My mom, Meena Sharma, was diagnosed with breast cancer, and we met Dr. Smitha. She explained the chemo cycles with such compassion, guiding us at every step. Today, mom is cancer-free. Dr. Smitha's dedication was truly life-changing. She is the best Oncologist in Bangalore.

मेरे पिता रमेश जी को प्रोस्टेट कैंसर था, और हम सब बहुत डर गए थे। डॉ. स्मिता ने न केवल उनकी केमोथेरेपी को संभाला बल्कि हमें भावनात्मक सहारा भी दिया। उनकी मेहनत से आज पापा स्वस्थ हैं।

Jab Anil ko colon cancer diagnose hua, toh hum sab bahut pareshaan the. Dr. Smitha ne targeted therapy ka treatment start kiya aur har cheez ka pura dhyan rakha. Aaj Anil kaafi better hain, aur yeh sirf unke dedication se possible hua.

मेरी बहन माया को ब्लड कैंसर हो गया था। डॉ. स्मिता ने बायोलॉजिकल थेरेपी से इलाज शुरू किया और हमें हर चीज़ की जानकारी दी। उनकी देखभाल और ज्ञान से माया की हालत अब बेहतर है।

Mujhe lymphoma ka treatment shuru karne se pehle bahut darr lag raha tha, par Dr. Smitha ne chemo sessions ko itna smoothly handle kiya. Unke care ke wajah se main ab remission mein hoon, aur unka support kabhi nahi bhulungi.

Undergoing chemotherapy for my lymphoma was tough, but Dr. Smitha made each step manageable. She always explained everything patiently. Today, I’m in remission, and it’s all thanks to her dedicated care.

डॉ. स्मिता की देखभाल के कारण मेरी माँ, नीलू देवी, आज फेफड़े के कैंसर से उबर रही हैं। उनकी इम्यूनोथेरेपी ट्रीटमेंट की वजह से मेरी माँ को एक नई ज़िंदगी मिली है। बहुत आभारी हूँ।
