Visited Dr. Balamourougane P (Pediatric Surgeon)
*** ************** * ** *** ** *** **** ********* ******* ** ****** This story is about my 6 Weeks infant who have been diagnosed with huge mass (Tumor) inside tummy which need be operated immediately, so I came to Chennai from Kolkata having faith and trust over the Doctor. The baby has been admitted to emergency and all the required test's completed within same day. On the very next day Dr. Balamourougane have convinced me so that I allow him for the surgery.
For a moment I have lost all the hopes as the baby's age was only 42 days but I was wrong, as Dr have successfully operated the surgery with his team and baby is doing quite well. He had made all the arrangements like high risk surgery before the procedure but after surgery I came to know that there is no blood loss and no blood infusion was done. The surgery took around 3 hours.
I can conclude that keeping faith and trusting like God over the Dr. Balamourougane is worth. I heartily thank doctor for this blessings on my baby.

Dr. Dr. Dhanasekhar Kesavelu is incredible. Not only has he taken great care of my daughter health, but also he is lovely to speak with at every appointment. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care. I highly recommend becoming his patient.

We visited local doctors they given some mdicines but the problem was same, I took my daughter nearest city to my town There Doctros done scanning, x-ray and they suggested some medicines and told if it is not clear may be need to go for surgery and they suspected “Hirschsprung's disease”.
