Dr. N Kavitha Bhat is a Senior Consultant in Paediatrics Endocrinology & Diabetes with over 26 years of experience in managing Diabetes and other hormonal problems in children and teenagers.Her profound interest in Paediatric Endocrinology and the belief that India needed Paediatric Subspecialists made her take up her USMLE in the ’90s, while she was the 2nd year Paediatric resident in Bangalore Medical College. She then went on to do her fellowship in Paediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes from Louisiana State University School of Medicine, USA.After her return from the US she joined Manipal Hospital, Bangalore, where she was responsible for starting the first of its kind Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes services in the state of Karnataka. In addition, she was faculty for DNBE and MD Paediatrics (Manipal Kathmandu Program) as well.While at Manipal Hospital, she also served as an Honorary Consultant at The Indira Gandhi Institute of Child Health where she was instrumental in starting the Paediatric Endocrinology services as well as a Paediatric Diabetes clinic, where the institution provided insulin, free of cost, to children with diabetes.In 2015 she accepted the position of Senior Consultant in Paediatric Endocrinology at Rainbow Children’s Hospital where in addition to attending to patients, she was also the program coordinator for the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences Paediatric Endocrinology Fellowship Program.Hormonal problems in children usually last for a lifetime.

Doctor was patiently listening. She is very good.
But extremely high waiting time. Staff was also unresponsive. I had to wait for 1 hr 30 min
Visited For Growth & Development Evaluation / Management
After ages met a doctor who was so warm and caring. Right from the word go had warmth in the way she treated the parents and the child.
Not once did she judge the child or label or overwhelm the parents.
She was patient and guided us well. ** *********** *************** ** ********* ** ******
She even administered the injection so gently..
She's those rare doctors you find these days .. God bless her
I had visited the doctor on recommendation of my Paed as she is a specialist and was told she will also give the vaccination for my kid.
Doctor is very good and could guide me pretty well.No issues with the doctor
Firstly the consultation and registration ( 1250 + 250) was 1500 And I felt disappointed And upon that she denied giving vaccination and asked me go back my general paediatrician which is going to cost me another 700 for consultation.
I felt very disappointed by this strategy. I had already mentioned while taking the appointment that I needed vaccination as well. This is how the hospital collects extras the people.
I will not visit this hospital again.
Visited For Paediatric care
We had booked the appointment for 10:40. Aster asked us to come at 10:00. The doctor arrived only after 11 and she saw us only at 2:30 in the afternoon. We waited for 4.5 hours with a 1 year old kid. The doctor and the hospital should seriously look into this as it creates a lot of hassles. Also she should understand that everybody’s time is valuable. It’s a very disappointing experience
Hospital issue appointment at 9am or some times at 9.30am. Doctor never turns up even if it is 11am or 11.30am and then for every patient she takes one hour though given time is 30mins. Though doctor studies patients well but *** ** *** **** **** ******* ****** **** ** poor time management. Have given direct feedback to the doctor as well. I am sharing my experience as I visited hospital at white field, Hebbal and also JP nagar. Aster hospital itself doesn’t have clarity that where and when this doctor will be available and when she turns up. We have waited for 2-3hrs at very hospital even when doctor is not available and appoint is still offered* ***** ********** ****** ** *** **** ***** **** ********* ** **** ***** *** ******** **** ******* ** ********* Hope doctor will work this on priority.
The waiting time was more than 1.5 hours, I waited patiently for my turn without raising any noise and when my turn came she tried to rush
She was busy entering the details in system rather answering my queries in a polite way.
