I will enthusiastically recommend Dr. Krishnamoorthy to anyone wanting an excellent caring experienced and perfectionist to be their surgeon. He responds honestly to all your questions and isn't in a hurry to move onto his next patient. I love Dr. K's mannerisms; calm and confident.

I feel I'm in excellent hands with Dr. K. He came highly recommended and I am happy he is board certified. The two times I've met with him I feel very confident he will take excellent care of me.

Extremely accommodating; listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions. Offered reasons for his recommendations and gave me the choice of when I would want to do the surgery. He eased my fear of being diagnosed with breast cancer.
