My son met with a road accident in 2008 and was brought to emergency to Sagar hospital, Jayanagar, Bangalore. He was attended to and operated upon for cranioplasty. During the entire stay in the hospital, Dr. Pani was very much concerned, helpful, friendly with my son Nishant Saxena. He was discharged from the hospital after recovery. After 13 years of operation, he now feels shooting pain at the site of surgery occasionally. I have consulted one Neurosurgeon friend of mine at Jaipur - Rajasthan (My native). I wish to consult Dr. Pani once again. I am not aware of where he is practicing these days.

I went for my father's spine surgery. He is very patient, friendly, always have a smile on his face and puts everything on ease. "D't worry, everything will be ok". This assurance of him, takes 50% of the problem. He is a good surgeon, he helped alot of people.

I had a consultation with Dr. Prathap Kumar Pani for my dad's severe headache, but the doctor was dismissive. He didn’t listen to our concerns, ask any diagnostic questions, or explain anything. The consultation lasted barely two minutes, and the hospital charged ₹1500, while Practo shows the consultation fee as ₹1000. I am not sure why this discrepancy exists in the consultation fee. The prescription was incomplete—neither the nurse nor the chemist could understand it, and it lacked dosage instructions. **** ***** ** *********** ********** **** *** ******* ** * ****** ******** ** *************

I went there for lower back pain which is recurring for me. His examination was way too less, just asked me to raise my legs one by one and he was done, normal physiotherapists do 10 times more examination. Then I asked him what is the issue, why is it happening, he just wrote two medicines and told to come after 5 days. I again asked, what is the problem, to which he replied, "it's back-ache". It obviously was back-ache that's why I went there, he didn't say anything relevant.

The doctor was very friendly & readily available for the surgery. Always gave us hope & right information. Even after the surgery, the doctor was always available on phone for suggestions. We were blessed to have met for my father's treatment.

He does not talk much and does surgeries with dedication. I think in a time when doctors talk more to lure patients he's an angel. Cured brain tumor by a 9 hr long surgery for my brother and also did surgery for my dad when he had stroke. Both done very well as I have a lot many neurosurgeons known and all said his job was best. I'll definitely recommend to those who prefer treatment over sweet polished talking.
