What Patients Say
I was really having a bad time because of my acid reflux. It was getting really annoying. My mother tried some remedies on me but nothing seemed to work. Then I booked an appointment with Dr. Rakesh. He is very professional. He really knows how to handle it. The medication given by him was very effective.
