We recently underwent an oncology-related stoma surgery at D. Y. Patil Hospital, and our experience was truly excellent. A special thanks to the Dr Manoj Dongare sir, who was extremely kind, professional, highly skilled, and knowledgeable. His expertise and confidence throughout the entire process gave us great reassurance. The surgery was performed very well, and we are extremely happy with the outcome. One thing that particularly impressed us was that the patient did not require ICU care after the surgery, which gave us even more confidence in the overall surgical management. We also received treatment under the PM-JAY (Ayushman Bharat) scheme, which made the treatment much more affordable compared with the costs we would have faced at a private hospital. We are sincerely grateful to the doctor, the nursing staff, and the entire D. Y. Patil Hospital team for their care, professionalism, and support. Highly recommended for their expertise, compassionate care, and excellent surgical treatment. 🙏
