Dr. Dua is very respected and kind heart doctors who just not the treat his patients even he is more concerned about his patient as a family member. He has been treating my father since 2016 and he always told truth about my father's medical condition. He never suggested anything wrong which is not beneficial in long term or rarely needed. So I can say he rarely comes in money minded people category. I am very thankful to him for treating my father so well.
