Unfortunately, she had never received proper guidance regarding management of her condition. As a result, Kapila and her family had accepted the condition as her fate. She was otherwise very healthy and had no other disability. Through the pursuit of Dr. Ashok Patel, founder of Kantilal J. Patel Charitable Trust, the family agreed for Kapila to undergo surgical correction of her cleft palate. Dr. Nehal Patel, a successful oral surgeon in the nearby city of Surat, Gujarat, India, performed palatoplasty to close the cleft completely.
