Thousands of experiences after treatment
Chetna Sharma
"I had visited Dr. Garima predominantly for an issue with neck and shoulder pain. Irritation was another issue that i reported. It was great experience meeting her. She understood the issue clearly and has prescribed massage treatment for the issue. I have been using it for a week now and feel better already. In fact she also helped me understand why and how the cervical issue itself is leading to irritability. I am quite happy with my experience and would recommend her to anyone facing similar issues."
Archit kansal
"Great experience . I barely waited to be helped when I checked in. The staff and Dr. Garima were all very friendly and helpful. I especially loved how Dr. Garima really took her time to explain my conditions with me as well as my treatment options. I had a great visit and I started feeling better the same day, so I highly recommend visiting the clinic (Sukhayubhava Holistic Ayurveda & Panchakarma)"
