Consultation and Tests (EMG NCV)

The Clinics

The Naranpura clinic is located in a modern office building that is very easily accessible, being at the intersection of 132″ Ring Road and Ankur – Shastrinagar road (Pallav Char Rasta). Clinic can also be accessed via the BRTS (Shastrinagar stop on RTO – Maninagar route).

Naranpura Clinic has two electrophysiology labs, focused on EMG /NCV/RNS/VEP/BAER and Autonomic testing. The labs have state of the art machines and computers for nerve and muscle testing from Neurosoft, Russia to perform electro-physiological tests. The EMG machines are portable, capable of doing bed-side EMG /NCS/RNS tests for critically ill patients in hospitals. Note that the neurophysician does not do home-visits.

In Bopal, Dr Swati Shah consults with patients at Saraswati Hospital, located near Vakil Saheb Bridge on SP Ring Road. It can be accessed via the BRTS (Bopal Approach stop on the route to Ghuma)

Both clinics have easy wheel-chair access and modern lift capable of carrying patients in a stretcher.
