify what Dr. Rayappa sir has done for us.My mom was having difficulty in breathing for merely 2 years due to thyroid enlargement.So we consulted Dr.Rayappa and he asked us to do surgery as soon as possible. It was hard for us to take the decision since a lot of risks was involved but we went ahead with it.Post surgery - My mom feels so energetic and alive, which she never felt before. Can breathe better, can talk, and just recovered in 2 days. The surgery was a success and Dr. Rayappa and his team took great for us throughout. We can’t describe the joy and happiness we’re filled with to see my mother so healthy.We give our heartfelt gratitude to Dr.Rayappa sir and his team.Dr. Rayappa is a great Otolaryngologist and we highly recommend him.
