We recently visited you for my 6-year-old son, who has been diagnosed with Autism. After your consultation and starting the antiepileptic medication you prescribed, we have seen remarkable improvements. His eye contact has improved, his stimming has reduced significantly, and he has become much calmer. He is also trying to understand my words more than before.

We are truly grateful for your guidance, treatment, and support. Thank you so much, doctor, for helping us see such positive changes in him.

I delivered a low birth weight baby and he was in Milan hospital Nicu unit (Ovum Hospital) for 15 days where I met Dr. Shalini. Entire Nicu unit took care of my baby very well with able guidance of Dr. Shalini. After discharge we are consulting her regularly for regular check ups and vaccination.

She is very friendly, calm, approachable and a patient listener. She spends enough time with the baby to understand the problem and prescribes medicines. Also she is reachable over phone anytime on emergency.

When my baby was diagnosed with Heart problems she refered to a best cardiologist in city to continue his cardiac related treatment. I am very happy to see such doctor who takes care of the baby very well.

We had been consulting with the doctor from birth till 5 months. She is someone who believes I’m not giving unnecessary medications to the baby which is good. But she isn’t very friendly. It’s very difficult for new parents to ask her questions. She is rude at times. She is undoubtedly a good doctor but a little more patience and friendliness would help. That’s the reason I changed the pead for my baby.

We have been consulting Dr. Shalini for our daughter since her birth and have always found her extremely approachable. She doesn't mind responding to our parental concerns on Whatsapp either. Another reason why we trust her with the health of our little girl is that she doesn't unnecessarily prescribe medication. We strongly recommend her and our grateful to have her as our child's doctor.

Our experience with Dr. Shalini Rao has been wonderful. She interacts with us and our daughter in a very friendly manner and answers all our queries patiently, irrespective of whether the questions are relevant to the visit or not. More importantly she is available personally for us, and always responds anytime we reach out to her. Her treatments are spot on, gives enough time to try and understand the cause of the illness.
