Dr. Pradeep Kumar T J

Dr. Pradeep Kumar was able to diagnose the ailment correctly and quickly. Treatment for swineflu is time sensitive. He was decisive on the treatment which gave me the confidence in my recovery. He took time to explain the nature of illness and how he would tackle it. Having diagnosed with the scary swineflu, i felt safe in his hands. His nursing staff is friendly and very professional. I highly recommend Dr. Pradeep Kumar and Brookefields Hospital.

I connect with dr.pradeep for any health problem and the best thing about him is

1. He gives lot of time to his patients

2. He has a very good understanding of human body and diseases..

The reason I say this is cos all the time he has detected my problem quick and right which help me start with right medication in time.

ImThis review is for the doctor aswell as Brookfield hospital.admitted my brother in an emergency who had a high fever and happened to faint at home as it was the nearest hospital from my place.

Once we reached the emergency department, doctors and nurses were so not ready that they didn't even have an emergency stretcher. we somehow managed to get him to the ward. After some examination the doctor(Mr. Venkatesh Pujar) on duty said that he might be having a seizure/fits, there is a greater risk and he is required to be admitted in ICU. I quickly agreed for the same as I was worried and I couldn’t think of any other option. I was asked to pay 20k in advance and I made the payment without having a second thought.

The night he was kept in ICU and they conducted every possible test they could and said that there would be a neurosurgeon visiting early morning at 7 am. I was fine with it as the only concern for me was my brother's health. I spent the night at the waiting room which was very dirty( the bedsheets were never washed with mosquito blood on the same) *** * **** **** *** **** ********* ***** ****** ****** ***** *** * ******* ******* ** *****

The next morning no Neurosurgeon arrived and(Dr. Pradeep Kumar TJ) who also happens to be the MD of the hospital, came to take a routine check. By this time: Renal profile, Reactive protein, CBC, Liver function tests, Blood glucose Random(RBS), Troponin-T, Dengue NS1 AG, AB, Peripheral smear for malaria parasite, Typhidot(salmonella Abs), Urine Routine examination and Canulization were performed.

I somehow figured out after reading the reviews for the hospital and the doctors **** **** ***** *** ********* ** ****** **** *** ***** ***** *** ******** *** I had some sort of negative vibes about the doctor and the hospital as well. ***** **** ** ******** ****** ******** ***** *** ******* * ******** ** ************* *** ** ******* *** *** **** ******* ** *** ****** The next thing I did was decide to take him ** * ****** hospital nearby********* ***** also because the insurance policy my brother was enrolled in, *** ******** **** ** * **************** ********* Dr. Pradeep approached me and said that it might be a case of brain fever and a full-body MRI would be required, by the time my brother was active but was still kept in ICU. I asked for the reason why he is still in ICU in spite of his temperature coming down and he is active now. The doctor started being rude to me stating it's the doctor's job to make sure that the patient is fine and he would be kept in ICU and would not be moved to a regular ward. That's where I made up my mind and decided to move him ** ******** ***** When I again approached the doctor to get him discharged, he started to be rude to me *** **** ***** ******** ********* ** ******** ** ** **** * ******* ** **********

By this time below are the INJECTIONS & MEDICINES **** **** ***** ** *** *** ** **** ******* *************** **** ******* ********** ****** *** **** ******* ******* ********* ******* *** *** *****

I fought with the doctor and finally got him discharged - AGAINST MEDICAL ADVICE.

After the discharge was approved, my brother and sister were the only ones on the floor and the ICU was left unattended ** ******** *** *** ******* ** *********** *** **** ** *** ******* ***** I was charged 26, 000.00 for the 15 hours of hospitalization **** *** ******* ******* ****** *** **** **** *** ***** ** ****** ********* * *********** I must say the hospital does not even follow basic cleanliness, ** ****** *** *** ***** *** *** ******** ****

The next thing I did was took my brother to a renowned doctor where I myself was undergoing consultation for viral fever ** ****** ****** * *********** for a second opinion. *** *** ********* ** *** *** **** ** ********* **** *** ***** *** **** * **** ** ********* *** ******** ** ** ***** *** ** *** *********** ***** ****** *** *********** *** ******* * ******** *** ** *** ***** ***** * *** *** **** ** **** *** ******** ** * *** *** ******** ** ******** ***** ********** *** **** *** ****** ** *** ******** ***** *** * **** ***** * ******** ******** *********** *** *** ***** **** ********* **** ** *** ******** ** *** ******* *** ******* *** ** **** **** **** ************** *** ***** ********* ** ********** *** *** **** ** ********* ******** *** *** **** ***** ** *** ******* ** ******** ***** *********** ** ********* ********** ***** ** **** ** ********* *** ********** ****** ** *** ***** * *** ****** * ******** ********* **** ** *****

Here comes the next challenge: reimbursement of the insurance claim. as per the regular process, I submitted the bills of Brookfield hospital for reimbursement. The insurance agency rejected the bills as there was no treating doctor's certificate provided for the same. I went back to *** ********* MD Dr. Pradeep, He was so rude and denied to provide any such document. I and my brother visited the hospital at least 5 times to receive the certificate. Finally, I requested the insurance agency to send out a mail and it was found that the emergency doctor(Dr. Venkatesh) had provided a blank sheet with no mention of why the admission to hospital was suggested, he had left all the columns - doctor's notes, tests advised, the diagnosis, etc blank. *** *** * ****** ** ** ********* on finding out that it was the hospital's fault Dr. Pradeep then asked the staff to fill all the details and provide the same to me.
