I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude to the amazing staff at Fortis Hospital, Mulund. Needless to say, Dr Mohan Koppikar and his team, including Dr Apoorva, were excellent and my father’s surgery went on as planned. Heartfelt thanks to floor manager Mr Omkar Gaikwad who would spend some time inquiring about our comfort daily despite his tight schedule, which made us feel welcome and comfortable during our stay at the hospital. Thank you very much, everyone!
