I am highly grateful to the team Paras Hospital and its wonderful doctors for relieving me of this intense pain and inconvenience I had been suffering for long. I had these positive vibes and hope since the day I came to Paras that I may be soon cured. The doctors have given high priority to my case and been very thoughtful to plan my treatment.
