When the slab suddenly fell on us while we were sleeping on the floor at midnight, I was terrified. But your calm words, gentle approach, and encouragement made me feel safe and hopeful. You not only treated my injuries—you healed my fear too. I will always recommend you, not just for your skill, but for the compassion you show.

He assured us that my father’s face would look flawless after the procedure, and true to his word, no one can tell that he underwent surgery. My entire family is indebted to his care and professionalism. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors and pray that his passion for his work continues to shine.
