Dr. Hema is a rare gem, both as a doctor and as a person. When my mother, a diabetes patient, was struggling with scary low sugar episodes, met her for the first time and since then her situation transformed from uncertainty to satisfaction.
She is highly skilled and thorough; I once observed her adjusting dosages multiple times during our conversation as new information emerged, almost as if she were continuously calculating and calibrating her views.
But, beyond her impressive array of advanced degrees, it's her personal touch that truly sets her apart. She didn't just offer medical advice; she invested time. And oh, her patience! She spent nearly an hour addressing every concern with care and attention.
She advocates a holistic approach towards treating patients by trying to understand their situations beyond just medications and making effective yet simple modifications to their lifestyles, but in line with their preferences. She truly is about "well-being" and not just a prescriber of medicines.
She truly cares about her patients; inquiring about her well-being post visit too. She is true to her profession and doesn't prescribe any un-necessary tests, pills, etc.
These are all very **rare** qualities. I can only wish more doctors were like her, though even then, she would still stand apart!
What can I say, we consider ourselves lucky we found her. We're delighted to continue this journey of health and wellness under their expert guidance!

Dr Hema is a phenomenal dr with a patient focussed approach.
She takes time to completely understand the history & lifestyle of the patient first before delving into the reports. This enables her to accurately diagnose and prescribe the appropriate treatment using a combination of diet, exercise & medicines.
She has an extremely +ve approach, creates customised treatment plan which is then explained in very simple terms to help me manage diabetes efficiently.
Her constant follow up and encouragement boosts confidence providing reassurance that an expert is always with us - tracking the progress & modifying the treatment as & when required. ***** *** **** ** ** **** *** ****** ******** ************
