I had cataract surgery for both eyes recently at Bhaskar eye care on Ghodbhunder road. Dr Nikhil Negalur and his team were very polite, supportive and caring. I was very impressed by their willingness to answer all my questions. Dr Nikhil took the time to call me after the surgery to see how I was doing - I sincerely appreciate this personal attention. Even during the surgery he made sure that I was comfortable. Ms Vaibhavi was also very kind and patient in clarifying doubts. Right from the people at the reception desk, to the doctors and even the service staff, all the people here provide the best care possible. I wish them success in all they do and may they scale greater heights.
