How likely are you to recommend Dr. Babu?
There really aren't adequate words to describe what a ifesaver and the finest of cardiac surgeons that Dr. Babu is. He saved my husbands life by performing a 6 bypass on him. He explained everything about the surgery to us and listened to our concerns, especially mine being the wife, I was pretty freaked out. Dr Babu does so many big surgeries every day and performs miracles. We were so blessed to have him as our surgeon. Thank god for him and his knowledge and skills.
