Visited For Respiratory Tract Infection
Had breathing difficulty after viral fever. Doctor gave test, did the tests. He explained the issue and prescribed medications based on the lungs test.
Good humble and easy to communicate. Since there was no issue in X-ray Report I carried with me, he asked for CT SCAN of chest and since ANA blood test was negative in my earlier report, he had recommended for ANA profile and Angiotensin Converting Enzyme blood tests, but all reports are negative.
However, Radiology in Aster is not recommended as staff had a very casual approach and system instructions were not clear.
