Visited For Gall Bladder (Biliary) Stone Treatment
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
It's hard to digest that simple gall bladder stone removal can end up with so many complications.
But after multiple follow up/ research/ hearing from few other case we learnt destiny have other plan for us.
Early this year we underwent with gall bladder stone removal surgery where it ended with perforation.
It's a life threatening complications where most of the patients loose there strength.
We ended up 5 month of hospitalization complete nill by mouth ( no food and water for 4 month)
Every day it was a emergency care situation.
However I never thought that such good doctor still exits. Apart from good doctor he is good human being , And cared us/ guided us in all steps like a family member.
I would not lie but I too lost hope and went to Hyderabad for better consultation however I soon realised that there will be no magic that can be done.
I have never seen a doctor who will support you even if you are not visiting him or his hospital.
However he supported us / directly in contact of one of most renowned doctor of Hyderabad hospital.
Self evaluated /guided /recommended Hyderabad doctor. It seems like we are in other hospital but still in construction of Abhijeet sir.
Eventually my wife got completely cured only when we came back to him.
He bet and challenge that his nature is like he will support you and will not leave you in middle of road,till you are not completely cured even if you are not directly in contact with him.
It's very hard to get such a kind human being in today's world.
He just not help me but also helping all needy people ( contacted for my cook's daughter)in the society in where ever and whatever help he can provide.
If you are in need he will be available in middle of the night.
It's very hard to narrate in words here what he did for us I will just say ,my wife got a another life only because of him.
I pray to get all success and height in you life 🙏
