Mr Padmanabhan was firstly sympathetic and this allowed me to be honest about how I was feeling and he genuinely listened and asked many times if I had more questions. The next steps are clear and at last I feel that someone wants to make me better than ignoring my symptoms. Highly recommend.

I could make an appointment within a few days. Dr Padmanabhan had a very good bedside manner. His history taking was very respectful and he was great in addressing all my questions and worries. He was thorough in the clinical exam too. I paid for this consult myself because I did not get anywhere ( or at least within the next months) . I am very glad I did.
