The entire atmosphere in the hospital made me feel at ease. I had gone there with my daughter. My cholesterol level was high and I was feeling nausea and breathless. The reception treated me good care and an OP doctor checked my thoroughly before doctor rajiv.
Dr. Rajiv was very attentive to my discomfort.
He had prescribed me medications for a month and advised me to come back after that.
I certainly would recommend Dr. Rajiv santhosham.
