Dr. Makhijani has an excellent, holistic approach. She is very thorough, asks and listens to all symptoms and takes a wholesome view, before treating. I feel confident that I am with a highly qualified doctor who cares about giving the right treatment and advice, and cares to do the right thing. I am very happy to have her as my doctor.
