Thank you very much, sir. My name is Afsal. Yesterday I underwent an endoscopic spine surgery. I’m feeling much better now. Thank you, sir—your service was excellent. I’m very grateful for giving me this opportunity to recover, as I need to take three months of bed rest.

വളരെ നല്ല പരിചയസമ്പത്തുള്ളതും രോഗികളോട് സൗഹൃദപരമായ സമീപനം പുലർത്തുന്ന ഒരു മികച്ച ന്യൂറോസർജൻ ആണ്. രോഗികളുടെ പ്രശ്നങ്ങൾ ശ്രദ്ധയോടെ കേട്ട് ചികിത്സയെക്കുറിച്ച് ലളിതമായി വിശദീകരിക്കുകയും രോഗികൾക്ക് ആത്മവിശ്വാസവും ആശ്വാസവും നൽകുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു.
