My father was suffering from kidney cancer and the doctor we were consulting before could not help much. My friend had suggested for me to visit the CK Birla Hospital for excellent cancer care. My father received comprehensive treatment in a very compassionate way. My father is recovering now and we still visit the hospital for follow-up care. Every visit is a great experience. The staff is very nice and cooperative and the services are first-class. I totally recommend the hospital to everyone with kidney cancer.
