I loved this visit to Dr. Aswathi. She asked a lot of questions to identify my issues, was very attentive to details, helped to identify issues when it was hard to explain, and finally, we cleared all conditions I had. When she provided recommendations, she also explained why this is important to do, what can I expect if I won't follow the recommendations. The consultation was above my expectation and she answered all my questions with no hurry.
