Haritha B. Veeramachaneni, MD

I’m so glad I was referred to Dr. V. Before going to her office, she called me to introduce herself and what she’s specialized in. Right there I knew I was in good care. She is very caring and professional, and so is her staff. I was so nervous at first because I had breast cancer, and I was told I had to remove both of my breasts. She told me step by step what was going to happen. She made me feel at ease and told me I’d be okay. I’m cancer free now with my new beautiful implants! I kept thanking her to let her know I appreciate everything she did for me and am so grateful. If anyone needed any type of reconstruction, Dr V is the one to go to. She is an amazing and outstanding surgeon.
