Meet Dr. Suresh Nair

“We utilize the minimally invasive robotic approach to surgeries that help women conceive. Robotic surgery is optimal in reproductive surgeries as it is less painful, offers smaller incisions; thus very minimal scaring, and provides for faster recovery time, which means an earlier return to normal activities.”

English, Bahasa Indonesia
