I've heard several stories about doctors at private hospitals running behind targets set by the hospital management who make patients life miserable by prescribing several unnecessary diagnostic checks. But Dr. Kalathur debunked this myth and completely changed my outlook towards doctors. He is a man of integrity. He was very honest in his analysis and said that my condition will improve naturally and that there is no need for any unwanted X-rays or scanning. He took his time explaining exactly what my issue was and the cause behind my pain. This helped me a lot to alleviate my worry over my back pain. I would highly recommend Mr. Kalathur to all my friends, colleagues and family members. Thank you sir!
