I have had the pleasure of knowing Uday and Alka for the last 30 years. They embody the most fundamental tenets of being a doctor. They are learned, ethical, and humane individuals who not only alleviate the distress of their patients but also enrich their lives with their compassion and wisdom. Many an engaging conversation I have had with them whilst on the dental chair and have left feeling enriched for the experience. I am happy that they have expanded their ongoing practice so that more individuals can avail of their expertise
