Visited Dr. Sachin after experiencing joint pain in my hands, legs for consultation. He was attentive and my first consultation went fine. So far the pain medication has helped reduce stiffness in joints to a large extent, let's see how things work out over the long-term. He also explained what is causing the issue and how we can address / solve it. A plus point I liked was the option of doing my blood work right there at the clinic which is very convienent, also ample parking space outside for 4 wheeler.
