It is one of the best hospitals for gastric problems, the staff is humble, service is good. My dad is getting treated by Harsh Sir, whenever we came here on regular check-ups or emergencies he has treated him according to the situation. Once we entered the premises of the hospital they just took over all your stress by doing what they do best. I will recommend to everyone with any gastric problem that this is your go-to place in an emergency.
