She is great. She is great with kids. My daughter likes to go to her. She is concerned about the wellness of the child. One problem is that the consultation fee is bit more expensive.
I’ve had with a doctor at Apollo. As an NRI, this was my first time visiting a pediatrician in India for my baby. I was concerned about my baby’s weight and appetite and thought he might need supplements.
Dr. Shyamla J prescribed medicines along with iron tablets, assuming my baby needed them because he is vegetarian. I was skeptical, as no iron test was done, and I worried the iron tablets might cause stomach discomfort, especially since my baby already had a low appetite. The next morning, I sought a second opinion *** ********* *** ** *********
However, my baby developed sudden diarrhea with blood in his stool the following day. I rushed to the OPD, where only Dr. Shyamla J was available. Desperately, I asked her to examine my baby, but she ********** refused, stating she wouldn’t treat him ******* * *** ******** ******** *** ******** *** ********** *************** I strongly advise against visiting her. *** ******* ****** ****** *** ** ***** *********

We showed her recently. My child get very afraid of her after seeing her behaviour with us. We took an appointment on Tuesday. Then she told to us to do some test and said us to come next day with reports at 12:00. We go there at the mention time on mentioned date (Wednesday) . Doctors secretory told us that doctor will see the report at 1. Then the secretory at 1:30 told us that she will not see the report and told us to come next day. We told the same thing to the doctor. The doctor is taking side of the secretary and behaved with us very rudely. Will not show her second time.
