Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Her vast knowledge and experience in Neurology in one of the most prestigious institutions in India makes her one of the best neurologists in this Country. Unlike other doctors, she just doesn't have tunnel vision which makes them relate the symptoms to the diseases in their field only but she tries to actually solve the patient's problem. I sincerely hope that more doctors aspire to become like her for the sake of their patients.
Beacon of hope, extraordinary knowledge, empathetic and thorough approach, impactful treatment, improved quality of life, expertise in neurology, highly recommend.

parkinsons
She is excellent beyond doubt and very thorough which is also why she writes a lot of tests. The tablets she gave for my mother's parkinsons are working very well and I am glad such a doctor exists in the city. She was correctly able to diagnose and recommend medical options within 5 minutes.
