We had a good experience visiting UMSC starting from registration counter, consulting with doctor and admission/discharge etc. We met with Professor Dr Sanjiv Mahadeva and he is very reasonable and nice guy. The staff working there is quite good, wards are neat and clean. I feel this hospital is much better compare to any other private hospital for any kind of medical treatment. The only downside I can see is that doctors are not available in OPD everyday- mostly twice or trice in a week only.
