54 Patient Stories for Dr. Prabhakar B
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
I went to Dr prabhakar, for gall stones and a hernia complaint. ** ******** ** ** ****** ********* ********* *** **** ********. i saw him once more afterwards and after which i was reassured of the procedure. Aster is extremely efficient hospital, and the general surgery team is very efficient. Dr pruthviraj sethumadav handled the follow ups after surgery along with suture removal. He was very cheerful and reassuring. i am very satisfied with my doctor experience as well hospital experience.
I had a good experience with Dr. Prabhakar B. The doctor explained everything clearly, and I would recommend this doctor to others. I would rate my experience a four out of five.
I was shocked and very setup to receive such treatment from a senior doctor. My brother had his fingernail stuck inside the thumb of his feet which caused swelling and accumulation of pus. So as per Dr. Prabhakar's advice, we did a small surgical procedure at Narayana Health, Whitefield to take the pus and nail out. After coming back home, my brother started having very high fever around 103 or 104 deg F. We went to the doctor again after one day but the doctor kept us waiting for almost 3 hours in that condition (my brother was shivering with very high fever). After long wait, he saw my brother and discovered that he has forgot to give tetanus injection on the day the operation was carried out. So, we gave tetanus on that day and also some paracetamol injections. Again we came back home but high fever was still persisting. When we tried to reach the doctor over phone, Narayana health didn't revealed his mpbile number neither they allowed us to contact the doctor over hospital phone. Then we went to some other clinic in our locality and there the doctor mentioned that due to infection spread in the blood (because of that surgery), my brother was having the high fever and pain. He was treated with some other antibiotics and now he is little better. Please avoid such doctor if possible who are there only for money making.
