Today I had visited for my gastritis problem with the doctor, the doctor was very patient to explain the various causes and also kind enough to guide me through the medication. Dint straight away jumped into endoscopy which many doctors do. I would recommend this doctor to all and you will never be disappointed.

Little bit of history about how I reached Amarkishen - as you all are doing I did Google and browse for the best reviews.
Travelled from Melbourne (Australia) to check on my gastric issues and confirm what is the cause. Well the doctor started with endo ** **** ** **** ********** **** ** I dint mind as he had to do the preliminary checks.
Later found out there was small ulcers being formed on my small intestine.
I told him I am completely depending on him as I am in India just for few months and want to get rid of the issue completely. He promised that he will treat and take care of me.
He also tested for my pylori h which he did not bother to share the results at all (he asked me not to worry about it now)
He gave a 12 days course tablets *** ******* ****** ******** ****** *** ** *** ** ***** ******** *** ******** *** ****** Had a lot of questions which he did not answer to any of it properly (all he said was don't worry leave it to me) I still believes.
Then he gave me a next 12 days course only good was he added tablets to stop diarrhea and infact it stopped.****** *** ** ******** *** ******** ***** *** ** *** *** one fine day I stopped having the feel of hunger and lost a lot of weight .. the continuing weekend I had continuous fever which did not stop for more than 24 hours and I got worried it was a Sunday - unfortunately he isn't working on Sunday.
Later drove to emergency of Manipal Jayanagar so atleast I can get admitted . But due to many covid patients in emergency I was asked to bare it for another day and see him on OPD.
And it's Monday morning I go and meet him with almost no strength to talk and continuous fever still.
He sees me and as soon as I explained that I am waiting for two days to meet him. He started behaving bad - he said you should not come to OPD with fever symptoms as you are putting me at risk.
He spoke to someone on emergency and asked me to get COVID tested first to confirm and then bring me to OPD.
Every time you visit this man he needs a new consultation ******* ***** ** ***** ** ******** ***** ** ****** ** ***** ** ****** ***** **** *** *** ******* ** *** ****** ** *** ***** **** ** ** * ****** ** ** ****** ******** *** ** *** ******** ****** *** *** ****** **** * ****** *** ******* ***** **** ***** ****** ************ ****** ******* ** ********* **** ********* ** ***** ********* Later I had to find a different gastro in the emergency and had to admit to get my treatments started with.
Please guys stay away from this ** ***** doc. ** ***** *** *** * ******* If possible please go through your real time feedbacks like contacts through friends and family. ***** **** *** ************ ***** *** ****

** ** *** * ********** ** * **** *********** ** **** **** **** Extremely rude, very arrogant - his tone and pitch completely changed the moment we said that "we will get the test done and come back to you with reports" - he himself wanted to do the endoscopy ** **** ** *** ******** **** *** ** ** *** *** ***** ***** * ** ********* **** "I will accept the blood reports only if you get it done from xxxxxx... I don't trust anyone else" - *** ***** ** *** ******** ** *** ***** ***** ******** ** *** ** *** ******** ******** *** ** ** **** *** ******* *** *** ******** ** **** *** ********* He says things like "I have advised you to get the test done from me and right away, now it's on you to decide...I am not responsible if something happens" Would NOT RECOMMEND HIM AT ALL...

doctors…..not explaining the health issues…I visited 3 times….**** **** ******* *****….3 test colonoscopy…..endoscopy….and again colonoscopy…*** ***** ** ********* **** **** ** ** **** *** ** *******.almost 15000 thousand charges for both test…**** *** ** ******** ************ *** ******** ****** **** ******** * ************** ****** **** ********.iam not recommending this doctor
I had a consultation with Mr Amar. He just listens to all your Symptoms and just replies in one line. You need to go for Endoscopy. He does not give u any tablets or any advice. Even for a minor symptoms. That his only advice. Also all the patients were found going to the Endoscopy. Plz consider before you Consult. It is really not worth it.
At the initial stage, I was feeling very anxious about the treatment. For the reason that I was subjected to a prolonged course and the medicines were expensive. But later on, I started to notice improvements. Now I am completely recovered and the whole credit goes to the doctor.
He helped me a lot with my health requirements. I took the complete course of medicines he has prescribed and it suited me well. I am doing really fine after the treatment. He was quite informative and explained to me about the condition evidently. But, if he could give a contact number, it would be helpful to reach out in need.
As I have gone there for my routine consultation, I had taken all my recent test reports to him. He examined thoroughly and discussed the issues in detail. However, he asked me to take some other tests again. It was kind of whole body check up. But I didn't see the necessity of those tests. Moreover, I was doing well enough and had no major issues. Although I am happy with his consultation, * **** ****** ** ***** *** *********** ******
The consultation was all good. Only a reasonable waiting time was there. The doctor made most of the required tests on his own. The prognosis was clearly explained by him. I am extremely satisfied with the treatment. ** ** ********** *** **** ** **********
