Planning on having surgery soon? Or cancer treatment? Just want to know where to get help in case your family has an emergency? In any case, you want to know which hospital is best and nearest to you. Many sites now rate hospitals. Knowing how they're set up and understanding what you can rely on them for -- and not -- is key to using them successfully.

My uncle had quite extensive surgery under Dr. Praveen R, the care given by the ward 25 nurses team before surgery and ward 6 nurses team after surgery was exceptionally very good. Each nurse within the team was very kind, caring and professional. Special thanks to the admin clerk who helped to get the private room. A big thanks to Dr Praveen R for clearly explaining until we understand the process and the care given to my uncle. Very good experience overall. Big thanks to GKNMH team.
