Explanation

Dr Athwal is a fantastic doctor, very patient, thorough and takes time to properly listen because he says it's important to listen to the patient in order, for him, to understand what is going on. His secretary, Navena, is his right arm, very professional, compassionate and willing to assist even at a short notice. Very satisfied. Thank you
