This is the fourth time I'm visiting this doctor. She was the same every time. She starts the conversation with a beautiful smile, listens and explains the issue in detail in a way we understand. Doens't recommend the medicines unnecessarily. Even though I stay a bit far, I feel like going to only this Doctor. More than half of the problems go after talking to her and understanding the problem with solutions. And remaining problems also get resolved in just a few days. I love the way she treats, she doesn't jump to medicines etc etc, she gives enough time to explain multiple issues and gives clear answers. Thank you Doctor 🙏

While checking the baby , she is extremely careful nt to make him/her irritate. Explains the medication . Very much reachable on phone. Very down to earth.
She’s been my child’s doctor for the past 4 years. She is up to date with all major health organisations guidelines and is completely breastfeeding friendly, does not advocate for force feeding etc., she was exactly what o was looking for in a doctor.
No point of taking appointment for a particular time. It is always first come first serve. Plus the queue before was already huge (may be they call more than what they can serve), so had to wait for more than 80 mins

My daughter caught fever twice within 8 days..I got scared and took her to Dr lini. She checked and confirmed that its viral fever only nothing else and it will go in 4 days nd asked to give paracetamol only when required.I followed all the instructions she gave but fever persisted even after 4 days.I was worried again and went to doc. She affirmed that its viral fever..no need for blood test n etc. I was directed to give liquid food as much as possible and I really worked hard to follow her directions to max extent and in 2 days my daughter was fine. Without any blood test or antibiotics she was treated properly and with patience.. Thanks Dr. Lini. God bless u.

I visited Dr. Lini for my 3 year old kid. He was ill with constipation, vomiting, fever and all. We were so worried about his situation as he was so tired and ill. But once we met Dr. Lini, she completely changed our view towards my kids illness. She has this positive aura around her. She is so sweet and explained general issues happens to kids and how should we take care of it. And she did not prescribe heavy medicines and all. Just some simple medicines which are not hard on my kids stomach and after two days taking it, my kid is back to power!! Completely satisfied with Dr. Lini and will recommend to everyone.
Really an awesome and amazing experience we have got every time we went to check with her.She listens to all the problems calmly and diagnose it with full confidence.She never recommend any unnecessary test or antibiotics.Infact she tries her best to avoid prescribing antibiotics.
Never creates unnecessary tension or she never changes medicine of other doctors just for name sake.Even some time we will ask her whether we should go for this test or that test but she will explain us clearly why it's not needed or if needed.She has very strong expertise on vaccination.
She is an honest and a generous doctor ,very rare to find out now a days.Wish her great satisfaction in life.
I am an adult and wanted to visit paediatrician in HSR to finalize what vaccines I need to take and what I need not (given in childhood) before I leave to US (requirement for student visa). Dr Lini was recommended to me by one of my friend Abhi.
Dr Lini was very clinical in explaining me what vaccine I would have definitely received in childhood and hence not required again now and suggested few (difference b/w DTaP and Tdap) vaccines which I will have to administer. I was not surprised why my friend suggested her since she had thorough knowledge on every vaccination aspects. She even helped me stamp documents which I need to submit to my university and to my wonder she didn't charge a single penny.
Dr Lini made me realise that doctors too are human and have good side which we generally don't see in today's cut throat competitive rat race world where everybody charges money for their time.
Thanks a ton Dr Lini for making my day and re-instating my faith in doctors/humanity :) :)
Dr.Lini is very professional and explains what is happening and what she is going to do and what are the possible outcomes. We have been consulting her for our two daughters for a good 3 years now and I am very happy with the consultation, treatment and attention she pays to the children as well as to the parents (which is very important to me - as I need to know what is happening). I would highly recommend her to everyone. I hope she continues to practice where its close by and is of reasonable distance to us.
She is genuinely concerned and a good human being too.
Do keep up the good work and good luck.

We are parents of 2 kids & my little one was born at Motherhood. We were suggested to visit other doctor after his birth. Accidentally, some other day that doctor was not there, so we went to Dr. Lini. As a parent, we were very concerned, when my kid's persistent cold was not going away & causing eye infections as well. Dr. Lini gave us lots of practical advices without any medication, even our expectations as a worried parent for some medicines. She got well soon. Dr. Lini doesn't prescribe any unnecessary medications or procedures. After that, we visited her numerous times without having any second thought. She is so kind, generous & caring and answers to every question we used to have, with coolness to calm down our anxieties.
