Nikeeta Baliarsingh
5 stars
I suffered from constant allergy and Dr. Pravin's course of diagnosis was spot on and backed by solid tests. He walked me through each step very patiently for the course of treatment to be taken. He never suggests extreme medication unless absolute necessary. He is very methodical and takes step by step approach required at each step. The whole discussion felt very calming and reassuring and treatment shows result in due course of time if followed diligently. Highly recommend !
