excellent, very reassuring and calm

Exceptional competence and care which comes from extensive experience . Though I would advise confirming the fees charged by Centennial for use of their facilities and provision of drugs . Dr Mehta fees charged separately are proportionate and fair .

Very pleased with the way Dr Mehta conducted the diagnosis (listening, understanding and explaining). He took his time to assess the reason why the pain has shifted to other places. He made me feel relaxed and comfortable going through the motion.

We have been more than happy with our meetings with Dr Mehta. He is always able to talk about what your problem is without making you feel like you can’t understand a word he’s saying. He is friendly. He is very thorough, covering everything. He listens well to what you describe and has always got to the bottom of our issues.

Ritan is a fantastic doctor. In my opinion, in order for a doctor to be exceptional, besides their knowledge and experience, they need to be empathic and understand that your conditions have an impact on your life. Ritan takes the time in each appointment to ensure he fully understands what's going on with your condition. I cannot stress how important this is enough. So many doctors will have a quick look at you, suggest a course of treatment, and off you go, which is a terrible experience as a patient. This is the complete opposite of Ritan, and I thank him for that. If he needs to take a full hour to go through all the details and intricacies of your condition, he'll do it, with a smile, and with the professionalism you deserve. He's honest, transparent, and very clear. He methodically analyses the different courses of treatments and discusses them with you, mentioning their pros and cons, so together with him, you can make an informed decision. We're trying to find a solution to my almost chronic problems with my pubic bone and groin. I've been treated by several doctors, physios and other specialists from different countries, some of them quite renowned, without success. I'm much more hopeful now that Ritan is treating me for this condition. No matter the final outcome, I'll still be thankful to Ritan for his dedication, for exploring all the possibilities to solve this puzzle, and for being clearer than all the previous professionals I wish I had known Ritan years ago when I started having problems with my injuries because I'm quite sure I'd be feeling much better now.
