Thank you for saving my child’s life.
ನಮ್ಮ ಮಗಳು ಪ್ರಿಯಾ ವಿಲ್ಸನ್ಸ್ ರೋಗದಿಂದ ಬಳಲುತ್ತಿದ್ದು, ಯಕೃತ ಪ್ರತಿಸ್ಥಾಪನೆ ಅವಶ್ಯಕವಿತ್ತು. ಡಾ. ಸಂಜಯ್ ರಾವ್ ಅವರ ಶಸ್ತ್ರಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆ ಯಶಸ್ವಿಯಾಯಿತು. ಇಂದು ಪ್ರಿಯಾ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಚೇತರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾಳೆ. ಡಾ. ರಾವ್ ಅವರ ಸಮರ್ಥತೆಯ ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಅವರು ಪಾಲಕರಿಗೆ ನೀಡುವ ಧೈರ್ಯವೂ ಅಪಾರ.
बेटे आयुष की हालत क्रिगलर नज्यार सिंड्रोम के कारण बहुत खराब थी। डॉक्टर ने सही समय पर लिवर ट्रांसप्लांट करके हमारी उम्मीदें जिंदा रखीं।
Dr. Rao aur unki team itni supportive thi ki ek parent ki tarah care kari. Thank you for saving my child’s life.
ನಮ್ಮ ಮಗ ಆದಿತ್ಯಗೆ ಬಿಲಿಯರಿ ಅಟ್ರೇಶಿಯಾ ಪತ್ತೆಯಾಯಿತು. ಡಾ. ಸಂಜಯ್ ರಾವ್ ಅವರ ಸಮಯೋಚಿತ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆಯಿಂದ ಆದಿತ್ಯ ಈಗ ಆರೋಗ್ಯವಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅವರ ಪ್ರಜ್ಞೆ ಮತ್ತು ಸಹಾನುಭೂತಿ ನಮಗೆ ತುಂಬಾ ಆಶೆ ನೀಡಿತು.
Dr. Rao saved my son with acute liver failure. Grateful.
हमारी बेटी पायल को हेपेटाइटिस के कारण लिवर ट्रांसप्लांट की जरूरत थी। डॉ. संजय राव की मदद से सब ठीक हुआ।
