Our Review on the experience on Customer Service: We share a mixed experience of services from Star Health. The company though is flexible due to its small size of retail operations, has all the issues that a normal small enterprise would have. Standard quality of staff, Reliance on one or two critical staff, absence of whom can hamper service big time etc.
