Patient's feedback on Stye/Chalazion treatment
My daughter Jayvi Bhanushali (3.5 yrs old)was suffering from stye since 2 to 3 months, and it was not healing until, unless I met Dr. Sheetal Bhanushali, i must say, she's a wonderful, soft spoken and with lot of patience with my daughter. I might forget sometime to report her but she never forgets to ask for the report after every dosage of her medicines, I was tensed, as the stye was getting reddish n big but she even managed to calm me down.... With her medication, my daughter has a speedy recovery. First time in my life I experienced the effect of homeopathy medicines is faster then Alopathy... and it amazed me at the same time... I am so thankful to her...
