Dr Jayaraman is very knowledgeable and made me feel at ease throughout my surgery and into my post operative appointment. He answered all of my questions. I would recommend him to my friends and family if they were in need of surgery

Dr. Jayaraman took the time to hear my concerns, had empathy, was encouraging, explained the procedure and it's risks and benefits. My appointment with him was for a 2nd opinion. I was so comfortable with him I've chosen him to preform the surgery.

Dr Jay was compassionate and very informative. He thoroughly explained what was happening, his plan to remedy it, and had my surgery scheduled very quickly.

Dr. Jay made me feel at ease from the second I meet him. He took his time with me and answered all questions I had. I would highly recommend his care team to everyone I know. They were beyond amazing.

What a great experience I had with Dr. Jayaraman! Very thorough guiding me thru for surgery on my shoulder to remove a mass/nodule. The whole Backus outpatient surgery team did an excellent job!

I was having severe pain in my stomach and back and went to the emergency room. I turned out to be my gallbladder and I needed it removed. Dr. Jayaram was assigned as my surgeon, he is wonderful! He explained everything to me and was there when I woke to make sure everything was okay. I had a follow-up appointment with him a few week later. He is a kind and caring man who cares for his patients and listens to their concerns. His staff told me that they and all his patients adore him. If I ever need a surgeon again he is my top choice. I can not recommend him enough!
