He performed cataract surgery on both of my mother's eyes (75 years old), and both operations went very smoothly. Everyone in my family praised the doctor's expertise.

Artemis Hospitals in Gurgaon is a large private multi-specialty hospital, ranking among the leading institutions of the Delhi-NCR region. The Artemis network is known for its programs in cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, oncology, orthopedics, as well as ophthalmology.
For a patient undergoing cataract or refractive surgery it is important to be able to involve related specialists. In a multi-specialty clinic this is convenient: endocrinology (diabetes management), cardiology and general medical services are all available within the same building. This is especially important for older patients with concomitant conditions.
Artemis actively works with international patients: the hospital website has a dedicated section for foreign patients with a coordinator, visa support, translation and accommodation services. The location in Sector 51 is convenient relative to Indira Gandhi International Airport.
