Toughest time for the parents comes when their child falls sick.But if they know a doctor who is not only qualified and experienced but also approachable, half the tension is eased.
Dr.Yogesh P Mehta has been my son's pediatrician ever since we moved to Mumbai.He has the following qualities that makes him an excellent doctor -
1. He is gentle and polite , gives us time to explain the health issue and answers to all our illness related queries without a rush.
2. He is easily approachable and it is easy to book a suitable appointment slot.
3. He does not readily prescribe medicines/antibiotics for simple issues.
4. He is just a call away as he shares
his cellphone number in case of an urgency.
He encourages parents to update him with their
kids' recovery ,especially in times of fever.
5. MY personal experience with Dr.Mehta
lately :
My son ,now 11 had dengue on Oct 4, for which I approached Dr.Mehta on the first day of fever.He not only diagnosed the disease early on but suggested a special diet chart for him that kept my son's fluid intake optimum and spared us from the pain of hospitalisation .
Since my son was weak ,I could share my son's recovery process with him over the phone ,without visiting him every day, as he had shared his mobile number with us.
I have great faith in Dr.Yogesh P Mehta and would recommend all parents to consult him for their kids' health issues. It will make the tough times during their kids' illness sail smooth and hassle free.
