My name is Rajesh Kumar and am writing to you in context to my 8 year old son, Kumar Rishit. He does not keep well with his health quite often, has weaker immunity and is also allergic. I got your reference from the SGRH Website and hope you are the right Doctor that I am writing to. Hope you would respond to it, and then we can fix-up an appointment accordingly. Rishit has a history of poor health, as I would like to list his hospitalizations as follows - May 2007
