Visited For Systemic Lupus Erythematosis
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueWait time
This is my second consultation with the doctor in seven years (the reason being, I do not live in the same city and my SLE had gone into remission for a good many years). Mine was one of the last appointments of the day. Although the doctor had a long and tiring day, he was kind, empathetic and displayed quite a good amount of patience while listening to my list of health concerns and he advised me on the course of treatment to be followed ahead. He is a thorough professional *** ** ************** I would most certainly recommend him.
