Write a ReviewThe surgery was successful, and my recovery has been smooth. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate surgical oncologist in Maharashtra. Her team was also very supportive.
त्यांचे हे उपकार आम्ही कधीच विसरू शकणार नाही. ती फक्त एक डॉक्टर नाही तर एक एंजेल (angel) आहे.
उन्होंने ट्यूमर रिमूवल सर्जरी की और समझाया कि आगे क्या करना है। उनकी वजह से मेरी मम्मी आज अपनी जिंदगी फिर से पूरी तरह जी पा रही हैं।
She performed the surgery herself, and thankfully, it was caught at an early stage. I appreciate her attention to detail and proactive approach. She saved me from a much bigger problem.
महाराष्ट्रात अशा डॉक्टर्स असणं ही आपल्यासाठी खूप अभिमानाची गोष्ट आहे. त्यांचे आभार कसे मानावे हेच कळत नाही.
