People who gave second life to by wife are like God to me. If I don’t name, the supporting staff who took utmost care of my wife there it will not be fair. The staff in the Critical Care Unit and the supporting staff taking care of Deluxe ward service was most cooperative, fully responsive, extremely polite and prompt too. Not to forget that management behind all this in also appreciable and perfect too. One may say that whatever doctors did was their duty, well it’s true. But what is special is that, their positive attitude, willingness they have, proper and prompt service they give, care they take and their proactive approach is adorable which I have seen rarely. Now I can say that my wife was in good, perfect and safe hands. My stay in Orange City Hospital has many positive memories. I wish to give special thanks to Dr. Anup Marar, Dr. Mukund Thakur and Dr. Rajesh Atal for the splendid and great job they did. I wish them the brightest of future and good luck to Orange City Hospital and their chairman Udaybhaskar Nair and the whole management.
