Visited For Gall Bladder (Biliary) Stone Treatment
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
Dr Kini was extremely thorough in his understanding of the problem I had visited him for. As i had gallstones, he went into an indepth analysis of what course fo treatment I may need to take. He is very patient and explains all the different aspects of treatment we can be offered and takes time to answer all relevant and irrelevant questions from us patiently.
Once surgery was the option we were going for, he made us feel very comfortable with the whole process, explained the same and helped us connect with the surgeon (Dr SAurabh Mishra) who perfomed the surgery. All in all, he was very helpful, supportive, factual in his thoughts, approachable and made us feel very reassured that we were in good hands. Wanted to thank him for helping us during this time!
Visited For Gastric Trouble
Very professional and a friendly doctor. Inspite of his tight schedule, he replied to our message and gave us a slot to meet him, which is extremely appreciated. He cares for the patients with alot of confidence even at the first visit which ensured us that the right treatment will be given. I had received alot of great feedback regarding Dr.kini before my visit. After the consultation and the treatment, my grandmother was very happy about the extremely fast recovery and such a difference in her health which she had never felt in a long time. She has been suffering alot because of her gastric issues for more than 20 years. Dr.kini had prescribed only one tablet and she's ********** fine now. I had a chance to see his endoscopy procedure, which i would say was 100% painless and fast that the patient will feel completely fit in 5 mins. ******* ** *** **** ****** * **** *** ** *** *** I would HIGHLY recommend him.

Hoped for better: Value for money
The doctor was able to do initial diagnosis. He recommended me colonoscopy for getting clarity on the problem and realised that there is no issue. I felt this is money game for them

Kindly read my review before visiting Dr Kini.I visited him for Ulcerative Colitis as I was told that there is no cure of this disease. I was already devastated and feeling helpless so I was seeking his help as a second opinion. I never had any idea that a doctor could be that rude and arrogant, ** ****** prescribed the same medicines which my previous doctor suggested me and when we asked some questions regarding the disease he told us to go to some less busy doctor who has no patients and would spend time in answering our questions. If you are going to him for a second opinion I would suggest you to rethink ** ** ***** *** **** ** ** ********** ** * ****** ******* Practo is also not mentioning that there are different charges for 1st time visit,2nd time visit and 2nd opinion for which i paid 2800. I felt the amount charged is not justified *** ******* ** ******* *** ****** * **** *** **** *** **** **** **** ********** When a pateint seeks help, they are already in a helpless state *** * ****** ****** *** **** ***** ********* ****** ** ****** ****** ***** ** ** ****** ******* **** *********** As a working professional I'm taking time to write my experience which represents his behaviour has left a mark in mind which I will not forget. * **** ** **** **** **** ***** *** **** ******* *********** ** ** ********* ** *** ********* *** ***** But as an experience on a whole I would visit a ****** doctor who can answer my health related questions rather than googling and visiting top doctors from practo.

For more than 2 years, I was suffering from intense stomach pain and vomit bouts. Met many doctors and underwent treatment but all in vain. When I moved to Bangalore, one of the doctor here referred me to Dr Kini Sir. The first time I visited him, he listened to me patiently and explained the causes, symptoms and probable ailment. Throughout my treatment, he was very friendly, a true professional and a competent physician. Being myself a doctor, I can say undoubtedly, he never asked to run futile tests or pointless visits. He made sure to consult every specialist from different fields for providing best of the treatment along with his medications. As a result, by god's grace and Dr Kini sir's outstanding excellence, my health has improved a lot with no pain or any other symptom whatsoever. In few words, my major health problem was treated in the most efficient way as possible and all my gratitude goes to Dr Kini Sir.

After waiting nearly 30 mins and paying as much as Rs. 1500, I was with the doctor for less than 10 minutes. He barely listened to me before examining my stomach for 1 min, then prescribed some medications. I asked if those were antibiotics and he said no, *** **** * ****** **** ** ****** *** ** **** **** I tried to have a longer conversation about my symptoms and another doctor's diagnosis but he rubbished it all very arrogantly and by this time his assistant was ushering me out the door. He was a poor listener and didn't seem to care about his patient.

Happy with: Explanation of the health issue
I am not sure if this is the case with that clinic always but I could see a long queue waiting to see the Dr. on the day, I visited.
The person in the reception said, Dr. came late on that day and so even the prior appointments (mine was at 8.00 pm) were delayed because of that.
We could meet the Dr. only at around 9.45 pm. There were atleast 6-7 more patients waiting.
Due to this, we had less interaction with the Dr. Though I selected 'Explanation of the health issue' in the above section, that does not apply here. Since we were known to him already, he quickly prescribed medicines and asked us to visit with blood reports after 3 weeks.

I am from a family of doctors so I know, when I see a good doctor. Dr. Kini is one such doctor. He is a very competent physician (with doctorate in gastroenterology ), with sound diagnosis and very friendly demeanor. He explains the causes and symptoms of a problem or problems very patiently to a patient. He has worked in SGPGI Lucknow, which itself says a lot. He has no air about him being such a good doctor who has treated and is treating so many patients. We need such doctors like him today. Looking at a city like Bangalore his consultation fee in his clinic and in SAKARA is not expensive... Yes every other person may not be able to afford it, but if one needs a doctor of his caliber for treatment then one will have to shell out a bit. But every penny will be worth it.

Dr Kinni deligently listens to the patient, queries him & goes through any past reports. He then examines you and arrives at a probable cause and explains the issue. His approach is clinical and based on patient explanation & his diagnosis. He does not suggest tests without a possible diagnosis or reason or explanation. A visit to the doctor is reassuring that you are in competent hands.This is the reason for his popularity & rush in his clinic. This results in long wait times, but it's worth it. He gives a calm hearing to each patient and at the end of the visit you are ok with minor inconvenience waiting.
