Dr. Karthic Babu Natarajan patiently listened to my complaint and got to know past history. Saw all my reports carefully. Explained what needs to be done to overcome pain. I felt very relieved when he said there's nothing serious and with medicines and physical exercises, I'll be all right.
Dr. Brindha Sharma, the physiotherapy doctor, was very kind. Saw my reports, asked me a few questions to analyse and understand my problem well. Taught me exercises patiently. The way she explained things made me feel very comfortable.
The care and concern both these doctors showed was really commendable. I felt happy and satisfied that I came to the right place.
Staff at the reception counter were polite and pleasing. Overall, it was a good experience.
Thank you all.

I have had 3 consulting sessions with Dr.Karthik and each time he has left with more admiration for his prowess.
Dr.Karthik is someone extremely confident of his diagnostic ***** ********** ** *** ****** ** ********** He keeps it simple and practical and ensures that the patient is left reassured and in safe hands.
He is someone who takes time to understand the background of the person whom he is dealing with and adopts a mechanism which would suit his or her day to day lifestyle and profession. It's always a pressure dealing with Dr.Karthik and I would highly recommend him to any individual who has specific spine related problems.
