Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to express my special thanks and appreciation to Dr Somas. This wasn't my first time to the hospital, I've consulted many other doctors but this was my first time seeing Dr Somas and I am thankful to have him as my treating doctor. Dr Somas explained things to me in a manner that I could understand and listened to me and addressed my concerns without me feeling rushed. Dr Somas has great communication skills and is a great listener as well. Dr Somas is people oriented doctor, approachable, candid, warm, humorous, friendly, compassionate, caring, very knowledgeable and empathetic doctor, as well as a very experienced doctor. I can ask any questions and he takes the time to make sure I understand the illness and the treatment. Dr Somas is a great Gynaecologist and my doubts have been all cleared up. Dr Somas is as easier to talk to than any other Doctors I have ever had a conversation with. “It was the best decision I made and I would highly recommend friends and family “ Thank you Sincerely from my heart Sharmila Shazy

Dear Dr. Somas, My journey started by finding a good gynae, after many positive and great feedback from people around me, I decided to make a visit. You helped clear my doubts from pre pregnancy till the last appt with you today. So far a gynaecologist is a specialist we meet every month for 9 months. It's a routine we follow monthly, remembering the appt dates by heart.You calm us by being positive and motivating us throughout our journey. Your such a warm and friendly person. Even during my admission there, you frequently visited me and motivated me. It was such a lovely gesture. The nurses at the clinic are great and always helpful when in doubt. During delivery, the maternity nurses at ward and labour room were so supportive as this was my first experience. From Kaalindran & Dinaashinni
