A Heartfelt Thank You to the NICU Team at Dr. Mehta's Hospital, Chetpet There are moments in life when words feel too small for the gratitude you carry — this is one of those moments for our family. Our premature twin boys were held in the loving care of the NICU team. Ours was a journey that carried both joy and heartbreak — one of our precious sons became our angel along the way, and he remains forever in our hearts. Through it all, Dr. Arun Krishnan and the duty doctors — Dr. Sumanth, Dr. Parthiban, Dr. Avishek, Dr. Vijay, Dr. Aarthi, and Dr. Punitha — surrounded our boys with such tenderness, skill, and honesty. Our heartfelt thanks also to the staff nurses who cared for them like their own — Juliana, Beena Saji, Chithra, Shanmuga, Riya, Preethi, Roshini, Anju, Hemavathi, Sowbakiya, Soundarya, Agasri, Priyanka, Yogalakshmi, Deepika, and Lissa — and to the many other hands and hearts whose names we may not have caught, but whose faces and kindness we will never forget. It is because of their unwavering care that we brought our son home, safe and thriving. We are deeply, forever grateful to this team. Thank you for giving our son his first, hardest-won victory — and for giving us back our peace.Posted on Google Saravanan VidhyaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
