Modern infrastructure, advanced treatment technologies and a high standard of medical care. A very strong support system, a warm and caring atmosphere; the doctors and staff are sincerely interested in their patients.
With such a level of service, the cost does not seem high at all. Dr. Raghu, Dr. Mohit, Dr. Sameer Bhate and Dr. Aarti are true professionals.
I was very impressed!

He explained everything so clearly that we decided to go ahead with the operation. Dr. Sameer Bhate, the head of cardiac surgery, was also called in; he explained everything in the same level of detail and confirmed that surgery was the only option. We trusted him completely.
The next day I had severe pains (angina), and Dr. Bhate quickly transferred me to the department and arranged emergency surgery. The operation was successful on 28/01/2025; I now feel well and am confident that I will soon return to a normal life.
Special thanks to the medical staff for their professional care, thanks to which I was discharged quickly.

Special thanks to Dr. Sameer Bhate — his skill, experience and calm support helped us get through this difficult period with confidence and hope. His dedication and care for patients are truly impressive.
We would also like to mention manager Vinod for his attentiveness and help at every stage, the doctor's team member Lipika for her constant support and communication with us, and the entire medical staff for their care, patience and professionalism.
Thanks to their work the recovery was comfortable and the atmosphere in the hospital was as close to home as possible. We are sincerely grateful to the entire team for their work and attitude.

Amrita Hospital in Faridabad is one of the largest private tertiary hospitals in Northern India and is part of the international Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham network. It opened in 2022 and has more than 2,600 beds.
For open heart operations the hospital has a dedicated department of adult and pediatric cardiothoracic surgery, a cardiac surgical intensive care unit and a cardiac catheterization laboratory. The clinic performs the full range of modern cardiac surgery — from standard bypass surgery to redo operations, the Bentall procedure, heart and lung transplantation and implantation of mechanical circulatory support devices.
A strong point of the clinic is its multidisciplinary approach: the patient is cared for by several specialists at once (cardiologist, cardiac surgeon, anesthesiologist-intensivist, nephrologist, endocrinologist), which is especially important for patients with comorbidities. The clinic welcomes international patients and assists with visa and logistics.
