Visited For Low Back Pain Rehabilitation
Happy with:Â Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
Practo helped me choose a Physical Medicine rehab specialist. I chose Dr Sumalatha based on her qualifications and being a full time consulting doctor in Aster CMI and ties with Aster RV which is closer to where I live. Dr Sumalatha did the right diagnosis of my lower back pain. She was pleasant, precise, and focused in her diagnosis. There are not too many Rehabilitation specialist physicians in Bangalore so the few that are listed on Practo helped me make a selection. I am pleased with my experience with Dr Sumalatha K B.
