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.

Its just the right decision we took in meeting this doctor.my mother suffers from asthma since 40 years.cant believe that she has improved so much.she used to think that asthma is part of her life.but now slowly doctor started reducing her medicines.doctor did skin prick test and pft tests and we came to know how bad her problem was.the doctor spent a lot of time with my mother is making her understand what her lung problem is and how that can be rectified.she wont dump medicines.she is thoughtful about cost too.to top it all, advise from a pretty doctor is always therapeutic.
