Great service and Great place to do the tests. The staffs are very friendly and and very nice in behaviour. Covering multiple of tests.
Met Dr. Karthik Dattani, MD (Radio) for a second opinion but we realized his should have been the first opinion. Finally met a good doctor in Bangalore, who not only diagnoses but also listens to all patient concerns and answers questions will full transparency. Would highly recommend him over other snobbish and surprisingly under qualified doctors at big chain hospitals (yes, the first name that comes to your mind - “M”).
Good Ambience. Met Dr. Kartik and can easily recommend anyone to him. Very well spoken and knowledgeable.
Great service, on point diagnosis and very humble and helpful doctor, had some tests recommended and dr karthik helped me with those while reassuring me with positivity all the while. 10 on 10 fully recommend.
