Many thanks to NU hospital Rajajinagar and specially to Dr. Anant Kamat, Dr. Prasanna Venkatesh and Dr. Krishna Prasad. My son Swastik was complaining left stomach pain from last 1 year. But the pain was not continues. When I did an ultrasound sound of his lower abdomen. We got to know that his left kidney was showlen and quite larger than the right one. I visited one doctor from a reputed hospital in Bangalore and he spent only two minutes and after some test he asked me to come to hospital when he will have the pain again. It was not at all satisfactory to me. Then I went to Anant sir at NU hospital. He spent around half an hour with me and explained the problem really clear and crystal. He referred me to Prasanna sir for further consultation. After consulting with Prasanna sir my son went for a laproscopic pyloplasty surgery and the way the doctors and staffs treated my him was quite nice and they made everything so easy. Thank you sir for your treatment. I really great full to you.
