It was a 3 pm appointment however we had to wait for 30 mins to get to the first doctor. it was told that first we need to visit a junior doctor before going to Dr. Srinivasan and we will surely meet him.After waiting for more than 55 mins we get to meet the first doctor and he suggests an x-ray as expected. and tells us that you can meet Srinivasan with the x-ray. I mentioned that the pain is not for bones and x-ray is only for bones... he said it's better to take one. As to no choice we went ahead for x-ray (cost: 700/-), once report is available wait for another half an hour to meet the real doctor.This is my second meet and as usual Dr Srinivasan suggested 2 exercises and satisfied with his reasons... he mentioned no problems found in x-ray however we found a black dot just below the bones he said that's nothing so we are not sure what it is. may be we will go for second opinion.To meet this doctor it is 600/-.so overall we paid 1350/- including registration 50/- which is valid for 5 years.

Quite disappointed with Dr. Srinivasan; I will not be recommending him to my family or friends. After spending nearly Rs.2000 for basic x-rays & consultation, he deemed my one-year chronic pain to be "noises about small things". If I was just wanted to make "noise" about nothing, would I have waited one year to see an orthopedist? This, despite being told that during the past year, I'd routinely done back-strengthening exercises to tackle the pain. To his credit, he did not throw medication at the problem and instead prescribed exercises, which I really appreciated. But to have a patient do expensive diagnostic tests at his clinic only to then baldly suggest it was just "noises" is such bad form. Don't get me wrong, I'm very glad to hear there's nothing structurally wrong with my back. I just don't appreciate him saying my legitimate concern about ONE-YEAR chronic pain and finally, finally 'indulging' in getting expert opinion is essentially an overreaction. And when we gave him a chance to elaborate, he said he has lost 40% bone in his neck and lower back. I was very sorry hear that but because my back and neck aren't as bad as his, are all patients who're not suffering like him supposed to wait until their situation is that dire? What an illogical, non-objective, emotional excuse for an MD doctor to invoke!
