*** *********** ** ***** *** **** ** *** ****** *** * *** **** ******* *********** When we were trying to figure out who to consult, his name came up again and again, and now I completely understand why. Calling him an expert almost feels like an understatement.
Despite what must be an incredibly demanding schedule, he was present at every consultation, making sure my mother received the **** possible care. What really stood out was not just *** ********** *** the way he treated us as people. He made it easy to ask questions, never made us feel dismissed, and carried a sense of warmth and patience that you don’t often come across, especially at that level of experience.
He and his entire team created an environment where we felt supported from day one. He understood the shock and fear that comes with a diagnosis like this, not just for the patient but for the entire family. The way they guided us through it, with so much empathy and clarity, is something we will never forget.
The moment he took over the case, a huge part of our worry eased. We just knew we were in the right place *** ** *** **** ******** ****** Dr. Somashekhar, his incredible team, and Dr. Nashi made what is usually a very overwhelming and frightening process feel as smooth and manageable as it could possibly be. That kind of care is rare.
If you’re considering him, you really don’t need to think twice. *** **** ** ** *** **** ***** ********* My family and I will always be deeply grateful for the care, support, and compassion they showed us during one of the toughest times in our lives.
We decided to take cancer treatment in AsterCMI by confirming that Prof. Dr. Somashekhar S P ** ******* *** ******** ******** **** ** ******** ****** ****** ********** As we got very good feedback about him from our family circle. He is One of Well-known and experienced doctor in Medical Oncologist. He is down to earth person. He helps the patient to understand and keep the patient more positive. He is very trustable *** ************* doctor I ever seen. More than that he is more supportive and see the issue getting address at patient utmost satisfaction. I see him always active. We like to continue the treatment with you dr. God bless you Dr Somashekhar S P
First of all let me tell you , ** ** *** **** ********** ******* *** ** ******* * When you think of celebs going to outside countries for cancer treatment, here we have the best international level treatment by the one & only Dr Somashekar SP . My husband was detected with stage 111 rectal cancer & he advised us chemo & radiation post which my hubby was later assessed & only residual disease was left . I have complete trust in him * ** ** *** **** **** ** **** ** ***** **

He is a good doctor but be prepared to spent atleast 5 hours of your time in a day .getting his appointment is easy but doctor to see the patient , they will make you wait atleast 5 hours. They will say he is coming and coming but they will make you sit and after long waiting and fighting then only he will see the patients . It is so time taking specially in white field hospital. They do not bother about patients and looks like the
Hi, We approached Dr. Somashekar for my Sister having reported for abdomen pain with the necessary reports. We met Dr. Somashekhar and Ms. Maria who was kind enough.
