Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
Had problems with my skin. The doctor was awesome and very polite as well as the supporting staff. I would recommend this place and it is very clean. The doctor was very informative, explained me about my condition and discussed the treatment options. Within few weeks I felt improvement with my problem. The waiting room was little crowdier had to wait a while, but overall my experience was very pleasant. I would surely recommend this doctor.

Hoped for better: Treatment satisfactionValue for money
Doctor explained lot and I was highly impressed first. But then after treatment had to wait a lot. ₹16000/- tests and medicines. Some staffs were really very kind. But the staff who had to explain the medicine kept repeating very fast & i had difficulty understanding it, and when I asked a doubt about usage instead of answering my doubt again & again repeated like answering machine same thing instead of answering my query. Then told to call next day when using and ask if needed. Next day when I called ,same way she repeated same content instead of simply answering my doubt. Then I requested her to stop repeating same thing like and answer me. She shouted at me & just kept the phone. With so many other health issues struggling to even walk steadily when I went, this was the way I was treated.
