Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueValue for money
I was looking for a geriatric psychiatrist and that's how I came across her. It was our first visit to Dr. Soumya Hegde. I had been there for my father's treatment for his depression and anxiety. The doctor was really friendly, calm, pleasant, empathetic, confident and a very good listener. She listened patiently to us and apart from discussing the medications she also suggested few life style changes. We are looking forward to our next visit.
