I had visited the Narayana Nethralaya Rajajinagar Bangalore. I had taken the consultation of Dr. S. Yathish sir Ophthalmologist He referred me to Dr. Priyanka.V. Walvekar oncology services. I was totally impressed by the way I was treated from the beginning till the end of my treatment She is not only an Excellent Doctor but also very caring and soft spoken. She is empathetic to the concerns of her patients. She treated my eye problems and filled confidence in my life I never found a commercial nature while treating my problem. She will advise the surgery when it is very much required for the patients. I will strongly recommend Dr. Priyanka V . Walvekar and the hospital I wish her all the best.
