My mother was suffering for advanced stage Lung Cancer and it reached to a point where there were multiple other complications started happening. While we lost my mother as medically only so much could be done at that stage but Dr Mekha was a great help. He has always been available to address any query both in the Hospital as well as over phone. He was upright in letting us know the situation while also continue to try the best of medicines. He was our true a “Family Doctor” for us and I must say I can’t thank him enough for his availability and support! I would highly recommend him to anyone!!
