After my complex spine surgery, follow-up MRIs were crucial. Dr. Das remembered my case from previous visits and compared images meticulously, pointing out subtle improvements others might miss. His detailed analysis gave me confidence in my recovery journey.
I came for a routine mammogram and left feeling genuinely cared for. Dr. Das noticed my nervousness and spent extra time explaining how the machine works and why each compression mattered. Turned a clinical procedure into an educational experience.
