βAfter completing ovarian cancer chemotherapy, genetic testing by Dr. Neha Gupta revealed a BRCA gene mutation. She placed me on oral Olaparib maintenance tablets at home. My CA-125 is completely normal at 8 U/mL and my scans show zero evidence of disease after 2 years!β
Faridkot β Verified Recovery
βAn L5-S1 disc herniation caused shooting electric pain down my left leg, leaving me unable to stand straight for 2 months. Dr. Deepak Garg performed Micro-Endoscopic Discectomy through a 16mm keyhole port without any spinal fusion or screws. The shooting pain disappeared immediately upon waking up, and I was discharged the next morning!β
Bathinda β Verified Recovery
βWhen diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer, I was terrified of chemotherapy nausea and hair loss. Dr. Neha Gupta's daycare unit used a chemoport and scalp-cooling caps. I had zero vomiting, walked out each afternoon to sleep in my own bed, and completed targeted Trastuzumab with complete cancer clearance!β
Sirsa β Verified Recovery
