There was a 35 minutes wait. Other than that there was no problem. Dr. Mahesh was quick and efficient.
I had one of the worst experience with Dr.Mahesh Meda in Health Nest Hospital , HSR layout, I had 2 visits and below are my comments / observation : ( people kindly read my review before visiting this doctor - save money, save time, there are better doctor around in Bangalore)
1st visit : During my first visit, I explained him about my problem that I get a bulge near my neck whenever I eat food, he examined my mouth and told that there should be a stone , I asked him whether it is curable through tablets, he told it is curable but he wanted to see my reports ( I had done a ultrasound scan) , meanwhile he asked me to take some tablets which he prescribed, and told me that if the bulge doesn't reduce he will do a needle test or do operation to remove stone - 400 consultation charges.
2nd visit : My throat began to pain more, I couldn't eat food, I told my problem to Dr, to my surprise without even doing any basic check on my neck, he told me that it could be a symptom of TB !!!! I was taken back, I was nervous to hear TB ! he also told me that there could be possible of having stone in the salivary gland and have to do small operation , now I really started to panic.....didn't know what to do, I asked him is it curable through tablets, he gave me 2 options ( If I could choose an option-why should I go to a doctor) - 1. Do a test to access the situation or 2. Start antibiotic course for TB ( 9 months course) .. ooppss by now I was totally upset , he pulled a small paper from his pocket ( Magnus appointment slip), he asked me to do a blood test and CT scan......I was making double sure whether I have TB or stond in my gland , he pulled out his Mobile and started to show me some operations he had done for other patients with similar problem, the procedures he explained me ( like cutting the jaw to remove the stone) brought me shivers....I came out of the hospital with literally tears in my eyes thinking I have TB. 400 visiting charges
I didn't get sleep entire nite, next day I visited Manipal Hospital - I explained my problem, the doctor observed my throat and told she could see a small stone near my salivary gland, she immediately removed the stone and told me nothing to worry about, now my pain has gone and the bulge has started to reduce ......I'm now a relieved man, imaging if I had pursed with Dr.Mahesh, he would have either operated my throat or given me TB removal course for 9 months !!!!
Please please please- for god sake don't visit this Doctor and also please don't visit Health Nest.....all are money minded people
Worst experience. We went to him with a problem of throat pain. Doctor doesn't have patience to listen to you completely. He examined just like that n told to admit in hospital. We are shocked n ask him it is mandatory, his reply was "you have insurance right ? U can claim using insurance". He even suggested to go for surgery too. Scared us a lot.
I don't recommend this doctor.
The doctor was too casual and could not see the confidence that the doctors normally has. When I visited him, I was the first patient and he was already in a hurry to leave. He charged 400 and the medicine he prescribed coated me 800 odd. After spending so much, I still was not sure if he treated me correctly. I am writing this review after 2 days , my problem still persists. Ill wait for a day more and if this continues, I probably will be visiting a better doctor.
At Apollo, timing is the main concern. Even after booking a prior appointment, I waited for more than 2 hours to consult the doctor. He arrived late that day, *** ********* *** *** *** **** ***** I am satisfied with that but they have to take care of schedule. Waiting for long hours will be very difficult for patients.
Over the last five months, I am consulting this doctor. He has even conducted surgery for my father. His treatment has never failed to satisfy us but he could be more approachable. He seems very reserved and shares only the important information with us but I expect to hear more in detail. Otherwise, services at the hospital are excellent and an approximated waiting time of an hour can be noted.

Visited For Ear Pain
Hoped for better: Treatment satisfaction
Please do not visit this doctor!!!I had my ear blocked. I told him that but he was not patient enough to hear my other symptoms, he then checked my ear and told me i have blood vessel tumor behind my ear drum. I need to go through a surgery which would cost me 1.5 lakhs. So i went to another doctor to confirm the next day... I was told that it was just an infection and nothing else.
