मी वनिता विशाल भालेराव, डॉ. मोहिते मॅडमचे मनःपूर्वक आभार मानते.
आज मी आई होण्याचे सुख उपभोगत आहे ते फक्त मॅडममुळेच. सहा वर्षे मला गर्भधारणा होत नव्हती, पण मॅडमचा सल्ला मी ऐकला आणि मला खूप छान बाळ मिळाले. खूप चांगले उपचार मिळाले.
बेबी हातात येईपर्यंत मॅडम स्वतः उपस्थित होत्या. ऑपरेशन थिएटरमध्ये मॅडमला पाहून माझी भीती दूर झाली.
स्टाफसुद्धा खूप काळजी घेणारा आहे. सर्व स्टाफचे मनःपूर्वक आभार.
