Visited for: For Treatment

Dr. I. Rajendra Vara Prasad is the best rheumatology specialist I ever met! I am Neema Lyimo from Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. I came to India, Hyderabad at Yashoda Hospital Somajiguda for treatment. I had osteoporosis for more than 5 years with severe back neck pain and muscle pain. Sometimes it was very difficult for me to stand for long and walk for short or long distances. When I met Dr. Rajendra (Rheumatologist) he took my concern seriously and listened to me very well. I had a lot of questions to ask him concerning my problem and he answered all my questions well. I received very good treatment and advice from him after going through some tests and investigations. Now I can do my normal activities, I can walk and be able to stand for a long!. I am now returning back to my country Tanzania with a smile on my face. I thank GOD for the life of this Dr. Rajendra, GOD used him as a vessel to solve my problem. My advice to other patients, please if you are looking for a rheumatologist, Dr. I. Rajendra Vara Prasad is the best! 851994XXXX nly*****@yahoo.com
