I was suffering from severe cough, cold and headache. I consulted with so many doctors, but did not get relief. My friend told me about Dr. Satinder and I consulted with him. He gave five days medicine for these symptoms. Surprisingly, I got relief in two days only. I am thankful for his great treatment that he had given to me. Thanks a lot.

I can't explain how much pain I was going through due to the mump at right side of my face. I got really scared as ear & throat both were paining. My boss suggested Dr. Satinder Singh, ENT specialist. Really Thanks to him for such a kind support and treatment. Within a day I was relived from the pain.
Few days back, got ulcers on the throat due to which unable to even inhale or eat or drink anything. Come to Dr. Satinder and really it was really a safest and quickest treatment i got and started normal diet within 3 days.
