Happy with: Treatment satisfactionDoctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issue
I like the way he listen to my issues and the way of his treatment. Doctor was so good and understanding
Visited For Tinnitus
The doctor was very arrogant doctor to me. Did not even ask me to sit. The only question he asked me was an indirect reference to my pay check. The staff in the hospital was also poorly trained.
