    Dr Poovamma is one of the most efficient and empathetic surgeons who has been treating my mother for the past 5 years. She exudes so much energy that the patient feels cured just by meeting her! Not many doctors have that quality. At the same time she is very direct and will tell you the problem as is. She truly is one of the strongest assets of Cytecare hospitals.

    Dr. Poovamma is treating my mom’s breast cancer. The experience so far has been great. Empathy is one word I want to associate with her. She made it so easy for my aged mom to understand, adapt and go thru new norm with ease.

    I had the misfortune of being diagnosed with breast cancer. But was fortunate to be referred to Dr. Poovamma, an excellent onco surgeon at Cytecare. Her knowledge and experience was evident in our pre surgery consultation and post surgery meetings with her where she explains everything in such detail and with so much patience that it puts your mind at ease. She did a fantastic job with my surgery that I recovered and healed well and could start my chemo in 2 weeks post surgery. Her support staff is also extremely helpful and professional.

    Dr. Poovamma C U from Cytecare is an excellent doctor. Went for a second opinion and continued treatment from her. Her clinical diagnosis is very sharp. My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. She explained the diagnosis and treatment options in detail. Also explained the pros and cons of treatment options which helped us immensely to decide. Her supporting staff are kind, polite, friendly and helpful especially Ms. Neethi C D who guided us for all the tests/scans/follow-ups etc. She ensured that we had a smooth admission and prep before the surgery. We are glad that we chose Dr. Poovamma C U and would highly recommend her. Thank you doctor. All the best and God bless.🙏

    Doctor Poovamma is a godsend. She is one of the most caring doctors we have had the pleasure of having. She always takes the time to explain things to us in a way that we can understand. She is very approachable even outside of hospital hours. She is meticulous in making sure that her patients receive the right treatment at the right time. Most importantly the smile that she always carries provided us with the much-needed relief from stress and anxiety.

    We consulted Dr.Poovamma for my mother’s breast cancer treatment. She is a very approachable and humble doctor. We were anxious and unsure about what next after the cancer diagnosis. However, meeting the doctor gave us clarity and felt that we are in safe hands. Doctor has great expertise & experience that guided us through the treatment physically and mentally. Doctor spends quality time to understand the symptoms and plans the right procedures. More importantly, she makes the patients confident to deal with the trauma. Thank you very much for everything, we will always be grateful for getting my mother out of this. Thanks to Cytecare for everything !!

    Dr. Poovamma is an excellent breast surgeon whom I consulted for a medical issue. From the moment I walked into her office, I felt reassured by her warm demeanor and expertise. She provided detailed explanations about my condition and conducted the procedure and post op care with such kindness and gentleness. Neethi, her assistant in patient services, efficiently facilitated the process. I highly recommend Dr. Poovamma and her team for their professionalism and expert care in breast health.

  • 5/5 Anil K. 8 months ago on Google
    We were extremely worried when my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. Our family doctor referred Dr Poovamma and as soon as we stepped in her room, our anxiety came down after listening her encouraging words. She had explained about complete treatment planned for my wife and gave enough assurance on the treatment. She had done breast conservative surgery for my wife successfully. When life closes one door, it opens another, for us the door is Dr Poovamma. She was a blessing for us in disguise. She is more than a doctor for us. Whenever my wife was down mentally, she was always there to encourage her, brought her spirit up and made sure my wife is fine today. Thank you isn’t really enough to express how grateful and overjoyed you’ve made us today.

    Dr. Poovamma is very a very experienced doctor who could diagnose breast cancer easily and she's an expert surgeon. Most important thing is that she can manage the patients very well without giving any stress.. Highly recommend her

  • 5/5 Prakash R. 2 years ago on Google
    An excellent human being which makes her a great and caring doctor. Accurate and balanced diagnosis, supportive approach in patient care is what defines Dr. Poovamma . Her post surgical approach in minimal hospital stay, discharge with virtually no medicine and managing palliative care has been very unique and simple. My mother-in-law aged 72 got cured in no time. She performed BCS and not only brought physical well-being but also emotional well-being. My heartfelt appreciation to her and good wishes to her for her success in the medical field which unfortunately is devoid of caring and understanding doctors like her. Cancer is an area which indeed needs a very different mind of the doctor and Dr Poovamma is a god gifted.

  • 5/5 Reshma R. 2 years ago on Google
    During our uncertain times, Dr. Poovamma came as a saving grace for my mother. Humanity is the word she carries with her and it is a very comfortable journey with the perfect analysis of the problem and the solution. She is extremely supportive and available to answer queries post treatment as well. Thank you doctor. you are always in our prayers.🙂

  • 5/5 Teena C. 2 years ago on Google
    When my mom was diagnosed by breast cancer, first thought was to check with Dr Poovamma, as we already had positive opinions on her. Knowing my mom has contracted this disease without any family history or anything itself was not easy to digest. Dr Poovamma made this journey very smooth. My mom got her initial tests and within couple of days, her surgery was done in Cytecare hospital. I should stay a very organized and well maintained one, staffs and doctors were very friendly. My mom was very impressed with Dr. Poovamma specially and always had very nice words on her with her known folks. Doctor is very approachable, down to earth, makes you really feel at home. Eases out all your anxiety and concerns. One of the best doc we have seen. After surgery, she had 4 cycles of chemo and put on hormonal therapy by the Dr. Getting treated by her was a cake walk in this roller coaster ride. Was a blessing knowing her. We are very thankful to her, would Highly recommend this doctor. I think my mom could heal and get out of it sooner only because of Dr . Poovamma. Wish the doc many more milestones.

  • 5/5 ashima k. 2 years ago on Google
    Can't express my gratitude in few words here but I will try to put in few words. Dr Poovamma is excellent in her field ,depth of knowledge . People say arrogance makes one a good surgeon ,Dr Poovamma proved it wrong . She is not only a good surgeon but a good human being too. She is very caring and a good listener too. Her priority is to make her patient comfortable first. Thank you Dr Poovamma from the bottom of my heart. Keep doing the good work. God bless you

  • 5/5 Sunitha V K. 1 year ago on Google
    It was completely out of the blue that my mother of age 71 with healthy lifestyle and no comorbidities got diagnosed with breast cancer stage 2 in early April 2022, post a biopsy in my hometown. In the frantic search of a good hospital and doctor in Bangalore, got the reference of Dr Poovamma @ Cytecare Cancer Hospital from one of my colleagues, whose mother was treated by Dr Poovamma around 2 yrs back. On hearing from my colleague on how comfortable her mother was under the care of Dr Poovamma, I discussed the same with my mother, father, sister and other family members. The only factor which we were not comfortable was the distance to the hospital (30+ km away from our house) which was overridden thinking of the comfort factor my mother was already in when talking about Dr Poovamma. All of us were very anxious before meeting Dr, but once we had a detailed discussion with her on various aspects, we were relieved knowing that our mother was in very safe and able hands. Dr explained all the details in simple terms for our easy understanding. Within a week of our appointment, my mother underwent surgery and within 2 days she was discharged. Once back home and in recovery phase, our offline queries were answered by Dr very promtly too. It is close to 1 month since the surgery. All the post surgery visits have been so comforting with Dr Poovamma listening to our questions patiently and clarifying them with all relevent details. We are all very thankful to Dr Povamma and really appreciate her calm and loving nature, which made this phase of our lives very easy to deal with and with the right spirit.
