Visited For Nasal Polypectomy

My life changed for good after the surgery. Prior to the surgery Ihad suffered from chronic cold, wheezing and sinus infection. Finally my nasal polyps grew to a stage when I was unable to breathe. After my surgery which was performed by Dr. Girish and his assistants all my symptoms gradually disappeared. Thank You Doc!!!

He was patiently explaining the problem and possible medication/treatments .
His experience is shown in the way he talks.
The pharmacy did not have the tablet prescribed so I ordered through practo website.

Got my nose surgery done at Manipal hospital old airport road. It was a blunder from my side for the decision. Doctor's advice in first look was, get admitted immediately and rest my juniors will explain. **** **** **** ********* ********* * ***** What was astonishing is that doctor was least bothered about prepping the patient pre and post surgery. * *** **** **** ***** ****** ******** ********** *** ****** *** ** *** ** **** * ******** *** ****** Moreover the very next day, instead of the doctor, some junior doctors are coming and advicing what to do next. If you have an insurance . Not recommended at all. Posting this after 2 months of my surgery *** * ******* *** *** *** ******* ***** ******* ******** *** *** ***** ******* *** ** *** *** **** ****
Went to this doctor with a CT scan of PNS which showed Pan-sinusitis. Saw him because my regular doctor was not available and my headache was very disturbing. He came in to consultation room and looked at the CT scan report and immediately suggested a surgery and handed me an admission slip with a total estimate of Rs. 80000. I was totally shocked by the response given that i am seeing him the first time and he didn't even bother to physically do a check.
I don't know if he or Manipal is being greedy. But a second and a third opinion with two other peer doctors got me out of the surgery and i am recovered only with a course of antibiotics and simple steam inhalation.
Someone goes to a doctor expecting a good treatment from him both for illness and also in terms of how they "treats" patients. It was a let down for me with this doctor and i will NOT recommend him.

*** ****** ****** *** ** ********* He was asking the other junior doctors to explain the issue. ** ********* ** ******* *********** ** ***** *** **** * ******* ******** **** ********* ******** ** **** ** **** * *** ** ****** *** **** *** *** **** * ***** When I went to see him again, he told me to get ct scan done and get admitted without even seeing me. Such a terrible experience *** ********* ***** ***** ** * ******* Will never ever visit him again.
I recommend you all to try changing the appointment to another doctor if you can, as Manipal will try to get you to see this particular doctor.

Manipal hospital is good but Not worth visiting this doctor. *** * ********** ***** ***** *** ** *** recommended all possible tests he could. He was so rude that I wanted to walk out in the middle. He had 3-4 interns around and asked them to explain the test results. He barely spoke anything. Bad experience overall.

I underwent surgery for my ear few years ago but it was unsuccessful and same problem re-occurred just in a matter of 2-3 months after the surgery. Overall, it was not a good experience going through the ear surgery. Disappointed with the treatment received.
Visited For Foreign Body in Eyes, Ears, Nose and Throat
Not at all happy with the doctor.
We went for foreign body sensation in the throat but he diagnosed problem in the thyroid glands and directly prescribed for 100 mg medication which usually isn't the preferred way of starting the dosage as suggested by other doctors.
Visited For Hearing Loss
Hoped for better: Value for moneyTreatment satisfaction
Doctor even doesn't know that whether they have hearing devices in the hospital or not .... He called us that everything is there and once we were in hospital nothing was available. We were asked to wait and wait without any reason and still they didn't had any resolution
