I Immediately felt at ease when Mr Thakur collected me from the waiting area. He was very pleasant and genuinely interested in me. He explained everything very well. My consultation and ultrasound were on the same day and I had the results immediately. All of the staff I encountered on my visit were very nice and I had spoken to Dr Thakur’s secretary prior to my appointment and she was also very kind and helpful.
