Write a Reviewআমার বাবার চোখে বারবার জল পড়ত আর ঝাপসা দেখত। আমরা ডাঃ হিমাংশু শেখরের কাছে গিয়েছিলাম। উনি খুব মনোযোগ দিয়ে পরীক্ষা করে জানালেন রেটিনার সমস্যা। ধৈর্য নিয়ে সব বুঝিয়ে দিলেন আর সঠিক চিকিৎসা দিলেন। কয়েক সপ্তাহের মধ্যেই অনেক উন্নতি হয়েছে। এমন আন্তরিক ডাক্তার খুব কম দেখা যায়।
डॉ हिमांशु शेखर ने मेरी आंखों का नंबर सही किया।
I was worried about my mother’s glaucoma, but Dr. Himanshu Shekhar’s calm explanation and treatment gave us so much relief.
ডাঃ হিমাংশু শেখর আমার চোখের পাওয়ার ঠিক করে দিলেন। এখন পড়াশোনা করতে কোনো সমস্যা হচ্ছে না, খুব ভালো ডাক্তার।
Pichle saal mujhe corneal infection ho gaya tha. Maine Dr Himanshu Shekhar se consult kiya. Unhone bohot patiently mera treatment kiya aur proper drops likhe. Sirf 10 din mein aankh bilkul theek ho gayi. Jo unka confidence aur behavior hai, usse lagta hai patient safe hands mein hai.
मेरे पापा को आंखों से धुंधला दिखना शुरू हो गया था। हम डॉ हिमांशु शेखर के पास गए। उन्होंने रेटिना जांच की और दवाई दी। कुछ हफ्तों में ही सुधार दिखने लगा। डॉक्टर बहुत शांति से समझाते हैं और मरीज का पूरा भरोसा जीत लेते हैं। उनका व्यवहार बहुत विनम्र है।
Dr. Himanshu Shekhar treated my cataract so smoothly. Grateful indeed.
আমার মা'র চোখে ছানি পড়েছিল। আমরা ডাঃ হিমাংশু শেখরের কাছে গেলাম। উনি অপারেশনটা খুব সুন্দরভাবে করলেন। এখন মা একদম পরিষ্কার দেখতে পাচ্ছেন। ডাক্তারবাবুর আচরণ, বুঝিয়ে বলার ধরণ, আর রোগীর প্রতি যত্ন সত্যিই প্রশংসনীয়। এমন ডাক্তার খুব কম দেখা যায় আজকাল। আমরা সবাই খুব খুশি।
Mujhe eye strain aur headache hota tha. Dr Himanshu ne eye test karke perfect specs diye, ab sab theek hai.
