Explanation

Dr Petkar is a most thorough physician. He explains very clearly why I am experiencing what I am experiencing and from my own knowledge I am aware that he has completed all tests and investigations necessary for the elimination of my symptoms. I feel comfortable with him, and he is looking at me holistically - which was exactly what I required and why I chose to go to him as I have other medical problems which I felt were being treated separately.
