About Mr Sachin Wadekar's Son Treatment & Recovery
Mr Sachin Wadekar from Sangamner brought his 8-month-old son to Medicover Hospitals, Nashik, after initial tests revealed a congenital heart defect. Upon consultation with Dr Pranav Mali, Consultant Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgeon (Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery), the child was admitted for immediate evaluation. A corrective Congenital Heart Disease Surgery was successfully performed, restoring the baby's heart function and ensuring healthy recovery. The child is now stable and healthy, bringing relief and happiness to the family.
Patient's Father's Words
"My name is Sachin Wadekar, and I am from Sangamner. When doctors first checked my baby, they advised us to get a 2D Echo, and that's when we got to know he had a heart problem.
One of my relatives suggested consulting Dr Pranav Mali at Medicover Hospitals, Nashik. After meeting him, we admitted our son immediately and the treatment started without delay. The surgery was done successfully, and now my son is fine.
I am grateful to the doctor and the entire hospital team for their timely support and care."
