Dr Krishna is always exceptionally accurate in his diagnosis and treatment. Id encountered long delays in diagnosis and treatment elsewhere but Dr Krishna swiftly identified the problems, provided excellant care and treatment. He has significantly reduced my chronic pain for a range of things. Excellent communication from Dr Krishna and his secretary-this is exceptionally important to me as I have a speech impairment making accessibility a priority for me. All the team who work with Dr Krishna were so kind, thoughtful and made me feel at ease throughout treatment. They were not fazed by my complex needs including non epileptic seizures. Id highly recommend Dr Krishna without any hesitation to anyone wanting a thorough, highly skilled and knowledgeable Dr. His accuracy in treatment and diagnosis is fantastic with short turnaround between consultation and treatment. Thank you
