Me and my family have been consulting Dr.Kavitha for over a decade now. We strongly recommend her for treating warts, pimples, and acne, removal of skin tags. Whilst every treatment takes time to be effective, the patients need to persist and have confidence in Dr.Kavitha's treatment.

Dr. Kavitha has treated me several times regarding some imperfections visible on my face and neckline. I'm consulting her since 2013. She is a great communicator. She has consistently taken the time to thoroughly explain the course of action and expected results in a way where one can easily understand what they are in for prior to deciding on moving forward. She seemed very intuitive toward my experiences at home and in office and has communicated well during my procedures about what was going on, which calmed any anxiousness that I had - great doctor indeed!! She also provided care instructions and followed up promptly after the procedure to check in and provide me with any further information that was needed. Finally, her experience and medical capability showed in the visual results on my skin that I was hoping for. ** ** ******* ** ** **** *** ** **** ******* *** passionate about her work and I would not hesitate to return if ever needing such services in the future. I put my trust in her hands and have been extremely pleased with the results. She is amazing and for any woman out there who is curious I would highly recommend Dr. Kavitha. In addition to her excellent personality and expertise, you will find her team makes you feel welcome and comfortable (special note to Philomena - the girl at the front desk).
Visited For Eczema

The compassion with which doctor treats the patients is more effective than any medicine! And dr. Kavitha is very compassionate, loving caring and has loads and loads of patience. She listens to every bit of our words with patience and the way she treats patients is truly amazing. Am suffering from sorry I was suffering from eczema since 4 years and fallen into depression due to that. My personal life had taken toss. My sister jo and her friend bhavya suggested me to go to her and though very far to my place went. Then I realized after the way she treated me that even if she was in Northern India I would have gone. Because now eczema is gone and am very happy. She also started treatment for dark circles just started yesterday and am confident it will also be gone. I will continue to go to her for all my skin and hair problems from now on. Thank you doctor 🤗😊🤗🙏.
I had gone for the treatment of small, hypopigmented scar on the forehead. She performed an abrasion and left me with a much bigger scar. She scooped out deep area, which took 2-3 only to heal and scab to fall off. Subsequently, the skin is depressed in that area, leaving a visible atrophic scar. I had got the same procedure done earlier from another doctor who just punctured the skin layer, letting another layer grow and the hypopigmentation completely go away.
I went back to her with my concern and she ended up acting defensive. Instead of listening and explaining her point, she kept saying that my procedure is correct and no one can question me. She said a scar cream has to be applied after 2 weeks, which she told me nothing about. Thankfully I had the prescription. When she found it missing there, she said I told you come back after 2 weeks, which she never had. She kept defending and said if it does not improve with scar cream, she will do free lasers. However, the very next minute, she said how will I know if you applied scar cream, you may come back just like that. So, I can't do anything!
Overall, a very bad experience. I'm now looking for a more professional doctor, who can help with the scar this doctor has left for me and lesson to never fall in the trap of any doctor whom you have not received feedback for. Beware, all this doctor is interested in is selling her products. The moment you reach, she will point out 10 problems with your skin, recommend 3-4 ointments/serums/sun screens - the brands that only she sells. All are expensive and commissioned products, that you don't get outside. And, never even explains the basics of use. She recommended vitamin C serum to me without even explaining that you have to use it in the night or under the sunscreen. When I questioned, she said that receptionist should have explained. Quite a cheat on the name of skin care! Stay away, unless you want to land up in a worse condition!
Visited For Fungal Infection
It seems this Doctor is not interested in listening to her patients and rather more keen on dumping her costly products on them. I would highly suggest people to reconsider before they think of visiting this doctor. I saw her for the light fungal infection, which I was having on my face. Instead of this, she ended up suggesting me something for sun damage. Finally it had reverse effects on my face and the infection which could have cleared in a weeks medication spread on my entire face with big marks looking like red bumps and full of itching. I was unable to make out what was going wrong so I called her up and told her about the things which went wrong. Instead of asking me to stop this medication right away, she started questioning me that why did I stop this medication when she clearly asked me take it for 6 weeks.
I understood that what kind of doctor I was dealing with. I decided to take second opinion immediately and reached another Doctor. I was surprised when the another doctor told me that I was given a wrong medication which will make this infection grow more. I feel cheated as Dr. Kavitha suggested me her costlier products which don't have any relation with my illness. I am sure she is just busy in dumping her products on patients and taking out her commission along with her 400 Rs for the consultation which is not worth 1 Rs.

I have been to this place earlier for different treatment which was always fantastic.
Today I had been for laser rejuvenation firstly let me congratulate the team for maintaining the place with SOPs and guidelines maintained as per MHA order for this pandemic . Felt very safe going there and place was extremely clean and I was very happy with the procedure follow during my entry.
And words are not enough to describe about the doctor and her uniqueness which she proved after my laser rejuvenation which was excellent and could see instant result. * ******** **** ** ******* ** *** **** ************* * **** *** *** ****** *** ***** I recommend Sk truderma if one is looking out for laser rejuvenation.

I had an excellent experience with Dr Kavitha and her treatment techniques. Past 1 year I suffered heavy hair loss. Had visited Richfill earlier where they said it will never regrow and transplant as only option. But I was not satisfied with there explanation. When I visited Dr Kavitha, she explained me the symptoms, cause and possible treatments. On her recommendations, I went for PRR treatment and medications. I just have had 2 sessions so far *** ******* ****** ***** ******** Bald area is getting covered with new hair. Hair fall has also reduced significantly.
I also had got white patches near forehead. That has faded after I took ointment and medication suggested by Dr Kavitha.
Thanks Doc *** *** ********* **********

I learnt about Dr. Kavitha on practo. I tried Ayurvedic treatment first but didn't see any results. I knew that I had alopecia and wanted to meet a doctor who could really understand and help me. It's 2 months since the treatment and I am seeing a significant improvement. I don't want to share details of prescription and methods as this could be different for others based on condition and severity. I still have another 2-3 months of treatment and will share my experience in detail......
one advice- Please DO NOT give priority to money/cost over health and wellbeing. The medicines and supplements prescribed by the doctor worked for me.

Doctor Kavitha is very polite and observational.
But for some reasons I felt that the she is over priced. I went there for Blood Clot removal from my head which I gained after a recent surgery done for transplantation.
I was charged an exorbitant fee as consultation as the process was very simple, which I had done before. ( I was okay till this point)
Upon being asked to be recommended with some medics/ shampoos that I should be using I was given a whole list of medics and shampoos ( which btw were no where near cheap) and only available at their own medical store.
This felt sorta disheartening as this felt that they are trying to empty their stock of extra items purchased earlier.
