Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
Sharing personal experience ~ Sep & Oct 2024: We’re all familiar with Dr. Agarwal's Eye Hospital, a renowned private institution. This story is about my house help, who has been facing severe eye problems. One of her eyes has been non-functional due to an accident, possibly from her childhood. Recently, she began experiencing intense pain and sought help from government hospitals. After several visits, she was told that her infected eye would require surgery. Despite the urgency, her treatment was continually delayed.
At that point, we suggested she seek a second opinion from Dr. Agarwal's, just to confirm if surgery was truly necessary. She did, and the diagnosis came back the same—the surgery was unavoidable, and the cost would be around ₹1 lakh ( dont remember the exact amount) . The surgery involved replacing the entire eye along with the socket, a cost far beyond her financial means.
During a regular check-up, my spouse brought her case to Dr. Amod Nayak, the doctor we usually visit, though we had little expectation that he could assist in any significant way. To our surprise, Dr. Nayak took a genuine interest. After reviewing her case, we explained her situation, both medical and financial. He simply smiled and said, “We’ll do what we can to help, and together, she’ll be alright.”
He asked us to visit again and asked us to bring her in so he could explain the situation directly to her. I had prepared her beforehand, so she understood his advice. Dr. Nayak patiently explained the details and reasoning behind the cost. During that visit, he had already reduced the initial cost and ensured that she received special time slots, even when he wasn’t seeing other patients.
Dr. Nayak went above and beyond, speaking to the surgeon personally and arranging a package that was far more affordable than we had initially expected. He also made sure that all the doctors and hospital staff involved were fully aware of her case and the importance of the surgery.
Thanks to this exceptional support from the hospital, and with contributions from a few of us, she was able to undergo the surgery successfully. She’s now in the recovery phase, and we’re incredibly grateful. While I understand not every case receives this kind of attention, she was truly fortunate.
Doctors like Dr. Amod Nayak restore our faith in humanity and remind us of the goodness that still exists in the world.
For us, she is our house help—we know her, and we wanted to do whatever little we could to alleviate her pain. There was no obligation for Dr. Nayak to extend himself this much, yet he did, and we can’t thank him enough. For her, he’s like an angel sent by the almighty, and she shared those feelings with us.
Also, would like to mention about the team of doctors and hospital staff who supported through out.
We’re just happy to have been part of her journey, doing our small part. I wanted to share this beautiful experience we had with Dr. Agarwal's Eye Hospital, Whitefield .
Visited Dr. Mayanka Nayak (Ophthalmologist/ Eye Surgeon)
I visited her for dryness, itchiness, burning sensation in eyes. First visit she gave me eye gel, drops and a pain reliever and asked to visit in 2-3 week of time. Next visit, she changes the pain reliever and again 2 weeks and this time only she gets routine dialation and retina checks done ***** ****** **** **** **** ***** **** **** as I told her that my symptoms are from long time but she sent me off without taking it seriously. Lastly she said she will go with some dry eye test after 2-3 weeks of me putting same drops she prescribed.
She takes 3-4 minutes to wrap a patient visit, hurriedly telling you everything in one single breath. There are only 2 doctors in the clinic with good number of patients turning up due to brand name.
Lastly, which I missed checking in first place, she has only 8 years of experience and it shows in her treatment of patients, medical and otherwise.

I went for my father's cataract surgery in Dr. Agarwal Eye hospital Whitefield, Bangalore. Dr. Jammie did that surgery to best of her capability. She invited me to look at the surgery from viewing gallery. I looked at complete surgery. She is very skilled and performed surgery very nicely. My father is feeling quite well. I must say that she is an expert in her domain. Very skilled, confident, polite and caring doctor. Highly recommend her.

I just had the 2nd of my two cataract operations performed by Dr. Jammie Blah. She is an absolute professional, and very personable as well. I had 2 toric lens implants to correct for both astigmatism and spherical power. These are difficult to orient precisely, and she did an excellent job. My left eye is perfectly corrected for distance, and I expect the same for for the right eye which was operated on today. Painless, using only local anesthetics (eye drops).

I had visited this hospital for mothers eye checkup... We don't receive any doctor prescription as such. Hence my claim has been denied with other docs. I request hospital management to send original doctor prescription which is accepted for the claim. Though they are having all online Invoice system, doctor prescription is very essential for the patient for further follow ups.

Very unpleasant experience. My mother, who is 69 years old, had dry and itchy eyes so she wanted to consult a doctor. Dr. Blah diagnosed it to be some sort of infection and then from there said we should do a test for Glaucoma. We didn’t have time so we skipped that part. She prescribed antibiotic steroid which we were skeptical to, but she said everything will be fine. We got home and as soon as started her prescribed steroid, my mother’s eyes were bloodshot red and by the night got all swollen. From mere itching, this is now 1-2 week long ordeal to get her health in shape.She has a fever and cannot see much due to swollen eyes.
Dr. Blah in not a patient listener even if you try to tell her something, she will cut you off and start to talk on top on you.
