I would highly recommend Dr. Puram. I sought him out after a recurrence of thyroid cancer, knowing surgery would be tricky given previous operations. As a new patient, I appreciated the attentiveness with which Dr. Puram listened to me recount my history of thyroid cancer and past treatments, and I felt like he trusted my own knowledge of my body and cancer experiences. Once I confirmed surgery, he clearly explained the intended surgical plan and expectations, as well as potential complications. His office is very efficient with scheduling, follow up phone calls/app checks, and question answering; his nursing staff is wonderful. All those involved in my thyroid cancer care were impressed with Dr. Puram's surgical skill and the number of surrounding lymph nodes he was able to remove. In my experience, I have found Dr. Puram is an intelligent, kind, friendly, highly skilled doctor who listens to his patients and works very hard for their best interest.
