Dr. Poonam Patil

A good and well meaning doctor; can't say the same about her Hospital (they pad the bills, look at your face and price and don't disclose costs properly)! I had to have a mole excised and my mother suggested Dr.Patil. She works at Manipal Hospital - we knew Dr. Patil from a previous interaction with her. She advised us correctly and there were NO problems (pain, infection-sepsis) and complications with the mole removal and subsequent biopsy. If you look at the Oncology notice board you might notice that hers is the only article with common sense and sound advise 'Early detection is IMPORTANT in cancer'. When I fell ill (viral) she advised me correctly and suggested plenty of Paracetamol for the pain and suggested I get a blood test for Dengue (I was worried it might be sepsis but it was a chemical burn because i had applied Dettol directly to the skin).

She is very friendly with patients and their families.

Hi all ,

unfriendly and rude doctor. I waited for the doctor for over 45 minutes even after having appointment. when she came i requested for urgency as i was sitting with my mother's PET ct scan and was very anxcious what the doctor will say.
