Dr. Shashank is very calm and patient. He listens to the case history in detail and also asks questions to get a deeper understanding of the condition of the patient. His calmness and his empathy is what makes him different from other specialists who are usually too busy and preoccupied with their own day's schedule. He is the right person to condult if you are not sure what your strategy should be if the patient is aged or is comorbid.
