I'm writing on my brother's behalf since he was a patient at your facility a few months ago. I'd want to express my gratitude on behalf of my entire family for the assistance and consideration you extended to us through what was a very trying period. I found your Cardiology Department the best in the city. I'd want to express my gratitude to you once more for the services you give to patients and their families.

I was hospitalized in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at Almas Hospital, and I'm writing here to you to share my thoughts. I was apprehensive when I walked into the emergency department. But my nerves were eased when I was greeted with multiple smiles from your staff. The physicians and nurses in the Labor and Delivery room were exceptional. When it came to addressing questions, they were patient, friendly, and efficient. Their major concern was making sure I was safe. I felt confident that they had my best interests at heart and would take every precaution to keep me safe during the procedure. Thank you for recruiting such outstanding staff.

Dear Gynecologists at Almas, You have our heartfelt gratitude for taking such excellent care of me throughout and after the endoscopy surgery!! I have not been able to find such professionalism in Kerala anywhere. Because of your professionalism and kind smiles, I felt confident that I was in excellent hands. This provided me peace of mind as I prepared for my surgery. Thank you very much and many prayers for your Pulmonologists.
