Visited For Throat Treatment
I’ve been struggling with this issue for 5 years, visiting multiple doctors with no clear answers — one said it was vertigo, another said infection, and a third said it was normal. Finally, I met Dr. Pradeep, who diagnosed me with Eagle Syndrome within minutes.
He examined carefully, could pinpoint the problem, guided me through the right tests, and explained everything clearly. Dr. Pradeep is friendly, professional, on time, and makes you feel comfortable, which made the whole process so much easier. I’m so grateful for his expertise and care — he truly knows what he’s doing.
Highly recommend him for anyone facing long-standing, unexplained throat/neck issues.

Visited For ENT Services
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Pradeep. From the moment I walked into the clinic, Doctor took the time to listen to all my concerns and provided explanations that were clear and to the point. I was impressed by how quickly and accurately they diagnosed the core of the problem. They didn’t just stop at the diagnosis but also suggested the most effective medication and recommended appropriate tests to ensure a thorough understanding of my condition. I felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Dr. Pradeep to anyone seeking professional and compassionate medical care.
I got to the hospital 20 mins before my appointment time. Still had to wait fir 1.5hr to see the doctor. When I was finally called in, the consultation was extremely brief, lasting barely 5mins. The doctor didn’t take the effort to explain what my health concerns were, what caused it or the preventive measures.
After a quick examination, the doctor handed me over to the attendant who prescribed me the medication and explained the dosage.
Overall, the experience lacked personal attention or guidance which is expected from a health care professional.
Wouldn’t recommend this to others, based on my personal experience.

A Disappointing and Painful Experience at Meenakshi ENT Speciality Centre I had a deeply disappointing experience during my recent visit to Meenakshi ENT Speciality Centre through Practo.Firstly, despite the consultation fee being listed as ₹750, I was charged ₹800. When I questioned this, I was informed that ₹50 was a registration fee. ** *** ** *** ************ I later found out that a direct visit to the clinic would have cost only ₹500. It’s extremely unfair that booking through Practo results in higher charges without any transparency.* *** **** **** ** ***** **** ** ******** ******** *********** ** *** ******* ***** * ***** **** ******* *** *************** **** ******* ****** * ******* **** *** ******** ******* *** ******* ******* ********* **** * ****** **** ******* ***** **** *** ****** * *** *** **** * ********** ********* ******** *** ***** ***** ** ******* *** **** **** **** ** ******** ****** **** ****** ** ******** *** ***** * ****** ****** ** *** ****** ** ******** *** *********The behavior of the clinic staff was yet another disappointment. Despite having an appointment, I was made to wait for 50 minutes without any proper communication. Each time I inquired about the delay, I received improper responses. After multiple follow-ups, I was finally told, “Wait for 2 minutes, you will be let inside.” When I asked if we should stand or sit, the staff dismissively responded, “You can stand; it’s only for 2 minutes.” However, even after waiting an additional 5 minutes, we were still not called in. This blatant disregard for patients’ time is unacceptable.*** ********* **** ******** **** * *** *** ******* After briefly listening to my concerns, I was instructed to lie down without any explanation of what the procedure would involve. When I directly asked why I needed to lie down, the doctor casually mentioned that he was going to remove ear wax. ***** ** * ******** ***** ************** ** ****** *** ******* ********** ***** *** ********** *** ******** *** *** ********* *********** Patients deserve clarity and reassurance, not to be left uninformed.The doctor assured me the procedure would be painless. Unfortunately, this was far from the truth. As he proceeded, I experienced significant pain. When I flinched slightly due to the discomfort, instead of showing concern or offering reassurance, the doctor coldly remarked, “Don’t move, I’m under a microscope.” Despite expressing that I was in pain, he showed no empathy and continued without any acknowledgment of my discomfort. ** ************ **** *** * ************ ********* * **** **** ******** ** ******** A simple heads-up would have made a world of difference.This experience has left me not only dissatisfied but deeply concerned about the clinic’s standards of care and conduct. ** ******* ****** **** ** ****** **** * **** ************* * ********* **** ******* ********** ****

Dr. PS Pradeep has very little tolerance for a patient's natural behavior and believes he is superior to others. ** ***** ***** ***** ********** comparing a patient’s experiences in a way that is nonsensical, like comparing apples and oranges.********** ** ****** *** ** ****** ** ****** ******* *** ****** ***** ** ****** ********* *** ********* ********* ************ ******** **** ******** ** *** **** ******* *********** ************ **** ******* The hospital lacks professionalism and openly charges patients more ** **** **** ******* ******* In my case, they charged Rs 750 for the consultation and Rs 50 for registration* ***** * ***** **** **** *** ** *** ** *** ** * *** **** *********
Visited For Throat and Voice Problems
I had visited the doctor for voice and throat problems . While the doctor diagnosed it correctly (which am thankful for), he was very impatient to explain the medicines he had prescribed and simply asked me to follow orders and not question. While he was of the mindset that people “google” and there is misinformation out there , which I agree, it becomes important for the doctor to explain why certain medicines are being prescribed . Since I have a better understanding of my body from the history of consuming antibiotics, I’ll be a better judge to know if the medicine can be handled by my body without major side effects or not. It is important for the doctor to be patient with the patient . Other than that, diagnosis was precise and doctor explained what the issue was , no complaints there.
Visited For Tinnitus Evaluation / Management
Hoped for better: Value for money
Took my father to the hospital for tinitus evaluation, complete lost of money. **** ******** ** *** ** *********** ** *** ***** ********* **********
Doctor suggested few tests but as most of them we got in another hospital before coming here. As we had almost all tests done, they were in search of what tests to do. They did HIV test, blood group test ***** *** ** *** ******* ** *** ********
We came as outpatient only, they charged 1500 for covid test.after paying the money we observed the same and questioned them. No answer from the staff.
VERY VERY BAD EXPERIENCE. Never ever suggest this hospital to any one for God sake
