Dr Nirmala provided the best and most effective treatment for my child’s skin infection. The doctor and nurses were very friendly. The administrative staff, customer service team, and even the cleaners were all very polite and kind. I will recommend my clients to be admitted here in the future as it is very convenient. The hospital facilities are also excellent.
