Dr. Mala Prakash

She understood & diagnosed the problem very well due to her many years experience & provided satisfactory solution.

She is calm , patient , approachable & very reliable. Felt free to ask questions for which she gave satisfactory answer which helped us to decide about the treatment.

*** ** *** **** ************* ** ************.. blessed to be her patient for more than a decade... highly recommended

I am not one of those who visits doctors so often. But I am a strong believer in giving recognition where the service has provided excellently. She was so nice, calming and was able to answer all my questions. I was put at total ease and Dr Mala Prakash told me she would even inform me about a single thing about my treatment. she was so kind to me.

Dr Mala prakash was by far the best gynecologist I ever had. I saw her for some some sort of treatment.I saw her for routine checkups. She is excellent in all ways: intelligent, kind, patient, and very skilled in the exam. She really knows what she is doing and does it with a minimum of discomfort to the patient.She should train legions to follow in her footsteps.

Genuinely caring person, very knowledgeable and professional. I can't think of anybody with whom I can discuss so easily all my concerns and worries. She is very sympathetic and gets excited together with me looking at the ultrasound pictures. I feel lucky to have found her.She is a great doctor. I was so happy when I found her.She is near to my place too so its easy to visit her when required. only the concern is some time there is high crowd that time you have to wait for long time.

:Waiting is a issue:-

We consulted Dr Mala for treatments of my wife. My wife was suffering from stomach pain. I had a very bad experience of waiting in the clinic. We took appointment for 6 PM slot and when we reached there clinical staff said that the doctor visits clinic only after 7.30 PM. We were forced to wait for a long period.

The consultation fee online was 400 INR, but when we visit clinic doctor charges 500 INR. This consultation fee is really very expensive. Added to this whatever procedures are performed at the clinic and whatever charges are taken, they wont give a single receipt to us. All are hand written receipts. Which wont be of use.

They have a good staff and clinical environment too. Doctor is experienced enough to listen to the problems and analyse the same and help patients solve them at quickly. Doctor prescribed a set of medicines to my wife. After completion of the course of medicines my wife got cured and we are happy with the doctor treatment.

It would be better if waiting time and fee is reduced a bit and if they give printed receipts.

Please do not visit this doctor.

I had been seeing her from the start of my pregnancy. At the last moment I was told that doctor Mala will not deliver my baby. Only her team will be there.

She does not give you her number no matter the emergency. I had fallen right on my stomach and had to go to the hospital, still the doctor did not give her number in case of emergency.

If you start asking a lot of questions especially if you are a first time mother, your questions will not be entertained.

If you get late to the clinic even by 5-10 minutes, their receptionist will make a hullabaloo and you will be asked to reschedule.

I was forced for an internal checkup. There was no consent. And I was told that how will I manage labour pain if I can’t handle the internal check up.

The doctor was all pro normal delivery from the start but changed at the last moment. The doctor pressurised to get an elective c section to be done in week 37 and the reason given to me was that in corona, they don’t want to wait for natural labour pain to start. And in case I opt for normal delivery, and if the pains can start anytime, they will deliver my baby in the covid section of Apollo hospital Bannerghatta even though I would be covid negative. My pregnancy was super smooth. I am not on the heavy side also. All normal.

I immediately changed my doctor *** *** *** ******** **** **** **** ****** ** ***** ** ***** **** ** **** ******** *** * ****** ****** **** ********** ** **** ** *** ** * ****** ** * ********* ******* *** ****** *** ****** ** ****** ** ****** ** *** **** ****** *** ** *** *** ***** ******** **** * *****

DO NOT WATSE YOUR TIME AND MONEY AND MENTAL PEACE.

I'd visited to consult regarding vaginal itching and irritation. The doctor examined and prescribed medication. When I asked for the reason of the problem, she said " because you are married" , the response was really unexpected and she didn't bother to respond to any other questions I asked.

And there were 2 more junior doctors who were present in the consultation room while all this conversation was happening. It made me really uncomfortable.

I am very disappointed and do not recommend this doctor.

:Good doctor:-

I consulted Dr. Mala Prakash for my general checkups done. Doctor is very good and she speaks up to the point. She listens to the patients with lot of patience and after analyzing the issue she will explain you all the necessary precautions to be taken to avoid the same problem in future.

Usually patient would prefer doctor who speaks a lot, but prefer who speaks to the point. I had a good experience with the doctor. She has a good clinic and well planned amenities for the patients.

But the worst part is waiting period, which usually is too much as there will be huge crowd of patients at the clinic. Doctor has cleared my problems.

She has prescribed me few medicines and did not perform any unnecessary test or examinations.Now my issue is resolved and i am healthy. I would recommend this doctor to my friends, family and others also.

The clinic is very clean and tidy with the best staff, who behave politely. I would rate 4.9 to this doctor 5 being the highest. One of the best gynecologist i have ever visited.

-:Good doctor but less experienced nurse:-

Me and my wife visited Dr Mala Prakash for our personal problems. Doctor is good in treatment and we are happy for the same. Usually there will be a waiting of 30 mins. In our first visit we were waiting for thirty minutes, later in follow up appointments the waiting period increased to one hour and sometimes more than that.

Though the doctor is good the nursing staff whom seems to be old enough is not at all good. She is very careless in performing procedures. We once went to doctor's own clinic (MN Speciality Clinic) to inject drips to my wife as she was suffering from weakness. The nursing staff at the clinic injected so hard that my wife got hurt because of that and the wound went on for many days.

Just because of this we never go to doctor's clinic, instead we go to other places where the same doctor practices. We visit same doctor at different places just because doctor is very good.

Also the consultation fee which doctor charges is very high and it might me difficult for middle class people afford the same.

One of my friend booked appointment for me with Dr. Mala Prakash . I went to Doctor for consultation on my gynecology problems. I had a very bad experience over there. I took appointment for 7.30 PM slot but i was treated by 9.15 PM. When i visited the clinic there were female who were 4 months 6 months and 8 months carrying. A man whose wife was carrying around 8 months was waiting from around 4 PM, he repeatedly asked the doctor to take them on priority, still doctor nor the staff cared about the mother. She never cares her patients.

When it comes to my issue, i had problems with my regular periods, doctor did not even listen to my problem, she randomly prescribed me few medicines, which were too expensive. Her consultation fee (500 INR ) is also too high, added to this no receipt was given for the same. The tablets (which very high dosage tablets) were prescribed for a period of 10 days.

After consuming tablets for 2 days i was feeling very uneasy in my health. Hence i consulted another doctor who suggested me to stop the intake of those tablets as they were not the right tablets that should be prescribed for my problem.

I had checked on internet about my issue, all i got was in such case doctor should perform blood test for thyroid or hemoglobin imbalance or scanning to for other issue, than only they should prescribe the tablets, but nothing like that was done by the doctor. She blindly prescribed tablets.

We have been consulting Dr. Mala Prakash since Sept 2018 and our advice would be to avoid visiting her or the Apollo Hospitals *** ***************** ******* Whenever we booked the appointment with Dr. Mala Prakash, she would never make herself available and we would be forced to see her team member Dr. Tanuja. We have been getting all the scans/tests done as per their suggestion, costing more than 30-40K. My wife had a family function to attend and hence she went to get a medical certificate from Dr. Mala so that she can fly. Her pregnancy is only 25 weeks old, still, we thought it would be better to get a medical certificate. They have been telling us that everything is normal, except that Placenta placement being low (which she said would adjust during the course of time). On being told she needs to fly, everything changed and they started saying the situation is serious and hence we cant advise her to fly etc. Maybe she thought we are taking her to some other hospital at our native place for treatment, which they want to discourage. Because of this, we had to look at other gynaec at the last moment. ***** **** *** *** *** **** *** **** ** ************** ****** ******* **** ***** ************* *** ******* ****** ** ******** ********* **** ** ***** ******** Due to her rude behavior, Apollo hospital is going to lose one family as a customer from now onwards.
