Sharing her experience, Shreya (name changed) from Bengaluru said, “We were trying to conceive for a very long time. Sadly, we were facing trouble with the same and we couldn’t do much about it. My husband is always travelling because of his work and with his busy schedule, reaching out to a specialist seemed impossible. I came across DocsApp when I was looking for doctors online. I checked their app and it seemed genuine, so I consulted online on DocsApp. I was instantly connected to “Dr Ritu Chaudhry” and a few months down the line, I was expecting. The doctor was so helpful that we connected on a personal level & I even delivered my little one at her clinic. Constant support from the doctor made me feel safer”.
