I have given good feed back about my experience with Dr. Chandrashekar initially. He was good in talking and seemed sincere.
The subsequent visits to him made me no good. So many tests but he conitued to give me Steroid tablets. All tests found negative.
He claims that he has 34 years' of experience but he could not cure my cough. I do not wish to continue with his medicines.I wish him good.
I had continuous cough day and night when we were in Bhadravathi. We consulted many Doctors in Bhadravathi, Shimoga and Davangere. I had also taken some Ayurvedic medine. This did not yield any result except increasing my cough. I thought my life will end with this cough. But there was no use. This Doctor had saved the life of my father-in-law who had lot of phelgm and finding difficulty to breath. As per my husband's direction i met with this Doctor and the result was wonderful. My cough stopped in 2 visits. I am very much thankful to the Doctor for saving my life too.

Highly disappointed with services of the doctor and hospital. An extremely unfriendly attitude by the doctor. After reading positive reviews, I decided to take my mother to Jain hospital for a checkup. I called the hospital at 3:30pm and enquired if I can get an appointment. They asked me to come and meet the doctor. After paying the registration fees of 400 rs, I went to the pulmonology department at room33. The receptionist sent the file to a junior doctor who did the assessment for my mother and asked her to undergo an X ray. Within 15 mins we got the x ray and gave it to the receptionist. The receptionist came back and asked us to take a PFT. I mean how can a receptionist tell us to go and get us a PFT test done even if it was told by Dr HB Chandrashekar. Is he that busy to spare 5 minutes for my mother? Then why is he even taking appointments to consult patients if he cannot even spent a second to see a patient. We insisted who asked you to tell us to go and take PFT and these receptionist got bit apprehensive and took the file again to the doctor room and probably told him that the patient wants to see him person. They asked us to sit outside his room and 10 mins later 5 junior mbbs doctors stood outside his room and one of them called us inside. This is when the doctor starts looking at our reports. I mean how callous attitude can this be from a doctor who I thought was a excellent pulmonologist. He might be a great doctor but if he cannot spare a concern for patients, trust me that respect we have seems to have lost. He asked few questions and did a checkup and directed us to get a PFT even after seeing the x ray and telling us there is nothing wrong in x ray. We paid 650 rs for PFT that was done by juniors who struggled to even type the parameters in their computer. We were made to sit outside for 15 minutes and then the doctor comes outside and he hardly doesn't even care to check our reports until one of the junior doctor voluntarily shows the PFT reports. The junior doctor then writes the medical prescription and hands over to us. Dr Chandrashekar doesnt have spare a second even now to tell us what was right or wrong in the PFT results until I myself went up to him and asked is everything normal and he says there is nothing to worry. Inspite of this, they prescribed us medicines worth 1033 rs. I have no clue why their service was so pathetic and why this doctor has zero concern towards a patient. We ended up paying nearly 2300 rs for this patheitc service. I could have visited a local doctor instead of coming to this doctor who seems to be in hurry to go home and has no care for a patient. I could have said this right on the face to them. But I was dignified enough to tolerate the poorest of the poor service. VERY VERY disappointing and shoddy service

Doctor seemed highly dis interested - breezed through the reports as he was doing us a favour and wanted to just leave soon..
Took us a week to round up this doctor as he did not show up at Jain hospital on the scheduled day. On attempt 2 of making the appointment on practo at manipal Malleshwaram his staff called saying they cannot promise a slot and will only treat us as a walk in - to a 68 year old patient that’s awful. Clearly it was not worth the wait .. will definitely opt to never consult with him Again ..

After a very basic stethoscope check, he was quick to prescribe a PFT and chest X Ray which costed Rs 1050. His consultation fee itself is Rs 500. The medicines came up to another Rs 1080.
So we ended up spending RS 2500+ *** *** ********* ** ********** **** ****** ***************** * ***** *** ***** ****** ***** ** * ****** *** *** ******** ****** **** *****

Dr. H B Chandrashekar was really very good, friendly and was speaking with a smile. Has listened our health issues and was explaining the cause and gneral precautions to be taken. I was feeling with severe cough and wheezing problem, was not able to talk due to continuous cough. I was suggested to take XRAY and Pulmonary function test. Based on the test results I was suggested to take inhaler and medicines.
Lets see how best his prescriptions will help me. Hoping for the best results.

I went to the doctor, after a positive response from someone* ** ***** ******** ** ******* ********** He is always busy, and talks very less. So, I had to satisfy myself talking to his assistant doctor. When I told her that I have researched my problem in the internet and it said some particular medicines for the ailment. She immediately discouraged me saying that we should not Google everything. And that particular medicine is given for invasive cases only, for which I was not satisfied.

I consulted him after a recommendation. Dr is very much senior and experienced. He speaks just to the point, writes only the necessary tests and my treatment experience was quick and the results are really good. He is a very busy person. Since I walked in early for the consultation, my wait time was really less.
