Excellent doctor. Gave me very clear instructions regarding diagnostic tests followed by a clearly defined diagnosis and medication schedule. All done very quickly - from the first appointment to diagnosis in about 2.5 weeks.
Dr Srikantha was extremely reassuring and kind. Would highly recommend.
Dr Srikantha immediately made me feel at ease at my first consultation. She was so helpful in listening to me and providing advice. And I now feel more reassured about a health condition I have had for over 20 years.
Dr Srikantha has again been a model of professionalism. She was clearly prepared for the appointment, as she had read the information shared. She asked clear and direct questions to elicit the information she needed and listened thoroughly to the answers.
