Bindu A Umapathi, MD, MRCS, FACS, FASCRS

I received a diagnosis that required surgery of the small intestine to remove cancerous tumors. Dr. Bindu Umapathi was recommended for the surgery by my gastroenterologist and several acquaintances in the medical profession who knew her expertise with my problem. I am glad I listened to them. From the first office visit to the eventual surgery, hospital visits, and follow-up appointment Dr. Umapathi was exceptional in the time she spent to give me thorough and understandable descriptions of each step towards my recovery. She listened and responded to my concerns throughout this journey. As a testament to her surgical skills, in a 5-hour process to remove 5 tumors and many lymph nodes, I rebounded quickly and began walking the hospital corridors the next day. I will always remember her attention and concern for my comfort and recovery in the hospital.

As a gay man who underwent a total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis, I can confidently recommend Dr. Bindu Umapathi for her exceptional skills and understanding in colorectal surgery.

Imagine having an excellent surgeon in your family who you know will take excellent care of you ~ that’s how Dr. Umapathi treated me. She looked over all my reports and tests with the greatest of detail and she was concerned with my whole health, physical and mental, not just my digestive issue - such as recommending another Dr. and testing for something she saw on my pancreas. She is one of the most detailed, caring and consistently dependable people I've ever had the opportunity to trust. As a

Dr. Umapathi is a highly skilled surgeon who is compassionate, communicative, personable, and who genuinely cares about the needs of her patients. I trust her judgment implicitly. She is a true healer in every sense of the word. Dr. Umapathi is the very best colorectal surgeon in the area without a doubt. I count myself blessed to have Dr. Umapathi on my medical team.

I travel extensively internationally for the World Bank and my IBD has been my main problem in life; this was until I came under the care of Dr. Bindu, I am so glad that my Gastroenterologist referred me to her, it has not only brought me physical comfort but also great peace of mind, I love my job and able to continue to do it because of her.

I took my mom to Dr. Umapathi after another surgeon in Pennsylvanian who shall remain nameless totally botched the operation. She as extremely patient and went to great lengths to reassure us every step of the way as we were recovering from the previous negative experience..... how we wish we would have found her the first time around. If you are lucky enough to see her, you are in good hands.

Dr. Umapathi took great care of my father who had a complication from another provider.

I recently seen Dr. Umapathi recently and was highly satisfied with her care. Caring, understanding, and informative.

Professional excellence, highly skilled in latest surgical techniques, protocols and procedures, compassionate on-time delivery with no short-cuts. I never expected to find myself in the position of needing this type of surgeon, so I am glad that I found Dr. Umapathi (through her team mate Antoinette Sadler, M.D.) The most impressive thing to me (among many) is that having removed a mass from my colon, she personally oversaw the pathology to "make sure they got it right." This is more than a gesture; it is the mark of a great surgeon, as I know from reading and experience. That's just one example of how she looked over my case following a 6 1/2 hour robotic assisted surgery. I have exceptionally high standards and a deep respect for this practice so far. Hence my 5-star rating--happy to share!
