Quotes
Dr. Abhishek Mangeshikar
Consultant Gynecology & Endometriosis Expert at Jaslok Hospital, Mumbai
“"It helps to separate three things that get lumped together. There’s persistent disease — endometriosis left behind at the first surgery... Instead, choosing the right surgeon matters more than any hospital brochure."”

“"The best outcomes come from a team — surgeon, physiotherapist, pain specialist, psychologist — not one hero surgeon riding in to fix everything."”
