PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
I have been blessed with a SECOND LIFE – my all time BIG thanks to the Integrated Liver Care, Chennai. Now I am medically fit, leading a normal and active Aviation professional career.
At the age of 69, I was diagnosed as having infected Sigmoid Diverticulites. I was recommended to meet the surgeon Dr Anand Ramamoorthy of ILC. The surgery itself was like a cake walk and I recovered well under his patient care. The pain was minimal and the pain killer tablets were prescribed only for a few days.
