Very great advice. Great listener. String support. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Battar is most comforting, I was safe to express myself to her and she managed to help me understand and cope with my troubles. She has a very soothing voice and compassionate tone . I look forward to speaking with her when I feel confused or sad and even when I’m happy , she’s like a reminder I am not alone and my problems are rectifiable.
