Patient Experience
“I was thoroughly impressed. Neat, clean and hygienic house keeping all areas within the hospital and rooms in Day care. Competent compassionate and friendly doctors attended to me. The staff – viz secretaries, attenders, nurses and other staff down the line – appeared well motivated and happy overall. I did talk to many down the line, no cribs or grouses. Your HR dept seems to be doing very well. Over all an excellent hospital experience. The best part — it didn’t make me feel as if I was in hospital! The usual smell associated with a hospital was totally absent. Well done Kauvery, keep it up and rise to greater heights of Patient care.”
– H.T
