I am Smita Pratap Desai. I am Sara's patient. On 19th July 2020, I took Sara's appointment. Sara told me and my husband that I have a tumour. Jahal was saying in the meantime that his eyes would go away, his face would go into comma, his memory would go away, but my husband prepared his whole mind and asked her to do an operation. 99% guarantee was not mine, but she believed in her husband and asked him to operate. My operation was final 13 hours later. Then I got to know everyone, they were convinced that she has no memory, so these two things are over, then 3 days later, when I checked the series, they realized that her limb moment is not happening, then they told Pratap that the limb moment is gone and she will do physio. The sir gave me a lot of patience, he came and put his hand on my head and said how are you baby, the same words were giving me patience, then I would not smile and move my head, I would feel like my father. Ran 1 month I was there as if it was our granddaughter Sir after 8 days I was stunned when the rest of the doctors came but they did not inform sirana so sir shouted loudly everyone and soon sir came there and shifted me to ICU then I was not there I want to stay, sir, when I come, I want to talk, sir, I'm all yours alone, but don't take this pipe out of my nose, take me to the general ward, cry, they finally kept the siren under 24 hours under observation, they shifted me, even after that, when I came home, I used to call home. But Sir never got angry. Every time he decided that I am alive today because of these gods and goddesses. I get up every day to thank him even today without saying that you have gods for me. Anyway, sir, stay behind everyone. God give you so much life, thank you so much for saving a life like ours, my mother, my relatives also pray for you every day sir thank u thank u, sir.

Dr Gurneet Singh is a god in the form of a doctor. We were very nervous when we went to him for the treatment of my eldest daughter. Dr Singh first gave us patience, and then told us simply that nothing has happened to your daughter. Be absolutely carefree. Neither he has a brain tumour nor any other disease, you just get his eyes checked, only the number of his eyes has increased. And really it was like that. My daughter is fine now and it has become possible only because of Dr Gurneet Singh. He is a very nice person. Not only this, despite being a doctor, there is a lot of down to earth. Thank you so much Gurneet Singh because of you we again trust other Doctors. Lots of blessings to you and your whole team
Usha Shewale
Gurneet Sir is one of the most humble and helpful Dr I have met. My grandmom has undergone spinal cord meningioma tumor excision surgery. Before the surgery, she wasn't able to walk properly. Post-surgery, within 7-8 days she was able to walk with negligible support. Can't thank you enough Sir for being the saviour.

Not just with his skills as a surgeon, but also with his supportive and positive attitude, he helped us through very difficult times. Always on call, and ever so patient with us.
