HSR Neuro Clinic

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 *** *** ***** ** ******* * ********** ******* * ****** *** ******* ** ****** ********** *** *** * ******* ** *** **** ****** *** **** ************

I had been having nerve pain and neck pain since 2014. I was only diagnosed properly in 2018 when a doctor suggested Xray and MRI. Before that other doctors suggested TMJ, Stress, smoking, or mental illness as my problem. And one even suggested some Ayurveda camp absurdly,

Since 2018 i had been doing repreated physiotheraphy to correct my problem. And it was not getting better.

Now in 2022, another senior neurosurgeon doctor who is a senior from school suggested - i might have peripheral neiropathy as well.And asked me to meet a neurologist.

So i went ahead and booked an apoointment with Dr Advaith, met him and the story is as follows -

He started with how ambitious i must be at work and he is also like that. then he ignored listening to all my probles of pains everyday and pains sometimes to the extent that i had to be rushed to emergency from office.

Then he showed me and my wife a piece of paper to check how good a quality of life are we living, eating on time, meditating etc.

Then he showed us a selkf help book and suggested more books to read about the approach to life.

And also gave us a flyer to connect with some Anapana ashram and spend some time there.

Some Nikhil mehta youtube channels to watch.

He went ahead and wrote in the diagnosis as - MRI C spice twice - no significant abnormalities (WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE MRI scan and report!!!)

Suddenly, i remembered him - he was working at Narayana HSR Layout back when my cervical issues were not diagnosed properly. I had rushed to the emergency there due to my nerve pain episode and had to meet him as well.

He had done exactly as he did 2-3 days back.

I told him on his face - i remember you. you did the same thing *** ***** ********* ** **********

Alternative medical care is good * *** *** **** ***** ***** ******* **** **** ******** ***** There are physiological issues at hand.

** ** * ******** ****** ** *** **** ** * *************

Don't spend your 1000 bucks here. And avoid him. ****** **** *** *** *** ** *** *** ******* ******** ***** ** *** ******** ***************** * *** ******* ****** ** ******* *** * ****** ********* *** ******** **** ****** ** *****

I visited Dr. Advait for migraine and slight memory issue treatment. After the consultation, I've lost all the trust with the Practo reviews. So, firstly after reading all the huge number of positive reviews for Dr. Advait, I booked for a same day appointment and walked in. There was a receptionist, she informed me the consultation fee is Rs.1000. I paid, walked in and narrated my issue of migraine and most importantly the memory issue. The doctor finished the consultation in barely 10 minutes. He didn't really seem interested to educate the patient on the root cause, or even regarding the treatment which can better the condition of the patient. ** ****** **** ** ** ********** ** *** ************ **** ** *** **** ** **** ** ***** *********** *** * ***** ***** ** *** **** ****** ** **** *** *** **** ** ** **** * ******** ** ***** **** ********** Didn't even suggest what are the lifestyle changes I should make. Didn't even help me understand how I can better my condition. Just friendly advise like eat proper food, sleep well and don't get stressed is not the kind of medical help we pay money and seek for. **** ****** ** **** *** ******** ********* they genuinely don't care for the patients' health. And to my surprise, as soon as I came out, the receptionist asked me " How was the consultation?... Can you please give a 5 star rating online?". **** **** ** ******* *** ****** ******* **** ************ And as I seemed confused on how to finish it, she took my phone and gave the review by HERSELF. ** **** ** *** ****** ****** ***** So, I'd never suggest this doctor or the clinic to anyone who is looking for a satisfactory treatment. Just loss of time and money!

This is about my mother. She is suffering from Cerebral Epilepsy since 15 yrs now. We have shown to several doctors in dibrugarh and mumbai but no results. She had episodes of falling down 2-3 times a month.

Then we moved to Bangalore and consulted Dr. Advaith. It worked like a miracle and we have observed that her episodes have reduced to 0 for more than 6 months. Only thing we found is her Parkinsons has increased. But that is also reduced by proper medicine schedule and prescription.

I would recommend Dr. Advaith for any Neuro related problems.
