Dr. Syed Shakeel is an exceptional dermatologist. As I have severe acne scars for 2 years and new pimples coming every few days, my skin was very damaged and I used to feel very embarrassed about it. So I was looking for a **** dermatologist in Chennai who could help my skin recover completely from this problem. Dr. Shakeel's diagnosis and treatment plan has been very effective for my skin. Moreso, he is a very patient and kind person. He approaches the problem very thoroughly and provides a detailed understanding of the diagnosis and clear explanation of how we can treat it. His patience, sincerity, thoroughness and genuine care for his patients shines through in every interaction.One of the most remarkable aspects that I felt about Dr. Shakeel was the honesty and integrity with which he provided a clear and transparent understanding of the diagnosis and the realistic timeline for recovery; along with his availability and prompt responsiveness. He genuinely cares for his patients. His medications are not expensive unlike many other dermatologists who often ask to undergo very expensive treatment plans. Infact, the medications and creams that he prescribed for my skin were not only affordable (especially for middle class people like myself) but also incredibly effective, yielding remarkable results within just a few days. The transformation in my acne scars has been nothing short of miraculous, and many of my friends and family have noticed the incredible improvement in my skin. I myself cant stop admiring my glowing and healing skin. When I had lost hope for my acne scars ever healing, Dr.Shakeel brought hope. Truly it is only and only because of his treatment and medication that my skin has been healing so beautifully.Meeting Dr. Shakeel has been a turning point in my journey to heal my skin and I wholeheartedly recommend him and his clinic to everyone seeking top-notch and affordable care. His expertise, compassion and dedication are a testament to the exceptional healthcare professional that he is. My experience with Dr. Shakeel has been nothing short of extraordinary, and I am immensely grateful for the positive impact he has had on my skin.As I am living far away and always traveling out of the city and I have a small baby, it is very difficult for me to come to the clinic for timely follow up visits. So only when necessary doctor calls me to the clinic. Understanding my situation, he provided me with follow up via whatsapp messages & calls. I am so grateful for this because recently I had a wax burn on my face which was very very prominent and I could not go out due to embarrassment and I messaged Doctor regarding this issue and he promptly replied with medication and also said not to worry as the burns will settle. Just within a day the burns have settled and even with my acne scars I am overall seeing such a big difference in my skin.So for those seeking compassionate, knowledgeable, affordable and effective care, I highly recommend Dr. Syed Shakeel.

I am 83 years old, recently I had skin rashes in my chest ,back and forearms.Based on the reviews of him in Practo, we had fixed an appointment over phone, As doctor wanted to examine the case properly, I was called up to his clinic. He explained the cause and the treatment process, and by gods grace I am fully healed now. He had regular follow-ups with me to understand the progress of the treatment and advised accordingly. Doctor is very soft spoken,empathetic, humble , well experienced and knowledgable in his specialization. I highly recommend doctor for his humane approach

*** ** *** **** ******* * **** **** **** he diagnosed the root cause of increasing black spots on the body, asked to do few tests, even recommended best lab to reduce the over all cost. Moreover when I went back to consult and show him reports, he didn’t charge even a paisa and when I insisted he informed that he doesn’t charge patients for showing and consulting reports. I have never been to such humble experience before. Thank you Sir for patiently listening to our problems, and recommendations.
And I strongly recommend to consult him for any skin/ hair issues. Many thanks!

He is extremely friendly and removed all my warts while conversing with me, so I didn't feel any pain during the treatment process.
