Hoped for better: Doctor friendlinessTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
so me and husband wanted to do a MTP as we were not ready for the child. and we were wanting the best doctor for us as we did not want any complications in the future. so we found dr Vanita Vaishnav and checked the reviews and thought she would be the best pic.(not knowing what was awaiting us)
we went there and discussed, so she was very polite and asked us to get my blood tests and ultrasound done so that she could proceed further. and asked us to send the reports on whatsapp and called us at Apollo clinic(HSR layout). she told us about the whole procedure and asked us to pay while she gave the MTP kit to me. okay first of all the amount we paid for half an hour of her precious time, a MTP Kit for 300-400rs and an after MTP ultrasound (1500 Generally anywhere) was hefty(8.3k).but we didn't flinch at all thinking that she would be there guiding us about the complications and depression MTP could bring. And also the guidance on contraceptives methods were also a part of the procedure.
so she asked us to come back and take an ultrasound after a week or so of the procedure at Apollo only. we went there on time only to find out she wasn't there and probably was on vacation. we still didn't mind and had a call with her. the way she talked was not the same as she was talking before the amount was paid( actually we told, we were leaving the city soon, so would be better if she can meet or guide us further on contraception, she replied- just because u are leaving the city does not change my procedure). after the call, we went and asked the receptionist about the ultrasound. ohh God, the service that clinic provides is very bad, nobody pays attention to the patients, faced total ignorance from the entire team and the guy who was to do the ultrasound. after a long verbal spat, they kind of sent us to some other diagnostic centre. things at that diagnostic centre were fine.
so after the ultrasound and after few days, i was facing some serious depression, which i wanted to discuss with the doctor and thought may be she could give some input , but there wasn't any reply. i ignored and went on to ask about the contraceptive methods which she told she would definitely help with as its part of the procedure. messages were getting read , but i never got a single reply from her.
but the same doc until payment was done was replying to me normally. * ***** **** **** **** *** * *** **** **** ******* ***** **** ****** * *** *** *** **** * ********* ***** **** **** *** **** *** ********

Most unpleasant of experiences with any doctor I ever have had. *** ******* ****** ****** ** ****
I went to check for ****** symptom of not being able to hear clearly mostly due to wax accumulation in my left ear. ******* **** ******** ** *** ** ******* ************ ***** ** ********* ****** *****. After he was done convincing me for taking a scan of my nose to treat a thyroid condition, he finally looked at my ear. Now with minimal discussion he straightaway started the procedure of wax removal without even wearing gloves or sanitizing hands or tools. ** *** *** ****** *** ******** ********* ** ***** ******* ***** ** ****** *** *** *** **** ***** *** ******** he started poking some sharp tools through my ears to pull out the hardened wax. As it was extremely painful, I was hesitant to complete the process but did the mistake of trusting a doctor who is with Narayana Multispeciality hospital.
** *** *** **** ** ****** ** **** *** was asking me to keep my head on his desk so he can see through my ear clearly.. I had to ask why don’t you treat me while I am laying down on the patient bed in the same cabin ****** ** * ****** ******* During the procedure I was under so much pain and discomfort as he was pulling some had substance through my ear canal with some sharp tools *** ********** ***** ** ******** ** *** ***** *********** *** *** *** ******** *** * *** ** ************ *** ****** ***** *** ****** ** ***** **** **** ** ** ***** I didn’t even want to wait for him to finish his prescription after that horrible experience of suffering pain due to injuries to my ear canal. Looking at my pain, at the end, he applied local anaesthesia liquid (after the procedure was already done) and went on to tell me that he didn’t apply the anaesthesia first, hence it was painful. On top of it he made a statement that, “there might be a pre-existing hole in your eardrums that you might have ignored all these days and the wax was blocking the hole. Now when we removed the wax that hole is bleeding.” I was so traumatised I almost felt violated.
Straight away I ran to see another ENT specialist ** ****** *** ****** ** *** ** ** **** *** ****** ****** **** ****** ** **** ***** ********* *** *** **** *** *** ***** ** ***** *** ********* *** ** *** ******** **** *** ***** ******** *** ** ***** ***** ***** *** **** ******** ** ******* ***** ** ** **** ******* ** *** ** ***** ** *** *** ** ***** **** *** *** ******** ** **** ****** ******** *** ********* ****
As I am writing this review, I still am in discomfort, pain and having emotional trauma due the experience, hoping for faster recovery of ear canal from the injuries he inflected upon me during the simple basic wax removal procedure.
Please if you have read till here, save yourself from having incorrect diagnosis, wasting of time, money and energy. Go for the next option on your doctors’ list as so much trouble is not at all worth it!
It has been a nightmare of a day for me!
Visited Ms. Veena Sisodia (Physiotherapist) For Knee Pain Physiotherapy
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
I casually mentioned that I had issues with my knees during a health checkup. I ignored the pain for over 5 years and had lived with it thinking there was nothing that could be done about it. I used to love running, but I gave it up completely. Dr. Veena took the time to clearly mention what could possibly be causing the pain and how it can be treated. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical at first. But I started seeing results in just a couple of sessions. Initially, she worked on releasing the muscles and she gradually increased the intensity of the exercises. At this point, I am back to running and doing all the activities that I avoided in the past. And this happened in a short span of 45 days.Dr. Veena is very dedicated and most importantly explains everything clearly and patiently, even when you ask the same question multiple times. She even lets you know when certain activities would increase the pain and what needs to be ignored and what shouldn't be ignored. That certainly put my mind at ease.

Visited Dr. Vanita Vaishnav (Obstetrician) For Pre and Post Delivery Care
We were planning for pregnancy when we consulted Dr. Vanita.
The approach doctor took from the start of consultation was very detailed and she took time to understand issues and counsel us. I did not feel the need to discuss issues with anyone else as Dr ensured I'm adequetly informed about the stages of pregnancy, required tests, precautions, medicines etc.
I had a very good experience for my complete consultation process, amd would recommed Dr Vanita to patients who need to discuss and understand their problems and the right treatment.

So she advised me to take medications and recommended meications for the same and ask me to come after 15 days for follow-up. She explained medicines in a good way as well as symptoms and side effects related to high sugars. I'm continuing her treatment. I do recommend her. Thank you doctor for your concern to me.

Second time, I contacted him over phone when I was facing some severe health issue, he helped me a lot and provided a good medical treatment and advise to me to recover from that bad health condition. Many thanks to the doctor for his great patience and understanding the patient condition and providing medical treatment with his profound knowledge.
Visited Dr. Ramnaresh Soudri (Cardiologist)
We have consulted the doctor for my father treatment. Doctor is highly experienced , very friendly and patiently explained the causes of illness. He educated me about the BP goal, i used to think 150 is normal range,but he explained the importance of BP control to avoid complications in future. Upon consultation doctor had suggested to change the medicine for BP. We started monitoring regularly and since then there was no fluctuations in his BP like earlier. Very much liked his consultation and referred to my relatives as well.
Most important thing is doctor doesn't suggest unnecessary tests and investigations unless required.
