My mom in law, Mrs Sabita Bose, Aged 72 Years, lives in kolkata and had severe pain in the low back both knees and both ankles. Also there was constant burning sensation. We met and consulted Dr Prakash BL in Vanditha Clinic on 15Jan2021 . He patiently heard the patient story, then diagnosed her to be OSTEOARTHRITIS GRADE 4. This was confirmed by the XRAYS and Bone Mineral Density Scan. I must compliment Dr Prakash's accurate diagnosis and disease prognosis too, the explanation was Lucid and very effective in our decision making. He started medication and advised TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT. The surgery was performed on 29Jan2021 in PROMED Hospital, Banashankari Stage II.
Doctor Prakash BL has scientifically & systematically explained the post surgery recovery procedure to the patient. The patient's co-operation is total. He saw the patient two times every day, kept the patient cheerful and in good humour. He is accessible always and us just a call away, we found he responds immediately.
Further his Communication is very good & effective. The pain management was awesome and very effective and so was the physiotherapy. Because she is Bengali, his recommended Physiotherapist - Dr Anirban Kundu also was a WoW.
Doctor never insisted or restricted with regard to food intake, but allowed to understand & evaluate on a day to day basis, which is helpful. Our next review with Dr Prakash BL is on 19Feb2021(Discharged on 04Feb2021).
Dr Prakash BL recommended, PROMED HOSPITAL. We were there from 28Jan2021 till 04Feb2021 in room#201. I have no hesitation in recommending the same to everyone. Awesome experience, super services, great nurses and support staff, excellent doctors.and a healthy canteen serving nice food to the patients as well as the attendants. My compliments to my front office contact Mr Praveen too. Great job done by each one.

Very conservative doctor and highly experienced
We are consulting him for the past 9 years since he is very good
I am not happy with Dr. Prakash ********** Consulated for knee pain. On the first visit, i was given pain killer spary and diclofenac sodium tabs. This didn’t lowered my pain and After 10 days i went for second consultation. This time Doctor directly suggested to go for a injection costing around 20k. I got bit tensed and visted a different orthopedist and understood that injection was not required. Aftet a month of proper rest, the pain got completely curied. Am completely fit and fine without having to take injection which would had given additional problems if application had went wrong.

I went for my wife's knee pain. He doesnt spend much time to understand the problem he hardly spent twon mins and suggested for an MRI and for he suggests a particular LAB.
We were charged Rs. 500 for two mins and We got the MRI done.
Next day we went with the report and again We were charged Rs. 500. This time he came up with a medical term say, "Problem A" and suggested medication for 3 months. 45 days gets over **** ** *********** and We decide to visit him again. Now he comes with some new medical term say, "Problem B", and again suggests new medication for next 3 months. And were charged Rs. 500.
Again 15 days over **** ** ************ We have discontinued them medicine and started meeting a new doctor where We can see the improvement.
It was a loss of preciuos time and money. A doctor should spend time and understand patients problem. I am not going to recommend him to anyone. Not good experience.

I had to wait for more than 40 minutes past my appointment time. Staff was not responsive.
Doctor himself did not try to understand all my problems ( I had multiple issues shoulder back knees). He hardly inspected me and asked for an xray. Upon telling that I got an xray done some time back, he asked to get an MRI without bothering to check the X-ray. ** ****** ** **** ****** ** ***** ** *** there was noone waiting after me in the clinic.
