Patient Experience

I had a triple bypass surgery done on 21st September 2023… Hospital services were outstanding. Dr Raguram did the surgery, and Dr Manoj did the angio prior to the surgery…Both were very professional and nice to interact with…Their secretaries Rizwana was also very cooperative and pleasant to interact with…I would certainly recommend Kauvery hospital for any treatment….
