My Experience and Feedback
I visited AIIMS Rishikesh for a minor surgery and I was very satisfied with the experience. The registration process was smooth and quick, and I did not have to pay any fee as the surgery was covered under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. The doctor was very courteous and professional and explained to me the procedure and the risks involved. He performed the surgery successfully and I was discharged the same day. The post-operative care was also excellent and I did not have any complications or infections.
The hospital was very clean and well-maintained, and the staff was very polite and helpful. The hospital also had a good ambiance and a positive vibe. I did not face any difficulty or inconvenience during my visit, and I would recommend AIIMS Rishikesh to anyone who needs quality healthcare at an affordable cost.
