I completely liked the attention.
Hi, I had a very great experience with the doctor. This was actually my second time, well, the second gastro doctor that I went to. And the first one I wasn't too comfortable with how the doctor had listened to me and like the recommendations that she made. But when I visited Dr. Payal, I was really comfortable with how she paid attention to my husband and I when we spoke about our child's problems and the recommendations that she gave. She gave reasoning behind it and she answered all of our questions. I did not feel rushed at all. So it was just a really great experience, especially dealing with a child, with my child. And I wanted to make sure that I'm doing everything possible. So I felt very, very great speaking to the doctor and hopeful that her recommendations are going to work. I'm very, very grateful.
We love Dr. Makadia! Always very detailed and patient, she explains everything and makes sure we understand.
Dr. Makadia is an exceptional doctor. My son has special needs and she's always so thorough, tries to investigate anything I bring up, cares for him in a way that other doctors don't, and we are so, so grateful for her. She's an excellent, excellent physician and she's a very compassionate person. Thank you.
That's okay. It's very nice, excellent work, and that's a start, too. Thank you.
