Question

I've got my scan report showing a ligament tear - do I really need surgery for this? Since I'm covered under New India Assurance Medi Assist, can you suggest the best doctor in Chennai who specializes in ligament tear surgeries with quick recovery times? I'm really worried about the healing process and want to make sure I get the right treatment
