Me and my wife were suffering from Back pain. My wife was not in a good shape, when we came for physiotherapy for the first time. She got injury in her lower back, but Dr.Hitu treated her so well, that she was hale and healthy in no time. She is able to walk swiftly and now she is travelling a lot by road as well, despite of all this, she did not felt a thing in her back. Dr. Hitu has created a very positive environment, she is full of energy and her vibes are very positive. That is the main reason that every patient comes here in pain and with Dr. Hitu’s guidance and treatment they all feel fit and healthy in no time. Only one adverse thing is that, more patients cannot be accommodated at a time and it is a bit on the expensive side.

Worst doctor, worst physio i have ever met. They look at a patient like their prey. They will do anything to make your bill higher and higher. They don't see report of other lab. You have to take medicine from them. You have to take therepy from them either it's required or not. Hell of a clinic.
