Patient’s Feedback

    "A Journey of Hope and Healing" Experience with VivaVel Health
    "A Journey of Hope and Healing" Experience with VivaVel Health

    "VivaVel" has truly made a life-changing impact on our lives during a challenging time. My wife was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD), and despite consulting three different doctors in Bangladesh, we were unsatisfied and uncertain about the way forward. It was a confusing and challenging phase until a friend recommended VivaVel.

    From the moment "I contacted them", VivaVel provided exceptional support and guidance. They arranged telemedicine consultations with two renowned international doctors, giving us the confidence to make an informed decision. After careful consideration, we selected one of the doctors for my wife's treatment.

    VivaVel's assistance went above and beyond our expectations. They helped us with critical processes like obtaining a medical visa invitation letter, visa processing, and coordinating my wife's admission to "Artemis Hospital" in Delhi. They even suggested comfortable accommodations for me as a patient attendant.

    What truly stood out was their unwavering support throughout our journey. The "VivaVel team" was always just a phone call away, offering guidance and reassurance during our stay in Delhi. Their professionalism and dedication to helping patients and their families are truly commendable.

    I am incredibly grateful for the care and support from "VivaVel." They were a beacon of hope for us during this difficult time, and I sincerely hope they continue their outstanding service to help more needy patients.

    Thank you, "VivaVel," for being there for us every step of the way!
