Consulted Dr. Priyanka V Walvekar for Ophthalmology eyelid issues surgery. She is excellent doctor. She explained the issue patiently and also the surgery details. She made me comfortable and made me understand that the procedure will be painless and nothing to worry. She was very active during the surgery and did it such that I didn’t experience any pain. I have recovered well now and thanks to the doctor for the excellent care.
