Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The services that I received from Dr Kala is excellent. She ensures that I am well informed about my treatment and hospitalisation. Though she is a doctor she is very courteous and well mannered. Her staff members are very helpful. I have no qualms in recommending her for OB and Gyn issues.

I am very satisfied with Dr. Kala and her team. My case was a little bit complicated as I had a cyst in my ovary but I could not even feel any kind of pain or complications during my pregnancy period or even after delivery. Thanks to Dr. Kala and her team once again.
