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.

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.
Furthermore some medicines not agreeable to me in cold weather for my health condition. But no way to reach message to the doctor, through such arrogant staff. Doctor may be kind, but really hurt that he is not ensuring humanitarian behaviour of staff with sick patients. It is our very hard earned money that we pay in thousands. And rude shouting is what I received in my helpless state.

Visited For Milia removal
I had milia since my age 18. I was always unhappy about it when it mulplies nearby by eyes. I met Dr Murugusundaram, he prescribed laser removal. It was little sensational while stinging, the procedure was done in 5 minutes. But i had that scar for couple of months. Then it totally disappeared. I'll happily recommend this Dr for this treatment.
