She is a very senior and renowned doctor in infertility and gynaec field. Despite that she takes utmost interest and patiently takes all details, history and explains treatment or related aspects very well. She gives sufficient time to her patients, as per our experience. Would definitely recommend her. She currently does not do any procedures , but is supported by able junior (senior enough) doctors and staff. We continued our treatment with Dr Bhavani Nagaraj in her team who was extremely good. We had a successful treatment and are very happy.

Dr. Kamini treated me well, a very helpful person, *** **** *** **** ****** **** **** She is more understanding, the other doctor, Dr. Mekhala is treating my daughter in law, and we are very much happy with the way they treated us. All the doctors are friendly but it's just a person in the reception who is very rude and arrogant, Ms. Mary...

I always had and still have excellent time at Milann. The staff is very co-operative and I have always been treated well and have also been attended on time. The team at Milann tries to make sure that patients don't have to wait too long for their appointments. Even the Doctors / Practitioners in the hospital/clinic don't rush and push you out. They carefully listen to you and your queries, provide you relevant solutions and have a very friendly approach towards patients.

We booked an appointment and since it was a first meeting were handed over with a registration form. Filled that up and the wait started .... Since we are a used to long waiting periods at such clinics (warranted or unwarranted is not even a question we can dare to think about) we went prepared. After about 30-45 mins of wait we were called by the junior doctor /assistant to take down the entire history which is a normal practice followed by most of such clinics where the main Doctor based on whose reputation you book the apptmt. in the first place, is supposedly too busy for such mundane acts.
That done we were finally called in to meet Dr Kamini Rao, who saw the history prepared by the junior doctor /assistant and came to the conclusion that all of the test results were more than 6 months old and we will have to perform all of those tests again .Unless and until all of them are not repeated once again there can be no consultation given whatsoever.. Well.. fair enough ..but could the doc have answered atleast some basic questions since we kept telling her that we were anxious ? NO... all of those questions will be answered in "detail" only once we perform all the tests (read shell out the cash first) and only then will there be any answers given.She did not even bother to look at any of the reports we were carrying some of which were as new as last month... SO the divine consultation that was provided to us was that we will have to do a few tests which again the junior doc will explain outside her cabin . Again ... how can we expect the main doc to spare a few minutes to explain anything related to the treatment we had come for???
Total waiting time : 1.5 hours
Total consultation time: 2 mins (for which we had to shell out more than 1000 rupees)
The question here is:
1. If the reports were so old that the doc was not in a position to give answers for any of the questions why did the very dependable junior not inform us abt it at the time of noting down the history?
2. Why were we made to see the doc for 2 minutes just to be told to repeat all the tests again? Is it only so that they could charge us with the consultation fees?
3. Why is it that Dr Kamini does not feel the need to talk to her patient for even 5 minutes and hear out their problems before sending them for tests?
Based on our experiences at such clinics (and we have been to many across Bangalore) this was by far the worst place where the Doctor considering her reputation and the many awards she has been conferred upon... did not have the basic understanding of "hearing" out her patient... We went with high hopes ... but were unfortunately very disappointed.

Though my results were slightly positive it was explained in a negative tone leaving me with no hopes. Attitude of the staff and the doctors has to change. We were made to wait for 5 hours just to know result of my blood test, could have been handled better. There is no value for money. There is no proper token system, staff is at times confused who has to be sent next. Overall a bad experience.

Hoped for better: Value for moneyWait timeTreatment satisfaction
The registration process was unfriendly asking way too much personal information beyond medical history. Overcharged consultant fee,800 when it's mentioned Rs 500 on Practo. When questioned the reviptionists just sputtered and became flustered. While I went for a check up for menopausal issues, I was precribed 15 different tests which I frankly thought where an overkill. On questioing was told full medical health check up.
I walked away feeling I was beginning fleeced from the moment I walked in the door.
I should say my experience with Dr Kamini by itself was very professional.although I am not likely to go into Milaan again.

Doc was good, may be few more mins to discuss would be better. Delay is understandable because it was Saturday. That's not a issue.Consultation mentioned above is 600 however I was charged Rs.800. Doc is good but Not confident about other staff. Today I got call asking to confirm about transferring to shivananda circle. They have confused with other deepti. I hope reports etc wouldn't be confused. Should see how would the second visit experience be
