Please upload the Echocardiography report

Detailed Answer:
Hello , I am Dr. Mody and I would be addressing your concern.

I went through the history you have provided, however as it is a major call for surgery, I would wish that you provide me with more details , most importantly the Echo-Cardiography report and if possible the doctor's clinical note , this would help me give you an objective opinion of what is best for your brother .

You can simply upload them in the reports section or alternatively you can even e-mail them to YYYY@YYYY and keep the subject as ATTN: Dr Priyank Mody, i'll get them..

There are many alternatives in medicine, but we should select the one which is best for the patient in the long run.
