I have visited Dr. Banu for my kidney stones which got stuck on the urinary track. He helped me out of that situation. He is great in diagnosis and very patiently explained me the procedure. Best part is 2 times 2 of the stones got stuck and that came out only by right medications by Dr. Banu. Thanks a lot.
