Dr. Advait Kulkarni

The doctor was very calm and composed, carefully listened to my symptoms, and explained the reasons behind them. He confidently prescribed medication first and suggested an MRI only if needed later, which I appreciated. He also reassured me that no follow-up was necessary unless problems persist.

I am extremely happy and satisfied with the consultation and care provided by Dr. Advait Kulkarni. ** ** ***** * *** ** * *******

We got our dad 63 years to the hospital on emergency when he got seizures for the first time. Primary investigation just told sodium level in blood was low so he got seizures. But doctors didn’t stop there. The case was handed over to Dr. Advait Kulkarni, nuerophysician. He did further investigations to find out the root cause for the seizures. My dad was moved to ICU. He was in unconscious state. We were continuously told by Dr. Kulkarni that not to worry he ll be fine soon. Our only hope was his positive words. With the symptoms itself he could relate the case to a strange disease called Autoimmune encephalitis and started treating him even before reports came. The investigations and medication on time helped my dad recover fast. Now he is recovering much faster than what’s expected. My dad liked Dr. Kulkarni for his friendly nature and convincing nature. As a doctor he is grounded, friendly and positive. This nature of his cures 50% of psychological diseases. We are really satisfied with his treatment.

This is going to be a long story of my distasteful experience with Dr. Advait. I had started developing pain and swelling on my right neck region which further spread to my shoulder, back, head, ear, arm, hand, palm and fingers; all on the right side. After running from general physician, ENT, dentist and orthopaedic; and multiple medicines, I decided to consult with Dr. Advait for the unbelievably positive reviews on Practo. Hence, I went to him and got a sense of relief when he said that it's nothing serious, removed my previous medication, prescribed me physiotherapy at his clinic for 10 days and just one vitamin tablet. Being far from my place and not having a private vehicle, I chose to take physiotherapy at a clinic 2mins away from my home. According to Dr. Advait I was fit to start working post 4-5days of my consultation with him, but surprisingly my physiotherapist recommended 7 days of complete bed rest as my condition was really severe and had become chronic. Once done with physio, I resumed work and in an hour of working, my pain had come back. This time so severe that I couldn't bear, I had no choice but to continue with shortened hours for one more day until my right hand felt completely weak and as if I had lost all sensation. I couldn't even have food. My physiotherapist recommended getting a scan and asked me to check with Dr. Advait once. I went for the follow up the same day, that's today and I was asked to pay 1k as consultation although it was just a follow-up. I denied.Now, the moment I sat I started speaking of my issues and was worried. Dr. Advait ******* ******* **** ******** *** told me to go upstairs and get an MRI done and come back, his words right after "I usually charge 1k after 5 days of consultation but if you avail our services (MRI scan) I won't charge you. You do the scan and come back." I was shocked but obeyed and went to the reception where I was asked to pay 7.5k upfront and my prescription taken.I had 7k in my pocket after all the running around from doctor to doctor, multiple medicine courses and needed some time to arrange the 500 bucks and cab fare to return home. I started calling up people, in the meantime I was asked twice by the receptionist to hurry up as (their words) Dr. Advait had called twice if I had done my scan or to pay the consultation. Multiple phone calls later, things felt not very reliable and decided to go to a ****** hospital to get my scan done. I was taken aback when the receptionist wasn't returning back my prescription for not paying consultation fee(please note, there was no consultation. there was no new prescription involved, nothing recommended to cure my condition; just an instruction to go get the MRI done from his clinic ***** * *** ***** ** **** ****** ******** **** Was I going to run away with his 1k* ***** ** ****** **** ******* * **** ********* ***** ********* ** ** ********* ******* ****** ***** *** But I paid, silently I paid him 1k *** ******* *** went back home crying with 6k in my pocket without any idea of how I'm going to start all over again with all the running from doctor to doctor, medicine to medicine.*** **** *** ***** ****** ** * ***** *********** ****** **** **** * ******* ***** ** ******* *** ******** ***** ******* *** ****** * ** ********* ***** *** **** *** ********* ** **** ********* ** ******* **** *** It pains to think that like the past one month, I will have to spend another sleepless night crying in pain.****** **** ***** ** ******** **** *** ** ****** **** ***** ** **** *** ******** *** * ******* *** ***** ** **** ** **** ******* **** ****** ****** ******* ******* *** ********* It costs nothing to be kind *** *** ***** ** ******* * ********** ******* * ****** *** ******* ** ****** ********** *** *** * ******* ** *** **** ****** *** **** ************
