My dad was admitted to MGM...
My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
