I liked the approach of Dr Kuldeep Kumar at the CK Birla Hospital. Before my thoracoscopy, he made sure to have a detailed discussion with me. He helped me understand everything and know possible risks. He was very supportive and caring. His team was always giving me positivity and confidence about the surgery. I had a good experience overall.
