Care Philosophy
I believe in treating patients how I would want my own family members to be treated. I view it as my role to educate patients about their treatment options and to help them to make thoughtful decisions regarding their health. I also work to identify pathways to reduce healthcare disparities, improve data driven robotic surgical education for trainees and improve molecular diagnostic testing for non-small cell lung cancer.

He was so kind. He really took his time going over all the scans, the procedure, all possible complications, how it would go at the hospital both before and after surgery. He told me if I had any questions I could call him at any time. He also asked me about my life and wanted to know who I had in my corner. I feel so very lucky to have such a kind and caring surgeon in my corner.

I first met Dr Sridhar at UMC center. He did my surgery, he knows I was nervous but he explained everything and he made me feel comfortable and trusting in him to take care of me. I also saw him during my recovery and he was the one who let me know of the outcome and reassured me that you have excellent team of Doctors who will take good care of me! I give him 10+. Thank you Dr. Sridhar and all the staff for taking good care of me! Keep up the amazing job and may God bless you all!!

Dr. Sridhar is an amazing physician. The thought of cancer is very scary and he treated me like he heard me. The surgery went very well. He changed up his plan for me about 15 minutes before my surgery because he thought it would be less painful for me. He worried more about MY pain than what was easier for him
