As a gay man, I highly recommend Dr. Bindu Umapathi for colorectal surgery. Her expertise, coupled with her understanding of LGBT patients' needs, made my total colectomy experience exceptional. She provides empathetic, inclusive care, ensuring the well-being of her LGBT patients. Dr. Umapathi is an excellent choice for anyone in the community seeking specialized, compassionate surgical care!

Imagine having an excellent surgeon in your family who you know will take excellent care of you ~ that’s how Dr. Umapathi treated me. She looked over all my reports and tests with the greatest of detail and she was concerned with my whole health, physical and mental, not just my digestive issue - such as recommending another Dr. and testing for something she saw on my pancreas. She is one of the most detailed, caring and consistently dependable people I've ever had the opportunity to trust. As a bonus she is very personable, kind and friendly. Don’t hesitate to put your trust in her- she’s a 10!

Dr. Umapathi has the best bedside manner of any doctor I have seen in years. Given her area of practice, I was very uncomfortable going into this visit. Her compassion and patience was remarkable and set me at ease. She is one of the rare physician who takes time to listen and talk with her patients, which is amazingly refreshing.

Ultimately, she steered me toward a non-surgical course of treatment, which I also appreciated. I truly felt she had my best interests at heart.

I have been seeing Dr. Bindu Umapathi since June 2018 when she performed a life saving colorectal cancer surgery on me to remove a cancerous tumor in my rectum. She performed the Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery (TAMIS) which is a surgery very few colorectal surgeons are skilled to perform. She removed all the cancerous cells and my recuperation period was only two weeks, and this was amazing because the usual recuperation period from colorectal surgery without TAMIS would have been six months! Dr. Umapathi also specializes in the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors; and I am very fortunate because the cancer tumor she removed was a neuroendocrine tumor which is a very rare form of cancer that many colorectal surgeons are not familiar with. In addition to being an amazingly skilled colorectal surgeon, Dr. Umapathi is compassionate, personable, has a wonderful bedside manner and is a healer in every sense of the word. I am very blessed to have Dr. Umapathi on my medial team.

Dr. Umapathi is a great and caring professional. I visited Dr. Umapathi at her GW's office. She is the very best in her field and she is very thorough and very very polite. She explained things clearly and in detail and followed up with me a couple of times to insure that all was good. I highly recommend her. Thank you
