Myur S. Srikanth Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

Dr. Srikanth is literally a life saver for me. I began the process for my DS with him back in April of 2010. I stopped working with him briefly, to see if I could diet and exercise my way down but, after very limited success, I found myself crawling back into his office.

His office staff are very helpful, although they can be a bit distant (not super personable). However, Dr. Srikanth makes up for that by being a wonderfully bright, happy man. You actually hear him before you see him, as his laughter carries up and down the halls of his office. He consistently tells you how much he enjoys doing what he does and it shows.

Doc Srikanth is very conservative and focuses on aftercare like a laser beam. He was upfront about the risks and he WILL have you test for everything under the sun before he lays a single scalpel on you! You WILL take many tests prior to your surgery. He believes that the more he knows about you, the better he can help you. Also, for DSers, he tends to do a standard DS (40fr bougie sleeve and 150cm Common Channel), so your individual mileage might vary.

Tina, his NP is amazing. She's very knowledgeable about nutrition and works with you closely post-op, to ensure that you are doing well.

The only really negative thing I have to say about my doc is that, post-op, you'll rarely see him. He's a surgeon, tried and true, and he focuses on the surgical aspects of your DS. Aftercare is left to Tina and while I think she's fantastic, Srikanth is like a perfect summer day. He's so very warm, with an amazing bedside manner and is so obviously caring, that he's hard to top. Tina is close, but she ain't him.

I've lost around 170 lbs at the time of this review and I couldn't be happier. I would recommend Dr. Srikanth and his staff to anyone who was looking to have a great outcome from their WLS.

It took close to 3 years to get my insurance to pay for a revision from lap band to vertical gastric sleeve, but it finally came through. Had surgery on 2/8 and it went very well. Dr Srikanth is funny and kind with his patients. His office is well run and his staff is very responsive. He is very concerned about aftercare. You are expected to come in once a month for a year and have blood work every 3rd visit. I have a box full of vitamins, iron, and suppliments that I take 3 times a day. I feel better than have in ages. I have lost 20 pounds since the surgery and look forward to reaching my goal. He can be critical if you don't follow instructions or lose much weight.

Dr. Srikanth and his staff are amazing! They make you feel welcome and important from the very beginning. Surgery went smooth and Dr. Srikanth was able to remove my gall bladder and repair a hernia all at the same time. They were on top of my pain management and even helped when my pain increased after being discharged from the hospital, as well as after office hours. I can't imagine being in better hands. The hospital staff was wonderful as well, especially the night staff and the nurse that attended to my needs right after surgery until the end of her shift.

Dr Srikanth is friendly, fun, caring, soft mannered, intelligent Dr. The more I got to know him, the more I found that my first impressions were right on the money. While I was in recovery, I personally watched him hold a patients hand after an EGD in the recovery room while she cried and they discussed what to do next. His office staff all seem to be caring and friendly also. I must personally thank Sarah for all her efforts and tons of phone calls to my insurance to get them on the right track. Future patients of Dr Srikanth's should know that he is very strict about his care of his patients and expects you to follow his instructions to a T (which is why his complication rate is so low). He is a hard nose with his aftercare, which i think is a good thing. I would rate Dr Srikanth an 11 out of 10 :) His surgical competence and his bedside manner are both equal, would not rate one over the other. You can hear him coming from down the hallways, in his happy uplifting ways. They say in this review that i should write something negative because 100% positive review can cause people not to totally trust the review, but I seriously can not think of one thing negative, except that he is super strict with his aftercare. I do not think that is a negative, it just shows how much he cares. I would highly recommend Dr Srikanth to anyone.

I could not have picked a better surgeon! He has a great bedside manner, and truly cares about each one of his patients. Most of all, his expertise regarding Weight Loss Surgery.

All the risks of surgery were thoroughly explained to me pre op. The aftercare program is strict, to provide the best possible results.

I have had some pain issues, and had to call the office after hours. Dr Srikanth, and his NP, Tina, have followed through every time making sure that everything was being done at my local hospital to take care of me (I live 2 hours from Federal Way, WA).

The office staff have always been very helpful anytime I have visited the office, or have called with questions or concerns.

I recommend everyone to consider Dr Srikanth when considering Weight Loss Surgery! His surgical competence and bedside manner are outstanding.

The only negative aspect for me, has been that my surgeon is out of my area, but I knew this in the beginning.

Very informative

aftercare is very important to him.

he has a great laugh you can hear him coming down the hall. very nice dr

very good at making sure everything was done right.

very good surgeon would recommend him to anyone.

Dr Srikanth ROCKS!!!!. Listens to your wants, has a great sense of humor, can laugh at himself....I trust him with my life!

Absolutely love Dr. Srikanth. He has such enthusiasm for what he does, he can very very highly recommended by others that have had him perform their surgerys, there is nothing that I don't like about this man. His office staff is great and so very helpful in providing all the information that is needed to get the surgery approved. I rate Dr. Srikanth with a "10".

Dr. Srikanth is an extraordinary surgeon who ensures his patients have the best possible chance for success. The first time I met Dr. Srikanth I was impressed. He explained the surgical options and then asked me which surgery I was interested in. When I told him I wanted the lapband, he told me I would have great success with the band. He was so right! Dr. Srikanth continues to impress me. If I have questions, he answers them. If I am concerned about something, he calms me. He has a wonderful "bedside manner." Dr. Srikanth has a great followup program. He doesn't just operate and cut you loose. I believe the followup program is one of the reasons his patients have better weight loss than many other surgeon's patients. Dr. Srikanth and his staff are all awesome. When I walk into his office, everyone knows me by name. The staff is extremely knowledgable and helpful. Dr. Srikanth has gone out of his way to hire surgical weight loss patients to work in his office. It is so nice to know the person you are talking to has been there! I highly recommend Dr. Srikanth to anyone who is considering a weight loss surgery!

Amazing, supportive, friendly, professional, and thorough - those are just a few of the adjectives that describe Dr Srikanth and his entire office team.
