Visited For Nasal Septum Surgery
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
I had nasal block due to bent nasal septum from childhood. I was suffering badly from repeated head ache nasal stuffiness thick nasal mucous etc. I visited doctor after my friend's suggestion, he too had similar problems like me and after undergoing septoplasty he was very happy all his issues were gone. When i met the doctor he examined me and did endoscopy and later adviced CT scan of my nose. After seeing the CT he explained to me in detail regarding my issues and made me understand by drawings how the issue can be corrected by surgery. He also told me about how important the after surgery visits.
As suggested by the doctor, i underwent septoplasty and turbinate reduction, initially I had mild dryness and thick secretions for few days which resolved completly after following his instructions. Now i am able breath properly and i am very satisfied with the doctor treatment. I am happy that my friend suggested this doctor. What i liked the most is the doctor took good care at each step of treatment, he is friendly, answers all my queries and make sure i understood properly, i highly recommend this doctor. Thank you doctor.
Visited For Ear,Nose,Throat problems
We are going to this Dr. fm 7+ years. ************ *** ** *** **** ******* ** **** He is patient and listens to patient problems fully. Not at all in a rush to fetch as many appointments possible. He gets to the root of the prob and suggests the best simplistic nonsurgical approach possible (even if we insist going surgical way). Everytime we go he reviews A-Z of the problem patiently and makes us feel confident to deal with the issue better. I strongly recommend this Dr. ...one of the best ENT in town.

Me & my family are deeply indebted to Dr.Karthik for all the ENT related ailments since 2014. Even though my home is far from Fortis, I make it a point to visit him over other options nearby.
He is a role model for the medical fraternity and a big asset to places he works & imparts knowledge. Yet the humble nature of the Doctor remained the same over the years.
Visited For Ear Blockage
Hoped for better: Explanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
I felt the diagnosis was too rushed both in terms of number of diagnostic test required and then the final suggestion to move directly to surgery. Given the second opinions taken afterward, * ***** **** **** ** *** ********** *** *** ****** ********** ** *** ******** *** * ****** ****** ******* ******** *************
Visited For Eustachian tube dysfunction
Doctor is very good. Very professional & polite. Listened to the problem and explained the problem thoroughly. I would highly recommend him to my family and friends. After I purchased the medicine from Hospital pharmacy, I happened to see him in hospital corridor and he called me and checked all medicines to ensure everything is correct.
I got my consultation immediately without spending much time. The doctor was good. There was a clarity in the way he explained the diagnosis. I was suggested for some treatment but I didn't get time for it. The overall consultation went smoothly and I am happy with the doctor.
The doctor was very good and approachable. He examined very well and gave me a complete report of analysis. But the medications he prescribed to me was not that accurate. It didn't give me relief from the illness. So I am happy with the doctor but not luckily with the treatment. The approximate waiting period as of my assumption was around 35 minutes. I experienced good service from the hospital as well.
I have been there three to four times. Waiting period is the main concern. It may take around 40 to 50 minutes because of the crowd. Apart from that, ****** ** **** **** *** *************. He explains the issues clearly and also gives the proper advice. I am highly satisfied with the treatment.
It took around 45 minutes in the wait line. ****** *** ***** He explained the diagnosis and cause transparently. ** ******* ** ***** *** ****** **** He have suggested me for a minor surgery. I will be visiting him again shortly. I had two consultations. Until now everything is fine with the hospitality.
