Dr. Advait Kulkarni

It was the great experience meeting Dr Advit Kulkarni. We consulted him for Migraine treatment for my Mother. Doctor did not jump directly into medicine instead asked about the daily routine of my Mother's food habits and then suggested some life style changes and prescribed only single tablet with limited usage. And, it helped my Mother. Appreciate doctor friendliness approach and focused on lifestyle changes.

We have great experience with Dr Advait. He was super friendly and gave enough time for us to explain our situation. He explained the entire treatment and with minimal medication and physiothery. We visted for cervical spondylitis treatment and extremely happy with the treatment. Highly recommend him.

He is extremely good Dr. He explained the root causes of my problem and prescribed good medicines.

I am in Saudi Arabia and here Dr. suggested surgery for my disk bulge, but Dr. Kulkerni recommended physiotherapy. I have still pain but little better than before. I will keep posting the update.

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.

I do not recommend the doctor at all. I had really bad headache and was taking pain killers since few days. Doctor suggested MRI (insisted on their lab) which I got done. MRI came normal and after that he asked to continue on a diff pain killer. Could not explain why, just distributes a pamphlet on healthy lifestyle while ignoring what we are sharing. When I insisted, he told some people may be sensitive and thats why these things affect them more. The statement totally lacked empathy. I visited another doctor *** **** *** *** ********* ** ** ******* ******** ****** * *** ******* ** ********* ** ** *** **** *** *** *** ****** ** **** **** *** ***** ********** * **** ********* ******* ** **** * ******* ******** I would expect much better consultation and medical advice.

This allopathic doctor handed me a paper on good lifestyle habits and asked me to get an X-ray. I had severe tingling on the sides of my hip. I don't understand how the lateral view helped him understand my problem. Anyways, after staring at the x-ray report a couple of times, he said there was no issue observed in the report and asked me to give up my protein-based diet, referencing the "Vaata" issue of Ayurved. ** ** ****** ******** *** *********

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

Handed over a one pager for lifestyle improvement, and seemed interested only to handover a prescription

****** ******** ********* ******* ******** ******** ** ***** ** ** **** ** ** ******. The physio showed me 3 exercise which I was doing from sometime, and then charged 700. The doctor charged 1000 for no reason

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!
