Write a ReviewDr Desai treated my psoriasis flare very gently. His topical plan and follow up care helped tremendously.
ನನಗೆ ಹಲವಾರು ತಿಂಗಳುಗಳಿಂದ ತಲೆ ತ್ವಚೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ತೀವ್ರ ಉರಿ ಮತ್ತು ಡ್ಯಾಂಡ್ರಫ್ ಇರಲಾರಂಭಿಸಿತು. ಡಾ ಶಂಕರ್ ದೇಸಾಯಿ ಅವರನ್ನು ಭೇಟಿಯಾದಾಗ ಅವರು ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಯ ಮೂಲವನ್ನು ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ವಿವರಿಸಿದರು. ಅವರು ಕೊಟ್ಟ ಔಷಧಿ ಮತ್ತು ತೈಲ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆ ಎರಡೂ ಬಹಳ ಪರಿಣಾಮಕಾರಿ ಆಗಿ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡಿತು. ಈಗ ತಲೆ ತ್ವಚೆ ತುಂಬಾ ಆರಾಮವಾಗಿದೆ.
Dr Desai solved my acne scars beautifully. Very satisfied.
मेरी बेटी को सालों से एटोपीक डर्माटाइटिस था। डॉक्टर ने दवाइयों और स्किन केयर से उसे बहुत राहत दिलाई।
I had been struggling with severe hair fall for months. After meeting Dr Shankar Desai, things finally made sense. He checked my scalp, suggested a customised PRP session along with nutrition adjustments. Within three months, I could actually see new growth. I felt so relieved. His calm way of explaining every step truly built my confidence.
