Doctor had spent good time in checking the lump and around places physically. Asked lot of relevant questions. Finally suggested very minimal medication. And most importantly shared his mobile number, and noted my contact and details in his personal diary and asked to keep in touch and update the status after 2-3 days over phone or WhatsApp. Very confidently assured me no further medication or consultation would not be required. I would personally recommend him for all your general health issues.

Doctor is very experienced. He is polite, friendly and asks very relevant questions to come up with proper diagnosis. He doesn't suggest unnecessary Tests unless situation demands for it. He even asked me to get in touch over phone in case of any query. A BIG Thankyou & ThumbsUP to doctor Lakshmikanth.

Went to the doctor with high fever and tired body ache.
The doctor was friendly and professional compassionate.
Took all the time to go over my questions. You're able to schedule an appointment online.
Staff was very kindly.
Service was quick efficient and very helpful.
I left the clinic already feeling much better.
Would recommend to friends
I visited this doctor for wheezing and chest congestion relief and his prescribed medicines reacted on me adversely and I had to visit him next day.. he was directly blaming me as I didn't inform about my allergy to asthalin.. frankly I didn't know so I didn't tell him. He charged full fees of INR 350 each for both the visits. I am still not feeling any better with the prescribed tablets after taking the medications for 4 days . This is my experience.. nothing against this doctor or clinic . I am planning to visit another doctor tomorrow.

I visited during october. He made us wait for a long time....Later, Took a long time to explain the issue. Doctor wasnt brief *** ** ********* **** **** ********* **** ** **** ** **** *** ********** *** ** ******** He overreacted and explained me every hook and corner of what possible things can go wrong. **** ** ** *** ****** ** ** ******** **** ******..But for a patient this attitude by a doctor is not desirable) and made me do blood, urine and other tests..Also he was forcing me to get admitted to some hospital. ** ****** ** ***** **** ** ******** *** *******..But I dint listen to him.. I took paracetamol (advised by him) and the illness vanished in 1-2 days. But I lost money in getting blood , urnie and other tests.

I had consulted Dr RP Lakshmikanth for overnight fever which was occurring with me for two days. I must say that Doctor paid attention to my symptoms, asked few questions about my health background, recent activities. He did not recommend for unnecessary tests. He suggested few basic medicines as there was no need of any extra medicines. I would say he stands different from remaining doctors who suggests unnecessary tests followed by lot of medicines these days

This doctor is an elderly gentleman who knows his stuff very well. It was a pleasant experience visiting him and he explained patiently about the issue. He listens to the patient’s troubles and provides remedies accordingly. He is very caring about the patient’s well-being. I’d definitely recommend this doctor.

Amazing doctor as well as person. He will listen to you patiently and when you are done he will reiterate what you said just to be sure. He will then explain you thoroughly about your condition and also explain why he is giving a certain medicine and how it will affect. I would highly recommended this doctor.

This is the first time that we have consulted him. We found him very patient and focused on the previous medical history of the patient . He did not jumped in to any hurried conclusion as to his diagnosis. We hope, his treatment will give relief to the patient.
Visited For Stomach Pain

The doctor was a nice guy, but I would not go back:
Pros
Spent time understanding my medical history in detail.
Cons
1. Talks for a long time, I did not have that much time to kill.
2. I had pain in a particular area, and he missed prodding the parts that were sore or sensitive. I thought it was important to test where it hurt.
3. He gave me 3 different lines of treatment at the same time. I decided to follow only one and am feeling fine - of course he could've been right but that treatment plan was too aggressive for me.
