Dr. Ravi is a friendly person and lends a listening ear to his patients which I have observed from my interaction with him for my accute cough which caused me several years of sleepless nights despite having consulted top notch doctor's in Chennai. Dr. Ravi gets to the root of the problem before treatment starts. A person of finnese and knowledge of the ailment, I am very sure patients who have been treated and are being treated will agree with me
