Excellent Doctor!
I have recently been to Dr Puran because I experience persistent headaches for the past 4 years. I was surprised at how friendly he is and how he makes one feel so comfortable. He efficiently recommended the necessary tests and started me on medication that was required. He is definitely a physician that i would recommend to anyone who is in need of one.
Knowledgable and professional advise.
Dr Puran’s attention to detail and friendly bedside manner helped me through a stressful and difficult illness.
Great Doctor Who Knows His Stuff !
My family & friends though I had TB, with a constant cough for 6 months straight, I was referred to Dr R Puran by my GP, he examined me listened to my cough and nodded his head, I asked him if anything was wrong, & if he suspects anything, he just said he it could be sarcoid of the lung but needs to do tests to confirm, so he sent me for a biopsy and what he suspected was True when the results came back.
Another great thing about Dr R Puran is he is not very uptight you can relax and be yourself around him, I cannot say this about many doctors but this one seems to have be a peoples person.
