We will try to call out both positives and negatives in terms of consulting this doctor, while trying to be objective and not being judgemental.
Positives:
1) As pointed out by many others here, we completely agree that Dr. Reshu is one of those few doctors who do not prescribe *********** tests and medicines to the patients and empty their pockets; she suggests only those medicines that are absolutely required
2) She is very calm and composed all the time, and this calmness with composure can rub off to the patient*** *** ** ****** in minimal invasive surgeries which we got to experience positively during the LH surgery for my mom's uterus removal
4) She is very practical and objective in her approach during treatment
Negatives:
** **** ************* ****** *** **** ************* * *** ***** ******** ** ********* **** *************** ********* *********** the doctor can be objective and engage in only small-talk while treating the patient; but for issues like PCOS and Early Pregnancy Loss - Miscarriage in 1st trimester (which we are suffering from), where there is a lot of psychological and emotional trauma involved, you would expect the gynaec to not just focus on the medical treatment but also provide some counseling to patient who would be going thru lot of guilt and other emotional issues etc. due to miscarriage. A case in point being - we visited her 2 days ago with positive pregnancy test result and 35 HCG level, she asked us to do HCG test in 48 hrs and indicated that the levels are low for 5th week.. and when we told her today that she had heavy bleeding along with mucous fluids and all that stuff in the last 2 days and the HCG has dropped to 9, she told us **** ************ that this proves the pregnancy didn't work and she just asked us to wait for 1 month and resume planning till 3 months - she didn't even bother to ask how my wife's mental state is, whether she is feeling any guilt or negative concerns about conceiving in the future, she didn't bother to explain the biological process of what actually happened, what should have happened, and what should we do to improve our chances, ******* **** ** *** ******* ****** **** **** * all she said was that this could be anything, it is very normal, keep planning for another 3 months - btw, we have been planning since last 1.5-2 years and have been consulting her regularly regarding this; I also observed that she doesn't bother to go through previous reports in the file we gave to her, to check the history on TSH, Hb1Ac, Thyroid etc. She was asking us for those values, and when we couldn't remember, she asked us to have those tests again;
2) She always seems to be in a rush to send the patient away from the room, ** ** *** ******** ** ** ***** ** **** ******** ** ******** ** *** **** ******* **** ****** **** ***** **** **** **** ******* **** ***** ** ** causing stuff like not taking time to talk to patient about her emotional health, *** ******** *** *** ********* ****** ** ****** ******* not providing any counseling whatsoever, *** ***** ******* *** ******* ******* ** ****** ******** ******** *************** During the numerous visits we have made during last 3 years, it is my observation that her average consulting time per patient is hardly 3-4 minutes!
3) *** ************* ***** ** ****** ******* *** ************* **** *** **** ****** ** ********** **** ** *** **** ***** *** ***** ** ******** *** ****** **** **** ******* **** *** *** *** ************ ******* ** ****** ** ********* **** ** **** *** ******* **** *********** ** ** **** ** ******* ********** ** ******* ****** *** ********* ***** **** ********* ******* ***** She is also not very approachable in general; ** **** ** ** ********** ** *** **** ******** ****** *** ** **** ************ ****** ** ******* ****** she responds to your intense WhatsApp msgs with blunt one-liners, very similar to the face-to-face exchange.
This leads to an absolute lack of warmth or compassion or comfort feeling between the patient and her; with very mechanical and incomplete conversations.
