Dr Raghu Nandan did my reconstruction (diep flap surgery) after my mastectomy. I opted to go the diep flap route, because I wanted soft natural looking breasts. My new boobs look better than ever and feel soft and squishy. I had implants before and hated how hard they felt. I knew I wanted to use my own tissue. It's a little longer process (not instant gratification/ but totally worth it) in my opinion. Dr Nandan did his residency at John's Hopkins. I felt so blessed to have a surgeon who is so highly skilled in Springfield, MO. I would have traveled to have him do my surgery. Literally, he is the best!! His staff was excellent and attentive throughout the process.

I have had previous surgeries and wish I would have found Dr. Nandan sooner. He takes his time to explain the process and his staff is very helpful. If you're looking for a caring, excellent bedside manner and a talented surgeon, you are in the right spot.

Dr. Nandan is an amazing provider. He and his team helped me navigate a very scary and difficult time in my life. Their compassion and empathy for me and my family made all the difference. Dr. Nandan and team were responsive to my situation and medical needs. In the last year and a half there were many evening and weekend phone calls, which kept me calm and reassured of what to expect. He is excellent about explaining situations. The could of, should of, would of scenarios were always discussed in a way in which I understood and comfortable with moving forward. Dr. Nandan met my husband, sister and BFF. He was very responsive to their concerns and questions making sure they understood the course of action. The only way I was able to take this experience and make it good was through humor and laughter. Dr. Nandan has a good sense of humor. Being forced to choose a provider under incredible circumstances is hard. I am happy to say I chose well. Dr. Nandan sets the bar high and Mercy Health Systems is very lucky to have him as a provider.
