"I am very thankful to Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, Okhla Road, New Delhi, India. My first open heart surgery was done in 2010, during which both my heart valves were changed. and in 2022 I underwent my second open heart surgery, including mitral valve replacement. I am extremely grateful to Dr. K. S. Iyer and his entire team for their excellent treatment, experience, and care. Going through open heart surgery twice is not easy, but their confidence, support, and professionalism gave me strength and hope. I really appreciate the doctors, nurses, and staff. Fortis Escorts truly gave me a new life. Highly recommended."

"We recently visited Fortis Escorts for CABG surgery, and by God’s grace, the surgery was successful. We are truly thankful for the excellent support provided by the doctors, nursing staff, and PCS team. Special appreciation to Ms. Soni Latwal for her exceptional guidance and support. During such stressful times, patients and attendants are often very anxious and find it difficult to understand the process. However, when we came for the estimate, Ms. Soni explained everything clearly and patiently. She not only guided us financially but also provided mental and emotional support with a very positive attitude. Her kindness, clarity, and professionalism made a big difference in our experience. Highly appreciate her efforts and the overall care at Fortis Escorts."

"Good natured, qualified specialist doctors in oncology department with ability to discuss serious matters in a calm and soothing manner. The doctors provided detailed explanations to patient’s queries and treatment as per need of the patient. This creates a very conducive environment for the patient to feel better. Really appreciate Dr Huma Noor and Dr Imran for their constant efforts to support in all aspects to the patients for fast recovery. Dr Huma Noor is quick to revert back as well in case of queries related to patient’s diet, medication along with oncology care. Mr. Asif has also helped us tremendously with the smooth functioning of the process."

"My name is Marat. I was a patient from Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 and I underwent a liver transplant. I want to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Mohd Qaleem 🩺 for his professionalism and the excellent liver transplant surgery. He saved my life ❤️‍🩹. May the Almighty Allah bless him and be pleased with him 🤲. My special thanks also go to the nurses and medical staff 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️. After the surgery, during my time in the ICU, every day with each shift I found not just nurses, but friends 🤝. Everyone was friendly, responsible, quick, and understanding. We talked a lot in English 💬, and it helped me forget about my illness. I also want to express my sincere appreciation to my friend Mohammad Moin Moh 🙏. He was the one who helped me stand up, get out of bed, and start walking again 🚶‍♂️. I respect him deeply. He was always by my side, even when it wasn’t his shift — and also his friend Ramza 🌟. Amazing people. They have become my friends ❤️. There are also other nurses whose names I can’t recall, but they too were kind, attentive, fast, and responsible during their shifts, treating me like a friend 🌼. My thanks to all the nurses. 🫶"
