“Our physicians are deeply dedicated to providing high-quality, advanced care,” said Prathibha Varkey, MBBS, president and CEO of NEMG. “Their devotion to ensuring that every patient under their care is treated with the respect and compassion they expect and deserve is both admirable and inspiring.”
