Patient Reviews
Dec 27, 2024
My family and I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Thenappan. I felt confident from the first meeting with him. He took his time and did not rush us. He explained everything thoroughly and made me feel at ease that my child would be in the most capable hands. The procedure went very well, and Dr. Thenappan and his team of APPs took excellent care of my child. I would highly recommend him if your child has to have surgery.
