We visited doctor few times for the follow up for our baby and all 3 times we had to wait at least for 30 min with the baby on hands.

When we went for the first consultation after the delivery of the baby in Motherhood hospital, the first thing he did was to give us a sheet mentioning about his clinic instead to listening to us about the reason for our visit. After that he got some calls on his mobile which he took almost 10 mins to finish. After all this he just checked the baby and said all is fine.
His behaviour was very unprofessional and i would recommend the doctor to first listen to the patient, and check the baby. He can give his clinic information in the end once the consultation is finished. Also taking calls in the middle of the consultation and that too for more than 10 mins is not at all good and shows a high level of unprofessionalism. Urgent calls can be taken but the calls that were taken during the consultation could have been easily taken afterwards.

Had booked appointment with the doctor because baby was having issues with feeding and was having cold. Doctor had gone on rounds so we had to wait for more than 1 hour. It will be good if no appointments are booked during the time doctor goes for rounds. **** ** ******* *** **** ****** *** **** *** *** **** ******** ********. After we explained the issue, the doctor just used stethoscope to check for cold while the baby was still in my lap. He then straight away started typing out the medicine on his system and handed us a print out. Was very surprised to see that doctor did not even ask if we are administering any other medicine to the baby or how many days the condition is existing. For a consultation fees of 800 Rs. and more than 1 hour wait time, we expected better treatment instead of mere 5 minutes. Also, one of the medicines he prescribed is not available inside the motherhood pharmacy and is it not available anywhere else even in online meds. *** **** ******** ***** ** ** **** **** *** **** ***** * **** ***** ** **** ** **** * ****** **** He was unavailable to contact to get an alternate medicine. Very disappointed. Doctor must prescribe medicines which are easily available else it's difficult for babies.

Today I visited this dr for my 4 yr old kid's vaccination, and Iam 36 weeks pregnant..there was a huge crowd waiting for drs in paediatric session and from help desk, they are telling everyone that there is a waiting period of 1.5 hrs as all the drs are busy....I have been waiting inside his cabin for more than 5 min...he was over phone and doing self praising..in between nurse came with 2 slips and she wrote down the medicine name to buy from pharmacy for vaccination..he didn't even bother to check the details of the vaccination or anything, simply he signed at the end ...we are paying 600/- for consultation...later nurse told me to sit and he was still over phone...after 10 min of waiting dr cut the call and talked to me ....he understood iam not happy with his behaviour..so he took over care of my kid nd myself asking about my health, my due etc etc...didn't expect such an unprofessional behaviour from a dr...I won't recommend him...he was talking with a smiley face and very friendly at the end...but that won't make him a good dr....may be he qualified and experienced...but should change the attitude..

He has a unique way of interacting with the children. He lets them relax and get comfortable with him, that takes away the child's anxiety associated with a doctor visit. He then does the diagnosis as he is playing and interacting with the child* ***** **** ************* *** **** communicates the issues and treatment options quite well.
Visited For Milk Allergies
The very first day of fever, he asked us to go for the blood check up for our 8 months old baby. He scared us with so many things and even before the reports came he was suggesting for the antibiotic treatment with IV. And the experience with motherhood hospital was extremely bad since no one respects your time there....overall a big NO
