Dr. R. Kishore Kumar

*When I was 30 weeks, unexpectedly I had to deliver. Dr. Kishore Kumar had to do my delivery at midnight 12 O'clock. I was here in the hospital for 47 days and my baby was in the NICU for 32 days. All the doctors, including Dr. Nandini, Dr. Girish and Dr. Kishore Kumar were very cooperative and treated the baby very well. They took good care of us. Thank you".

We have been associated with Cloudnine for the last six years. This time we came in emergency with my daughter's breathing problem. She got immediate attention and shifted to the ICU. The entire team of doctor's, nurse's and everyone took immense care of her and she's well today. I would like to give special thanks to Dr. Mahesh and Dr. R Kishore Kumar, who have been there to make her well.
