His Motto

Dr. Amit Agarwal firmly believes that the most important part of a surgical team's job is to make the experience of the patients as stress free as possible. His team understands the physical as well as mental stress that is associated with even a minor surgery. They understand that this stress extends not only to the patient but also to the family. That is why Dr. Amit ensures that his team works great deal to relieve the stress of the patient and family to as much extent as possible.

This involves the pre operative counseling of the patient along with his family. Proper optimization of all required parameters before surgery is very important for his team. All measures are taken for the smooth running of the operation process. In the post operative phase Dr. Amit likes to be around his patients as much as possible to answer to all their needs and queries. He takes great pains so that none of his patients or family members of patients should feel neglected or left alone.
