Had a surgery here done by Dr Vijaya Shankar. Dr was compassionate, knowledgeable, attentive to the patient. All the nurses from Sakura Ward were kind and friendly. Asna from dietitian was also very kind and knowledgeable on what i can eat after surgery. I’m glad that I chose KPJ to get treatment from.
