Write a Reviewನನ್ನ ಮಗಳಿಗೆ ಕರುಳಿನ ತೊಂದರೆ ಇತ್ತು, ತುಂಬಾ ಚಿಕ್ಕ ವಯಸ್ಸಿನಿಂದಲೇ. ಮಣಿಪಾಲ್ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆ, ಯಶವಂತಪುರದಲ್ಲಿ ಡಾ. ಗೋವಿಂದ ನಂದಕುಮಾರ್ ಅವರನ್ನು ಸಂಪರ್ಕಿಸಿದೆವು. ಅವರು ಮಗಳ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಯನ್ನು ಅತ್ಯಂತ ತಾಳ್ಮೆಯಿಂದ ಕೇಳಿ, ಸರಿಯಾದ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿಸಿ, ಸೂಕ್ತ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆ ನೀಡಿದರು. ಈಗ ನನ್ನ ಮಗಳು ಆರೋಗ್ಯವಾಗಿದ್ದಾಳೆ. ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್ ಅವರ ಆಶೀರ್ವಾದ ನಮ್ಮ ಮೇಲೆ ಸದಾ ಇರಲಿ. ಅವರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಹೇಳಲು ನನ್ನ ಬಳಿ ಪದಗಳೇ ಇಲ್ಲ.
I'm finally on the path to recovery and feel so much better.
Highly recommend him for any GI surgery needs.
ನಾನು ಡಾ. ಗೋವಿಂದ ನಂದಕುಮಾರ್ ಅವರನ್ನು ಮಣಿಪಾಲ್ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆ, ಹೆಬ್ಬಾಳದಲ್ಲಿ ಭೇಟಿಯಾದೆ. ನನ್ನ ತಂದೆಗೆ ಪಿತ್ತಕೋಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಕಲ್ಲುಗಳ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆ ಇತ್ತು, ಅದು ತುಂಬಾ ನೋವು ಕೊಡುತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್ ಸರ್ ತುಂಬಾ ಪರಿಣಿತರು, ಅವರು ಸಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಶಸ್ತ್ರಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆ ಮಾಡಿ ನಮ್ಮ ತಂದೆಯನ್ನು ಗುಣಪಡಿಸಿದರು. ಅವರ ಕೈಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಷ್ಟು ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟತೆ ಇದೆ, ಮತ್ತು ಅವರು ರೋಗಿಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ ತುಂಬಾ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯಿಂದ ಮಾತನಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ. ನಮಗೆ ಅವರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ತುಂಬಾ ನಂಬಿಕೆ ಇದೆ.
The recovery has been smooth, all thanks to his excellent surgical skills and the wonderful post-operative care. I highly recommend him for any gastrointestinal issues.
