“I was admitted for a D&C procedure due to my miscarriage. I did not experience any pain after the procedure. I felt very safe throughout my stay, and everyone was extremely kind. Every procedure was carried out smoothly and with great care. My special thanks go to Dr. Nithya Shyam—she was very kind and compassionate. I would also like to thank the entire team who took such good care of me. And Nurse Poongavanam was very kind, care and sweet. Thank you to her as well.”
