TESTIMONIALS
“It matters what people say about us“
PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
Highly Recommended Spine Specialist – Dr. Vishnu Prasad at SKS Hospital,
We recently visited SKS Hospital for my wife’s treatment due to a disc bulge. Based on a relative’s recommendation, we consulted Dr. Vishnu Prasad, and from our very first visit, we were extremely satisfied with his approach.
Despite surgery being the most effective option, we were hesitant to proceed. Dr. Vishnu Prasad never pressured us into it; instead, he patiently explored non-surgical treatments, including physiotherapy and medication. His approach worked remarkably well, and my wife has now recovered nearly 80% without surgery.
Dr. Vishnu Prasad is a rare find—genuine, compassionate, and truly dedicated to his patients’ well-being. If you or your loved ones have any spine-related issues, I highly recommend consulting him without hesitation.
The oldest multispecialty hospital in Salem is SKS Hospital. Having started out with just 85 beds in 1987, we now have over 225 beds and provide top-notch primary, secondary, and tertiary care services for all specializations.
