Dr Dilip is a brilliant doctor and a very good human being. I have had a Right Radical nephrectomy in January 2014 and have been visiting Dr Dilip and Dr Manish regularly for follow up. They are always willing to listen to you with a smile and always ready to help / advise. I am very very happy with the way I have received treatment, as I undergo a cystoscopy and tests every 3 months in the first year. Every 6 months in year 2 and 3 and thereafter I have been doing it yearly. I am Very satisfied and living a normal healthy life thanks to Dr Manish, Dr Dilip and foremost Dr Venkatesh Murthy, and not forgetting the friendly staff they have there. Have been recommending and will continue recommending NU Hospital to my friends and contacts who need medical help.
