Hope there were more stars than just 5
I delivered a pre term baby where Dr Aruna Divakar was incharge of my baby. I'm very happy and satisfied by the way my baby was treated in NICU and in ward.
She developed jaundice after two days and it was taken care very well and my baby coped up better.
My baby was repeatedly monitored and we were informed and advised about my baby's progress.
In the follow ups she was very patience at the screening and explanation.
Her feeding techniques really helped my baby to gain weight.
Dr is very keen at the patient and has lots of patience to explain and we have always found satisfactory solution.
What makes her outstanding is that she is always reachable despite her busy schedule. Especially during the pandemic she is just a phone call or a text away and helps us irrespective of the time.
We are so happy that we found such a prominent doctor.
I would really recommend Dr Aruna Divakar.

Visited For Paediatric Critical Care
Hoped for better: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
My baby was born with a intestinal defect which didn't have much treatment so she was in the NICU for a month. She was fed thro a tube through the nose which had to be frequently changed and also she used to pull it out due to irritation and pain. After discharge, one late night she pulled out the tube so we took her to the hospital and this madam Aruna came and she shouted indirectly at the nurses for allowing us inside and she was rude with us as well . Even during my baby's stay she used to be very rude and will not answer my questions n just walk away . Will not recommend to visit this doctor. Very rude and impatient.
Visited For Fever

I visited the doctor as my 4yr old son got a very bad fever and we were in panic as whole night the fever was 104 and it was not coming down. On first visit she started all examination for H1N1 😢 , with a note that this is based on our convenience, if we are not doing later we have to take the risk. so with no option we went for Swab test and medication. same day we got all test results as negative . since there was no symptoms of fever coming down from 104 till next day again we follow up. She looked at the report and told looks like some other influenza, and asked us to stop the prescribed medicine and given some other set of fever medicine and told to follow up next-day.**** ***** * **** *** ***** ******* *** with no options left I consulted another doctor *** ** *********** **** **** *********** ***** ***** ** *** *** ******** ** * ****** Overall my experience is bad with doctor's examination and attitude during this period. I may be wrong as a parent but with my experience with other doctor, expectations was a soft attitude and consolidation which I didn't get.
