Overall, a pleasant experience.

I visited Dr. Shibal Bhartiya, an eye doctor with a remarkable reputation in the field of ophthalmology in the month of Feb. From the moment I walked into her clinic, I knew I was in capable hands.

She shared insights and recommendations for maintaining optimal eye health. I highly recommend Dr. Shibal to anyone seeking top-quality eye care.

I went to Dr Shibal with some apprehension but I found her a competent ophthalmologist and a noble soul. She makes her patients very comfortable with full of empathy. She is full of energy, positivity and is enthusiastic about her work. I highly recommend her.
I have been visiting here since last 12 years (Routine check up) and will continue do so.The best thing about Dr. Shibal is the way she handles the patient, I visit here once in a year but she can still remember me is the greatest thing, It shows how connected she is with the people.Today (12/Jan) during my visit we talked about my eye and about the life how we have grown up.Thank you so much Ma'am, keep Smiling always 😊..
