Firstly a awesome Humble Human Being, Danvantri. I never felt I was conversing with a doctor rather I felt I was having a talk with a family member. Very very rare to have such a kind of doctors these day who value the concerns of the visitors, understand the problem and guide them appropriately. Has great experience and really worthy to visit. There is divinity in his touch and words.
