I would highly recommend Dr Kanneganti to my family and friends. Dr Kanneganti is an excellent surgeon. I felt like I could trust her medical knowledge the procedures that I needed to have done. She also cares deeply about her patients. She is an easy Dr to talk to and ask questions. She explains treatment that needs to be done really well so that you as a patient will understand. Her staff and other Drs she works with are excellent.
