This is a win-win association for all of us, and I look forward to making a meaningful contribution in my new role.”
Dr. Krishnamoorthy is currently Senior Consultant, ENT, Head and Neck Surgery, Neurotology and Cochlear implantation with Nova Specialty Surgery. Along with Dr. Ravi Samy, USA-based Chief Medical Officer of Bacterial Robotics, he has been instrumental in introducing the latest surgical techniques and technologies to India.
Dr. Samy is Director of the Skull Base Surgery Fellowship at the University of Cincinnati, College of Medicine and Otolaryngologist at the University of Cincinnati Neuroscience Institute. He is also the Director of the Adult Cochlear Implantation Program at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center (UCMC), as well as an Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology at the College of Medicine.
Dr. Samy continued, “Skull-based tumors destroy hearing and lead to death. It is not only a question of morbidity and mortality; it is a quality of life consideration. Our primary goal is providing top-tier treatment. However, I also want our outreach to continue winning the hearts and minds of the patients we serve and our collaborating surgeons.”
A live surgery, performed by Dr. Samy, was conducted at Nova Specialty Surgery on 20th November, 2013, showcasing state-of-the-art equipment that is at par with international standards.
