Patient Testimonials

My "stars lined up", the moment I met Dr. Hemant, after being referred to him, as the best liver surgeon. From the moment I met my "hero", I was put at ease, and was confident with each step of the process.
My surgery went very well without complication, and my recovery was painless and simple. Thank you, Dr. Hemant, for making a worrying experience very simple, calm and painless.
Dr. Hemant was excellent in my initial appointment, listening to what I had to say and explaining his thoughts clearly. I felt reassured that I was in safe, knowledgeable and experienced hands. I left with a clear plan and good understanding.
