We had a very good experience with Dr. Kirti Prajapati sir. Our 1-year-old baby had a cyst near the nose, and as parents, we were extremely worried. But Dr. Kirti sir calmly explained everything and his confidence immediately made us feel at ease. The surgery went perfectly, and there is no visible scar left at all. We are truly thankful to him from the bottom of our hearts for his excellent care and expertise.
