The consultation with Dr. R.P. Shanmugam was good, and the doctor explained everything clearly. I rate the experience 3.5 out of 5 and would recommend the doctor to others. I had some concern about the behavior of the lobby staff.
The doctor gave me clear advice about following a fiber diet. I was satisfied with the instructions and the overall visit.
Doctor is very friendly, explained everything in detail and also talks very positive. I was suffering from right abdomen pain while lifting some weights for very long time, even took couple of scans earlier but couldn't find the problem. so I thought of consulting a specialist and reached him. He didn't even ask to take any scans. Infact he advised me not to spend money by taking scan bcoz it's just a muscle strain & nothing else. Just by explaining my symptoms he immediately find out the reason. Now I'm feeling much better. Many many thanks to him👏
The doctor explained everything clearly and the clinic visit was satisfactory. I would recommend this doctor to others.
