Our Services
We have two out-patient clinics, focused on treatment of dizziness, headache, movement and memory related disorders, pain and numbness/tinging, epilepsy and other neurology related disorders in adults. There is a special focus on neuromuscular disorders such as neuropathy, Gullian Barre Syndrome (GBS), myopathy, myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophy and motor neuron disease.
The Naranpura clinic has two state of the art electrophysiology labs focused on testing of nerves, muscles and neuro-muscular junctions. These tests help us understand the reason why some patients have weakness in their arms or legs or the cause of their pain/numbness. They also help identify if its a nerve, muscle or neuromuscular junction problem and localise the same.

I was admitted under Dr Swati Shah’s care for a life-threatening ailment. She was there for me at midnight, when we got admitted and spent lot of time, explaining what the issue was to my husband and family. Even after the discharge, she has been extremely accessible for ensuring ongoing medication changes and always willing to spend those extra minutes to make me feel comfortable. Thanks a million to Dr Swati for a wonderful new life.
