gastrointestinal cancer

Dr Puneet Dhar.... I fall short of words while writing about him. He is the best doctor, very competent, and a skilled professional. He is thorough with his examination and detailed explanation. More than that he is a very good human being. He explained all the pros and cons before my surgical procedure, which made me feel comfortable. Never met a doc who is so approachable

It really was my good luck that I landed up at Amrita Hospital, Faridabad. It truly is the best hospital I've come across. The ambience, the polite, courteous and efficient staff, providing round the clock care is unbelievable. They made me feel well-cared for and comfortable.

All the best to Dr Puneet Dhar and his entire team.

The best we have ever seen. Knowledgeable with an urge to explain everything in detail, soft spoken, always smiling. The best in this field.
In fact, Dr. Puneet can be a role model for other doctors.
Our sincere thanks to Dr. Puneet and his team.

"Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man’s ingratitude;
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remembered not"

I would highly recommend Puneet sir and his team at Amrita for any issues related to GI.

My sincere gratitude and appreciation for Dr Dhar for helping my father and family through a very difficult time. Goes without saying that he is an excellent doctor but more importantly an amazing human being. He guided and counselled us through every step of the very complicated esophagotomy surgery. Proactively shared regular updates to ensure the patient and family are at ease. I wish more doctors could learn and behave like him. Highly recommended!

Dr. Puneet Dhar , the best GI surgeon ever. He gave complete clarity of the problem. Explained all the pros and cons of each choice available to me. He’s extremely good and I completely trust his diagnosis.
He had a very friendly and layman way of explaining the problem. Nowadays in times of doctors being money making machines, we need doctors like Dr. Puneet where in you are getting the treatment and help that you desire and expect.

Totally recommend anyone to consult him for any gastrointestinal problems. He’s the best!
