Testimonials

I had cataract surgery for both eyes recently at Bhaskar eye care on Ghodbhunder road. Dr Nikhil Negalur and his team were very polite, supportive and caring. I was very impressed by their willingness to answer all my questions. Dr Nikhil took the time to call me after the surgery to see how I was doing - I sincerely appreciate this personal attention. Even during the surgery he made sure that I was comfortable. Ms Vaibhavi was also very kind and patient in clarifying doubts. Right from the people at the reception desk, to the doctors and even the service staff, all the people here provide the best care possible. I wish them success in all they do and may they scale greater heights.

Lakshmi Iyer Patient

Viraj Dharap Patient

My father had undergone Cataract surgery under Dr Nikhil Negalur!! Awesome doctor, he was so friendly and made my dad so comfortable and everything went at ease!! Even the staff was so supportive and caring!! Thank you so much Dr Nikhil Negalur!!

Karishma Tripathy Patient

The doctor and his team did a thorough and diligent job of checking the power in my eyes. I previously had frequent headache and was not wearing the right spectacles. I have both near and far vision problem. To prescribe the correct specs is apparently not easy in such a case. Despite that, the clinic did such a seamless job of giving me the right number over 3 visits. The charges are nominal and the doctor gives each patient sufficient attention.
