Testimonials

First of all Dr. Benny Negalur was very friendly and listened to the health issue in brief. Then she explained the reasons for the health issue and remedies too. She did a great job and I remember her one line that she said, 'Since she has touched the patient, she has to be fit within 2-3 days' and the same has happened.

Ghanshyam Nawlakha Patient

I had come for acute pain in feet while walking. I just couldn't keep my foot down flat while walking. I had to walk on my toes. The doctor advised me to do the foot test. This is the first foot clinic I have ever seen. I was detected with acute neuropathy problem. The doctor had advised me to make insoles to resolve my problem. I am very happy with the correct diagnosis. The doctor is also friendly and always smiling. When you come to her with your medical problems, they are always resolved. I will recommend one and all to come to this clinic. It's the best. Thanks Doctor Benny.
