Dr.Ashok k.Singhal seemed to be an amiable person,committed to his duty.
This was my first visit to him.
Doctor gave me a patient hearing, asked me relevant questions, checked my records.
He was kind enough to explain to me the facets of the disease, instllled hope in me that I'll be better ,and cleared my doubts.
Came out if the consultation room,with hope in my heart and faith in the God above.
I strongly believe that doctors are instruments of God and I feel I'm in safe hands ...hoping to get cured.
Visited For Nerve and Muscle Disorders
This rating is only for the clinic due to the Receiptionist, the receptionist is the worst & rude.. we were 15mins before ontime to clinic, our appointment was at 5.30pm, when we checked with her she said I know when to send and we don't follow practo time.. she was extremely rude, I told we have another appointment with doctor in sometime she ignored it, I immediately called practo to complaint. She was sending other patients infornt of us who came after us &did not have appointments. Coming to Dr.Ashok Kumar he's extremely good, did great analysis I would want to give him 5 out of 5 just because his staff I'm ratting this 1. Sorry doctor.

I read other reviews and took an appointment with Dr.Ashok for my maternal uncle who was suffering from weakness, memory loss and few post accident trauma. To me, Dr.Ashok, came across as very down to earth, modest, good listener and understood the anxiety of the patient and also us, family. He heard our story, told us to be calm, did a very thorough check-up before prescribing a test followed by medicines. He understands the jumpiness of patients-We are so eager and anxious in asking questions but he never lost his cool. He patiently answered all questions including few silly questions of us with smile on his face. Post the test, my uncle started taking medicines and he is on his way to recovery! I thoroughly recommend Dr. Ashok for being so patient, understanding and grounded enough to make us understand the Do's and Dont's. Thanks a lot Doctor
Visited For Headache
I visited the doctor to consult for a headache for my wife. The doctor patiently listened to us and also went thro the voluminous health records to understand the background. ** ****** ***** ************* ***** *** ***** ****** ****** ** **** *** ********* **** *** *** **** ** **** *** **** There is also an ophthalmologist in the same clinic who did an eye checkup. The doctor was able to use that diagnosis also to zero in on the problem which my wife was facing and prescribed the appropriate medication.
I would not recommend this doctor. I was admitted with a fit episode, and on my follow up visit the doctor did not have 30 seconds to explain the MRI and EEG reports or clarify any questions we may have. He prescribed medications and kept stressing to come back in 20 days. There was no clarity or explanation on my reports and he had no patience.
To add to this, he is highly uncooperative as well. When we went back to him to discuss regarding to further discuss our reports for insurance purposes on yet another follow up appointment, he did not care to listen or acknowledge and dismissed us. Being in the medical Service profession for 5 years, i have come across many doctors and have witnessed their cooperation and interest towards their patients , and this is the first time i have come across a doctor of such disrespect and disregard for his patients.
Fortis Hospitals Bannerghatta Road, is an excellent hospital with a wide range of reputed doctors, however this negative rating is for the doctor and not the hospital.
Bad listening skills.. No explanation.. In fact when he was recommending things, he sounded so uncertain that one question I asked about the medicine he prescribed and he didn't have a clear answer! Neither did he sound confident about diagnosis..
The clinic in itself doesn't have a professional environment.. No value for time.. It all looked to me like a money making business.. Consultation.. Eye check up.. Medicines.. They want you to do everything right there so that they can make money.. Rs. 9,000 spent and the problem still doesn't have any signs of cure..
I'd never recommend this doctor /clinic to anyone!
Visited For Neurological Problems
Doctor was extremely friendly. He understood in detail what are the symptoms experienced, gave a good explanation of the issue. For someone with health anxiety, he didn't quickly dismiss it but listened patiently and gave enough assurance on the future course of action.

I visited the doctor for headache management. I had suddenly developed a throbbing pain in my right side of the head.
He gives a lot of time. Listens very patiently and asks a lot of questions in order to understand the problem. It was an amazing experience.
After two and a half years I'm looking for another consultation as I am having similar issues again. But since I'm out of Bangalore I feel a little helpless.

My dad is getting treated in fortis hospital under Dr Ashok Singhal for neuro issues (possibly GB syndrome) and the first thing that comes in mind is doctor's Ashok's caring attitude and he has always made himself available on call as well. While it is an ongoing treatment, but with the past experience I had with doctors, he is certaintly a go-to man and probably the first choice for neuro issues. Looking forward to my dad's quick recovery
