Congenital heart defect

My daughter's congenital heart defect was detected while she was still in the womb. After birth, she was in the intensive care unit. When we came for a consultation, the doctor received us warmly and explained everything about my daughter's condition in detail. At the age of 4 months, the doctor performed surgery to close the ventricular septal defect (VSD). The whole process went smoothly due to his experience, kindness and confidence in his actions. I thank God for such wonderful doctors.

The doctor was always on call, paying attention to the patients and answering all our questions. I recommend all parents looking for a doctor for their children to contact Dr. Khalil. He is a true angel sent to us by God.
