    Lekha Pathak was the cardiologist in this procedure and also neglected to do any scans or tests prior to the stent surgery due to her overconfidence and ultimately was the reason my father suffered and passed away at the young age of 57. Nitin Rathod also was contacted after my fathers death to be informed about it as he was one of the doctors checking up on him but we realize now he provided us false hope in order to cover for Lekah Pathak's negligence and also to make money as they saw us as americans with deep pockets. He played mind games with religious talk but when he was told on the phone about my fathers death he replied with "oh ok, yeah. so?" These guys don't care for you or anyone at all, its about the money and covering each others mistakes. Lekha Pathak has so much power in the hospital its more than the company that owns it. All the staff and nurses and a few doctors including the ICU Director backed off and stopped giving us advice and being honest with us about what happened in fear of losing their jobs and being blacklisted in the medical field. This entire situation could had been avoided had she had not neglected to do the scans and tests prior to the stent surgery.

    This hospital may have once been good when it was a public hospital but since it’s become private they only care for the money. I lost my dad at the age of 57 due to negligence from this hospital. We came from American on vacation and after a heart attack my father needed a stent put in. They neglected to do the necessary tests before proceeding with the surgery and after a complication and 8 long months in a coma I lost my father. Billing played games with us with “miscellaneous” charges that they couldn’t explain other than the fact that we were “international” although my mom and dad has their citizens cards. The cardiologist became very shady and due to her power at the hospital, everyone else including the ICU head doctor backed off and didn’t speak much to us in order to hide the false hope and lies she was giving us. Everyone knew there was a mistake that caused this complication but from fear of losing their jobs because of her power they backed off and remained silent completely. As I mentioned, billing tried to scam us multiple times until we asked for an itemized bill and that too they were hesitant. Overall hospital looks good but service is awful. Their overconfidence is the reason my dad is gone. They never even asked us if we wanted to get a test done prior to the surgery even though it’s part of their policy. May my dad Rest In Peace but I’ll make sure he gets justice.
