"We were devastated when we learned about my wife's tumor on August 15th, and many doctors told us the surgery was too critical to perform. Dr. Sunil V Furtado became our ray of hope. He gave us immense courage, took personal charge, and performed the surgery successfully at Manipal Hospital, even helping us with a discount. Today, my wife is walking and doing great. Even forty days later, he continues to personally monitor her radiation treatment and offers unwavering support. He is not just an exceptional doctor, but a compassionate person who feels like a trusted friend who gives us courage every time we meet."

Dr. Sunil Furtado is the best thing that could have happened to us when a neuro problem hit my husband. My family and I would recommend him highly for the below experience we have had with him -

* He took time to explain the problem, possible next steps and the reason for picking the course of action he did.
* Very friendly with patients and demonstrates high levels of patience with questions.
* *** ******* ******* *** ********** (which we were confident about based on what he had heard about him from others).
* Even when he had to be out of station, he left the patient in the safe hands of his colleagues. There was continuity in our conversation with his team doctors too when Dr. Furtado wasn’t around.
* When the patient had to travel outside the country after surgery, he gave us ample precautionary measures and educated us on different drug restrictions in other countries. Highly engaged even after the surgery.
* Way more valuable treatment / service compared to the money we had to pay!
