Very nice person. Give best treatment to my childTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Chetan Unkule2023-06-23Visited this doctor for a regular checkup of my 4 month old baby. Didnt have a great experience at all. The doctor and his staff always seemed in a hurry, not giving us enough time to handle our 4month old and explain his issues/symptoms to him. He let us go real fast. When we came out, almost felt like we left lots of things undiscussed, due to the hurry. Worst part was the fees. For first regular visit, I was charged 1350 rs, pretty hefty and high end if you ask me for the area and the kind of service he provided!! Overall, didnt find him to be a long term friendly kids doctor where i would like to take my kid again and again for any sort of issue
