Patient Feedback
The attendant here, Srivaidya Doctors, made sure that both my spouse and I had a nice sleep and stay. He went over the entire technique as well as the functional requirements of each equipment or tool that will be employed in the process. He was continually watching the readings, and I suspect he didn't get much sleep himself. The hygiene and cleanliness were excellent, and the facilities were excellent. Thank you very much.
