Really great experience with Dr Bahl. Listed all of the potential causes of my reason for visiting and was familiar with the insurer so gave direct support in what checks needed to be pre authorised etc which was extremely helpful. Referred me to great facilities for further checks and was very responsive when asking for official referral letters/documentation , overall a great experience

Thank you - you (and the other kind reviewers) have captured how I try to practice - much appreciated
I was extremely impressed with my recent visit to Dr. Romila Bahl. Her manner put me at ease and her communication was very clear and non technical. She patiently reviewed my problems taking into account actions by another consultant. Her examination of my physical movement was very complete before her part diagnosis of my condition was clearly explained and the way forward. A very professional and enjoyable review.
Thank you - really appreciate your kind words
Had two sessions for an issue with my foot. Dr Bahl is knowledgeable, professional and friendly. She accurately identified the pain points and recommended a path forward for a quick recovery and rehabilitation.
Thank you for taking the time to give a review - glad to help
