Mohd Shahid Ahmed Patient

Having suffered for anxiety for many years, i finally decided to get my root cause fixed. Having done a search, I decided to consult in ANC where I met Dr Balaji Sainath. A very down to earth person who patiently went through all my listed problems and prescribed the right medicines, also suggested psychometric test to be done which was carried out by Dr Nissi Rufus. She conducted the rorschach inkblot test took the notes and gave a report. Overall a good experience, diagnosis in right direction. I would recommend ANC for any one suffering from anxiety depression and other mental related issues
