Parking at the hospital was a nightmare, and the clinic was packed. I was skeptical. But Dr. Shyamala Devi cut through the chaos. She was focused, asked clear questions about my son's allergy symptoms, and adjusted his medication plan on the spot. Saw real improvement in a week. She knows her stuff and gets straight to the point.
