Doctor is friendly *** *************, he does not create unnecessary stress.
The only concern I had was he didn't come to visit patient after surgery and even while discharge. Another doctor visited us to sign of the discharge summary.
We had to wait for him for approx 30-40 mins in OT for his arrival for surgery. Post discharge we were asked to meet him for followup visit, appointment was for 9.30 am and again we had to wait for him for one hour+ however he didn't arrive and we were asked to visit another doctor.
I completely understand doctor have lot of priorities however patients need to be attended with due respect as there time is equally valuable.

Highly unprofessional ************ ******** ******* ** ****** *** ******* ** ** ****** I tried to approach doctor via fortis board line, more than 1 hour I was struggling to connect, fortis people saying we are not authorised to give his number, I said that's ok but connect atleast it's an emergency they were just playing here and there and finally they connected my call to doctor somehow and doctor simply told take my number from hospital & call me later, may be he was busy that time, again fortis people were not sharing number, finally they called me back and given his number.I send the prescription to doctor pics of reaction, he didn't responded initially (may be again busy) & after 6 hrs he just wrote stop medicine ***** ** **** ******* next day a msg consult skin specialist.I feel it's highly unprofessional, * ** ***** ******* *** **** **** ***** ******* **** ***** *** ***** * **** *** **** ******* **** * **** ******* **** ** * is this worth paying high end fee with such response ?

I was visiting the Doctor on someone's reference and based on the initial consultation, I found the Doctor friendly and patient. He provided realistic advice and I am planning to go ahead with the required surgery.
I have consulted him with reference to surgery. He gave me complete information and the best advice. I am satisfied with the consultation. One hour waiting time was there to consult him. I experienced a good service from the hospital end.
