Hoped for better: Treatment satisfaction
Dr. Sri Prakash is extremely polite, soft spoken and very well experienced and is very down to earth. I was completely satisfied with his approach and treatment.But unfortunately the support staff like the junior optometrist and his secretaries were either arrogant, lacked of experience, lacked in experience of public relations and utterly not responsible in following the Doctors advice and keeping the patients updated on the line of treatment. The doctor had informed us that a specialist would be visiting in the next few days and his secretary would keep us updated about the availability of the particular specialist.The junior optometrists too are not well behaved *** ***** ***** ********** ** ******** *********But even after 10 days, there has been no such calls to updated us** **** ****** **** *** ***** ******* ****** *** ** ******* ** *** ********* ** ****** ******* *** ** **********

I felt relax and comfortable. I felt the clinic is both client and service oriented. Dr Sri Prakash, nurses, and all other attendants were understanding and patient. I trust that many clients have similar experience and will do in the days ahead.
