Absolutely thrilled to have met dr Romila, instantly felt incredibly comfortable and trusting of her. Extremely knowledgeable obviously, and clear about a diagnosis, plan and future which I absolutely loved. Very considerate of sorting out a solution which was catered specifically for me keeping in mind my ex athlete history and current work life etc. Walked away very confident in her and felt very safe :)
Dr Romilla was phenomenal in her breath of knowledge , thorough examination and her unique way of explaining the problem and solution in a layman terms! Thank you!!
I have a long running back problem caused by a pro-lapsed disc. I have noticed recent deterioration in strength and mobility and wanted to understand what I could do to mitigate this. Dr Bahl’s investigations and recommendations have been clear and helpful and I now need to implement them.
Dr Bahl is highly professional but also compassionate and fun. Highly recommended.
I had the best sports specialist appointment with Dr Romila, I am an ex athlete but still try to maintain a similar exercise routine, however, have recently had problems with back, knees, calves, Achilles and soles of my feet. I have needed to find someone that understands me from an athlete perspective and is able to help me across all my numerous problems. She was absolutely lovely and understanding and really made me feel like we had a game plan for my recovery. I look forward to working with her further, thrilled to have come across her. Highly recommend Dr Romila, especially for any athletes or Individuals with numerous issues and not quite sure where to start.
I had a really positive experience at Pure sports. Dr Romila Bahl was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and took the time to properly listen to my concerns about my back pain. I felt genuinely cared for throughout the appointment. I also really appreciated how comfortable and at ease she made me feel. As a woman, it was reassuring to speak openly with a female doctor who was both compassionate and professional.
Dr Bahl is very easy to talk to, she explains in a way that is easy to understand and she cares!
She explained things very well and helped me to plan a long term recovery
