I recommended Dr Darshana based on the reviews found in practo, My father-in-law visited her and she is very patient in listening and explaining the condition, treatment and diet in detail. She did regain confidence in patient by taking ownership and mentoring them to reduce sugar and cholesterol levels. We are glad that we ended up seeing a great friendly doctor. Thanks a million.
Cons: Due to cholesterol level and ECG report she suggested cardiologist in Sakra hospital, sakra turned out to be very expensive.

Dr Darshana is a doctor who examines every patient in a very personalised manner and provides the ***** diagnosis and treatment based on a patient to patient approach. I was suffering from continuous fever and caugh and was very ill. I went to Dr Darshana and she examined me and immediately put me on the right line of tests and treatment. Her efficient diagnosis helped me fight viral pneumonia and its side effects in a right manner. I strongly recommend Dr Darshana as she is very patient centric when compared to many other doctors who either over diagnose or under diagnose.

Met the doctor in Apollo Fraser Town. She is a very young professional and experienced in treating allergy and asthma. Doctor is very clear with advise on precautions, diet and treatment. I have neglected my allergy for so many years because I had no knowledge of it. No doctor told me. This doc has explained in detail and I feel so blessed to have met her. For the first time in my life I am able to breathe well without sneezing coughing or wheezing. I am following the instructions and feeling so good. Thanks to the doctor. I must also mention she's a fun type of doctor. I enjoy my consultation with her.

The doctor is very methodical and not in a hurry to prescribe meds. The only doc who asked me if a medicine she wanted to prescribe, to my father, was affordable for us. She clearly explained the issue and created a 3 month plan to bring down Dad's Hb1Ac levels.
