Dr. Himanshu performed my mother-in-law's cataract surgery. He is an exceptionally humble and skilled doctor who listens to his patients' concerns with great patience and care. Since she also had some nerve distortion in her eye, the most suitable lens was carefully recommended for her condition. Dr. Ramya and Dr. Ankita conducted a thorough retinal examination prior to the surgery to identify the underlying cause of her blurred vision. Throughout the entire process, the team maintained complete transparency, which was truly reassuring.
