Patient Reviews
May 22, 2024
I recently had the privilege of being treated by Dr. Hegde, and I can confidently say he is an exceptional surgeon. I went in for a minor procedure, and from the moment I entered his office, I felt assured and comfortable.Over the past couple of years, I've visited many different providers for my health issues, but it never really felt like my concerns were being addressed appropriately. However, Dr. Hegde changed that. He listened to me attentively, thoroughly explained the procedure, and ensured I was comfortable every step of the way. His expertise and compassionate approach truly set him apart.Dr. Hegde's team is equally remarkable. They are super professional, attentive, and supportive, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. I am incredibly thankful for Dr. Hegde and his dedicated team. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled and caring surgeon.
