I highly recommend Dr. Shweta Raina and her staff is very nice and accommodating. Thank you very much for your great service.
GOOD
I am new patient, so I don’t know yet how things gonna be ,when I finish, or I have more session with her I will give the clinic five stars . But for now I can say She took time to talk to me ,to understand my needs for the first appointment. I was a little late because I couldn't find the place but the waiting time in the lobby for me was a lot but everything is fine as soon as I start the treatment I will give Them the 5 stars . What I liked, they gave me the appointment very quickly. So you don’t need to wait so long to have an appointment that’s great I recommend that part . As well It is seen that the doctor is a professional.
Our daughter suffered a painful toe injury. Dr. Raina was kind, explained our options and talked through the whole procedure. This approach made our daughter comfortable and the procedure was as quick as Dr. Raina could be.
Not only she has an excellent bedside manner and honest approach but is knowledgeable and makes patients feel comfortable.
Great experience overall. Listened to my problem and gave me a solution. I am very grateful.
