I am the daughter and attending relative of the patient Mr Bhattacharya. Our family physician had advised to have his surgery by the eminent surgeon Dr. Mohan Koppikar and this is how we came to Fortis hospital Mulund. Needless to say that Dr Koppikar and his team including Dr. Apoorva were excellent and the surgery went on as planned. We were made to feel very welcome and comfortable during our stay at the hospital by the floor manager Mr. Omkar Gaikwad who assured us that he was available any time in case of any difficulties. It was reassuring to know that there was someone looking out for us in time of our difficulty. Mr. Omkar would spend some time inquiring about our comfort daily even though he has a very tight schedule and we looked forward to these interactions. I hope to express my appreciation and gratitude to these wonderful people and hope that the management of the hospital will pass on our positive feedback as an encouragement to them in their challenging duties. Thank you.
