Jun 06, 2023
I have known Dr. Purohit for some years .Before me being a patient .He was my grandfather 's doctor. MY grandfather thought the world of Doctor Purohit. I start working with Dr. Purohit back in 1994 when Lakeview hospital first open ..He was not my doctor than ..As yrs .went by and working by his side I saw how much he cared for his parents. I decided to make him my doctor. I would always tell him when ever worked with him or would pass him in the hallway. I wanted him to be My doctor so I could live to be 90 /95 .He would always look and smile ..I have been his patient for some years and wouldn't trade him for nothing..Thanks Dr.Purhoit..
