Posted on Google Pravin KhadeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hello, my name is Pravin Khade, a resident of Hupari. Four years ago, my father was diagnosed with cancer. Just a year ago, my mother died of a heart attack. Now my father has cancer. It had reached the fourth stage. But after that, we started treatment with Dr. Akshay Shivchhand. Gradually, my father started getting rid of this cancer. Now four years have passed. My father is cancer free and he is now living his daily life and working. The meaning of the association is that those who have cancer should not have any fear in their hearts and should get diagnosed and start treatment at Dr. Akshay Shivchhand's cura life cancer center and live a cancer free and happy life.Posted on Google Datta PatilTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. मूळ आजाराचा शोध घेऊन तो पेशंट व नातेवाईकांना समजावून सांगून त्यावरती योग्य दिशेने इलाज करण्याचे कौशल्य डॉ. अक्षय शिवछंद सरांच्याकडे आहे; तसेच रोगी आणि नातेवाईक यांना आधार कसा द्यायचा याविषयी त्यांच्याकडे खूप सौहार्दाची भूमिका आहे. याबरोबर त्यांचे सर्व कर्मचारी हेसुद्धा सौहार्दाने वागतात.Posted on Google sambhaji patilTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
