Write a Reviewउनकी टीम और उनका व्यवहार इतना अच्छा था कि हमें कभी अकेला महसूस नहीं हुआ। आज पिताजी पूरी तरह से ठीक हैं और उनकी आवाज़ भी पहले से बेहतर है। डॉ. चौकर ने हमें एक नई उम्मीद दी है।
The surgery was intricate, but his confidence and expertise were truly remarkable. He has a way of explaining complicated medical terms simply, which helped alleviate a lot of my anxiety. I am now in recovery, feeling stronger each day, all thanks to his exceptional surgical skills.
सरांनी आम्हाला पूर्ण विश्वास दिला की सर्व काही ठीक होईल. शस्त्रक्रिया खूप यशस्वी झाली आणि आता माझी पत्नी नियमित फॉलो-अप्स घेत आहे. सरांच्यामुळे आम्हाला एक नवीन आयुष्य मिळालंय.
सर ने बड़े धैर्य के साथ पूरा ऑपरेशन किया और मेरे पैर को बचा लिया। आज मैं चल फिर पा रहा हूँ, यह सिर्फ उनके कमाल के कौशल की वजह से। मैं उनका तहे दिल से शुक्रगुज़ार हूँ।
