TESTIMONIALS

Dr. Rohan is very helpful and has nurturing nature. I am very much pleased to get diagnosed by him. I would recommend him for advice, as meeting him was a real relief to my problem.

Best regards
Gaurav

Gaurav Kumar Singh

Dr Rohan is an exceptional person who is readily always available for any advice/consultation. His advice is prompt and service unparalleled & attends to all problems instantly. Even though I am (daughter) far away from my dad, due to my pre-occupations with my official work, I have never felt the distance with Dr. Rohan who is available almost any time of the day for watsapp consultation even in odd timings.
The post-transplant recovery phase is a critical phase which requires regular follow ups and the need for regular visits to hospitals for check-ups could be avoided as almost all issues are satisfactorily addressed though whatsapp by Dr Rohan. This is not only convenient for the patient party but has been extremely helpful especially during COVID times. Frequent consultation/reports is highly required for transplant patients especially in the first 3/4 months and Dr Rohan fulfills all our requirements during this critical phase.
I and my family are extremely thankful to him for his prompt & timely advices whenever in need.
God Bless & keep doing the good work 👍

Dr. Rohan is an extremely supportive doctor. I’m a post liver transplant patient and I contracted COVID in April. Dr. Rohan guided me throughout the process with directions on how I can properly take care and isolate myself at home. Even when my oxygen level went low, he calmly explained what to do and assured us there’s nothing to panic about. He has always been quick to respond to my queries. I am thankful to his guidance throughout this period. I appreciate his work and for always taking the time to respond to his patients. Thank you, Sir

Thankyou for your time and expertise

Mrs. Manu DJ Singh

A team of good doctors which have good experience at their work.

Rohan agrawal

I have been associated with Dr Rohan since 2018. I remember the time when i was on the edge of death due to liver failure. Also having a transplant was so much difficult for me and my family to accept, but we had no other options left. Also when so much was going and you have so much of doubts regarding life after transplant, you just don’t need a consultant or Doctor who will handle the surgery part but also a kind of friend or a guide who will handle your emotional quotient, your family questions etc. Dr Rohan did that role for me, and guided throughout. He is the perfect combination of caring, informed, driven, and professional. Highly, highly recommended.
