I consulted Dr. (Major) RS Rengan in 2022 for gallbladder stone surgery, which was successfully performed. In 2023, after a cesarean delivery, I faced a non-healing wound for two months. Despite my gynecologist’s assurances, the issue persisted. When I consulted Dr. Rengan, he immediately diagnosed it as NTM (Non-Tuberculosis Mycobacterial Infection), later confirmed through biopsy. Under his care, with antibiotics and injections, my wound healed completely. Dr. Rengan’s expertise, kindness, and positivity make him extraordinary. His care goes beyond medicine, inspiring confidence and hope. My family and I are deeply grateful for his support during our toughest times. Truly, he is a blessing to his patients and a remarkable doctor. Thank you, Dr. Rengan!
