Patient Stories for Dr. Prabhakar B
Visited For Appendix Surgery (Appendectomy)
The doctor explained everything very clearly and the clinic experience was good with no issues. I would definitely recommend this doctor and rate the experience five out of five.
The consultation went well, and the doctor explained everything clearly.
I was unable to attend the consultation because I didn't get a proper appointment. *** ********** *** ***** ************
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.
The consultation with Dr. Prabhakar B was satisfactory and he explained everything clearly. The patient had a nominal experience at the clinic and is willing to recommend the doctor to others.
