Tracy Nguyen

I visited the pinkal medical and aesthetic clinic and had the best experience with pinkal Gandhi ! Pinkal guided me through the best options for the concerns I had with my face which I felt was losing brightness, acne, scars , dull skin , pigmentation etc. She was extremely knowledgeable on what would be the best options based on the budget that I had. Pinkal is a lovely lady, made me feel completely at ease and I had the utmost confidence in her. I rely on her advice for appropriate treatments and am always delighted with the results. She is sympathetic to her client's wishes. I prefer a 'natural' looking result which she consistently achieves. As a whole, the clinic is extremely professional and friendly.
