Dr. Vishal Rao treated me for laryngeal cancer. He carefully explained all the procedures, providing emotional and physical support throughout the process. His expertise helped me through the toughest times, and I’m now cancer-free. I can’t thank him enough for saving my voice and giving me back my confidence.
