Dr. Kamal Verma

When our 7-year-old Leo was diagnosed with leukemia, Dr. Verma became our anchor. He'd kneel to talk directly to Leo about 'fighting the bad cells' and created a superhero chart tracking his progress. During the toughest chemo days, he'd arrive with dinosaur stickers. Three years in remission now, and Leo still draws pictures for 'his doctor.'

Rushed to Artemis with acute myeloid leukemia complications at 2 AM, I was terrified. Dr. Verma arrived within 20 minutes, still adjusting his tie but completely focused. His calm decisiveness during the emergency stem cell transplant preparation—coordinating multiple specialists while explaining each step to my panicked wife—saved my life that night.

As a breast cancer survivor coming for my 5-year follow-up, I expected a quick checkup. Instead, Dr. Verma noticed subtle changes in my latest scans others might have missed. His persistence in ordering additional tests revealed early recurrence, allowing for minimally invasive treatment instead of major surgery. This man sees what others don't.

My construction business meant I kept postponing my prostate cancer treatment. Dr. Verma didn't scold—he redesigned my entire treatment schedule around my work commitments, even taking my late-night calls after site visits. His flexibility while maintaining medical rigor got me through radiation without losing a single contract.

My 82-year-old father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer after months of unexplained weight loss. Dr. Verma sat with our entire family for an hour, explaining treatment options in simple terms while never dismissing our fears. His unconventional approach combining targeted therapy with palliative care gave Dad quality months we never expected—including attending his granddaughter's wedding.
