Happy with:Â Treatment satisfaction
She listens to the patient very calmly and do the diagnosis well. Which ever the problem not related to her, she recommends to other doctors promptly. Usually unnecessary tests not done.
only thing is waiting time is more and the medicines prescribed are bit expensive.
But as a doctor , very trust-able.
Visited For Gastroenteritis Treatment
** ******* ******** ** *** ** *** **** ******* * **** ********** The doctor very nicely and in simple language explains what is wrong with the body and how it will be treated. Have visited many times and always had positive results. Highly recommend her despite the high Apollo fees and large crowds..
We met her at Apollo Bannerghatta for my mothers review - terrible way of dealing with patients. She was reviewing my mother’s blood report and said one of the levels looks bad. When I asked to help me understand what that means - she snapped back saying that she does not have the time to explain these basics to me. If I could read and evaluate a blood report - I would never go to a doctor after taking a day off from work in the first place.
It was a slow day for her based on waiting time. If she was in a bad mood / it was not a good day for her - she should have cancelled all her appointments for the day versus snapping at patients. My mother wanted to explain one of the doses and she did not want to explain.
We are certainly not going back to her as respect, explaining to a patient what their results and medications are and keeping it professional are bare minimum I expect to see from a doctor.
Hoped for better:Â Wait time
Good doctor. Have great patience. She gave more than half an hour to us though we visited first time.

Great. I have been visiting her fir over 8 years now. One of the few doctors who gives patients a patient hearing. Is thorough and gives confidence. She is highly recommended.
