Dr. V.V.K. Vidyakar Veeramallu is a Consultant Urologist, Laparoscopic Surgeon, and Renal Transplant Specialist based in Visakhapatnam. His practice — Hasitha Uro Care — operates out of CARE Hospital in Yendada, and is built around a simple principle: serious medicine, delivered with serious attention to the human being in front of him.
He earned his MBBS from Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam, his MS in General Surgery from Rangaraya Medical College, Kakinada, and his MCh in Urology back at Andhra Medical College — completing one of the most rigorous surgical training arcs available in India. He spent the bulk of his consultant years (2018–2026) at Pinnacle Hospitals, progressing from Junior Consultant to Senior Consultant and accumulating a deep, hands-on portfolio across the full spectrum of urological surgery.
Today, his expertise spans endoscopic urological procedures — URSL, PCNL, RIRS, ECIRS, TURP — through more than 500 laparoscopic procedures, robotic-assisted urology, and over 1,000 renal transplant procedures assisted. He has performed multiple transplant procedures as lead surgeon, including both cadaveric and live-donor cases. His AV fistula portfolio alongside transplant work exceeds 200 surgeries, making him a trusted name in dialysis access creation.
Alongside his primary practice, he has worked as a visiting consultant at KGH, Medicover Hospital, and Apollo Hospital in Visakhapatnam — and is known among peers as a dependable back-up surgeon for complex PCNL and RIRS cases. Patients describe him as patient, available (often by WhatsApp), and unusually calm under pressure.
