Infinite Series Solution for Simplifying f(m): Tips and Approximations

I would like to simplify this series as much as possible

f(m)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{m^n (2n)!}{(n!)^3}

Approximates would also be fine.

One can easily notice that

(2n!) / (n!)^2 > 2^n

hence I figured out that f(m) > \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(2m)^n}{n!}=\exp(2m)

but this is not the best approximation, alas, it is far away from the true solution.

What would you suggest? Thanks.

You could apply Stirling's formula to get rid of some factorials...
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
