Dr Praveen Mathew is a great doctor! He’s very understanding and did listen to my concerns, he spent the required time to help me express my long-standing health issues and provided the **** treatment, today I’m completely free of my sickness.
This is My story - I was suffering from severe ache in my lower left abdomen region and other inconsistency of weight loss and shifting joint pains, over the past very many extended years, I was asked to take blood tests after blood tests and I was always informed that there was something wrong with my blood, either High hemoglobin or low platelets count, or some thing else, at times I was asked to do more in-depth blood tests.
I had visited various doctors and hospitals and NONE of them were able to identify what was the root cause of my ill health and my sickness was left untreated for very many years. One of the reports showed an enlargement of the spleen, I was told by all the previous doctors that there was no treatment for Spleen enlargement, but the underlying disease should be treated first which was something related to my blood, but they had no clue on how to move forward, I had lost all hope. (Btw I’m 58 years, Male, imagine my untold suffering and frustration in today's technological advance medical field )
Dr Praveen Mathew showed a willingness to listen and discuss my condition, which was very much needed by me, he showed an investigative mind and ability to connect, which was very encouraging, He told me that he needed a baseline to know where I stand immediately and what next steps were needed and explained what they looked like, what tests were needed and the stages after each result, The scientific approach and the genuine concern of Dr Praveen Mathew was truly a God sent blessing.
He was knowledgeable on what his approach was going to be, he was sensitive to my weak health condition and informative about how my treatment was being planned, I immediately felt at ease and felt confident in receiving expert medical care.
Based on all my previous medical reports that were there from the last 04 plus years, Dr Praveen Mathew recommended a few more advanced blood test, Liver fibroscan and endoscopy, after we got the results, and comparing all the previous reports, it was identified as to what was really wrong with my blood, and The endoscopy showed the amount of damage that was present in my digestive tract and liver fibroscan also showed my current liver conditions.
I was advised a single tablet medication for 3 months, once I started my course, I began to notice that I was getting healed on a daily basis, after 3 months, on my next visit post the follow up blood test, it showed that I was completely cleared and no target was found in my blood. What JOY it brought back to my life and my family members.
It was a wonderful and warm experience from start to finish, the staff at Trinity gastroenterology & Liver Clinic, along with the Pathology services were very friendly and professional.
Dr Praveen Mathew, I thank you for the special & excellent care you have provided and for the unique gift you are to your patients. I am blessed that I met you, I have great confidence in you and your abilities, I pray that may you be blessed with many more years of Service to humanity, Thank you so much for the great care.
Visited For Stomach Pain
Doctor is very friendly and patiently listens to the symptoms and based on the symptoms he would show us the entire digestive system diagram and would explain us the possible effected organs. Depending on the symptoms , he recommended the tests to go through. I had gone through nearly 6 tests which includes Endoscopy as well and these tests were absolutely useful in finding the exact problem and he is not the doctor who would simply ask us to go through all tests for the sake of money. Even the Endoscopy performed was smooth enough and before endoscopy he explained me the process how is going to perform and showed me the equipment and sterilisation techniques. Overall he performed endoscopy very smoothly and I did not feel any pain during the process as well.
Depending on all tests performed , he concluded that it was due to duodenal Ulcer I was getting pain on right side near abdomen area. He gave me the treatment which initially consisted of taking 6 tablets per day for first 2 weeks and for later 2 weeks he suggested me to take 1 tablet per day. I had completed my treatment and as of now there is no more pain.
He is one of the best gastroenterologists in Bangalore and unlike other reputed hospitals he would not recommend to go through unncessary tests and he would exactly diagnose the cause and gives the necessary treatment.

Trinity Gastroenterology&Diagnostics which is located in Kalyan Nagar, Bengaluru is best multi- speciality clinic.
Dr. Praveen Mathew is the best Gastroenterologist who saved my mother's health from becoming worse, as she was suffering from gastritis ulcer, She had stomach discomfort for past 7 months, She was unable to eat anything and her health became worse, Me and my mother visited 4 different clinics but none of them found solution and never tried to cure it. One of my relatives suggested to visit this place and they promised me that Dr. PRAVEEN MATHEW will surely cure all the stomach related problems. The hospital staffs inside this place are very kind and helpful, they answer all your doubts clearly.
Thanks to Dr. Praveen Mathew, he thoroughly studied the scan reports and gave proper medications, and now my mother is healthy and alright now. I'm happy seeing my mother's stomach problem is solved quickly, all thanks to doctor Dr.Praveen Mathew. He is the best Gastroenterologist in the city and I will recommend to all.

Hoped for better: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueWait time
Firstly, i had to wait more than two hours for a confirmed appointment. The reason being there were more people who booked on their website. I dont understand why you would take bookings for the same timings from two different sources. After my turn came, the consultation didnt last even 10 mins. I have been facing gastric issues lately due to/probably because of smokimg/alcohol consumption which i clearly described to the doctor. For some reason the doctor thought it was okay to be judgemental about this and started talking rudely to me for my life choices. ** * ****** ** *** ** ********** * ***** **** **** ** * ********** * **** **** ** *** **** *** ***** *** * **** **** ** *** ******** *** **** ****. The doctor then asked me to take blood report and do an endoscopy from his own clinic for which he is charging * ***** 5K for a simple blood test! I can get a whole body check up done in that amount. Probably would have gone for it anyways if at least I got an apology for waiting for so long.Overall, not a good experience
We had to wait 1.5+ hours to see the doctor. *** ************ ****** **** *************** The doctor was nice but he insisted on getting certain expensive tests done ASAP while he mentioned what my father had was very mild. Not a great experience. Staff behaviour was extremely bad. They kept sending the endoscopy patients while my father who had a 9.15AM appointment had to wait longer. **** *** *** *** ***** *** **** ** *** *** ************ ******* ****** *** ***** ** **** ***** *** ******* ******* ***********
Visited For Acidity
Hoped for better: Treatment satisfaction
The plus points are it is a clean place , lot of place to the sit , the doctor listens to your issue, checks you well and explains everything well.
The negatives experience
I went for a Acidity and gas issue which was going on for 2days only. Never had it in the past which I explained to the doctor . After he checked me , he said I may need to be admitted the next day after doing some test in the morning . This came upon a small shock for me as my problem was for the first time and the pain had not occurred in the last few hours. As I was traveling the next day ,I told the doctor I cannot come in the next day . He insisted I do a blood test then and there . The report would be mailed to me and I could check it when I m traveling if I need to visit a doctor elsewhere . It's been 3days , I have not received my report . I have been calling every day for the report but I only get some excuse that they have sent it, it's not going through .
After paying 2200 for the test which I have not received ,600 for the consultation and the doctor saying I may need to be admitted, this had made me think and has given me a negative experience of the place . Maybe I could be wrong but this is my view and feedback.

He is not equipped with basic tools like tongue depressor and stethoscope to holistically address a patient's problem. He said he is no longer practicing MD practice. He is also not attending to post visit quarries thru his halodoc app in timely manner. No contact or Wapp no. made available.
We went to another Pediatrician who brushed aside the blood report and quickly diagnosed it as mild food poison, then studied the report and administered anti biotic and suitable remedy. Just in 2 doses, my Kid started playing.
He was soft spoken and looked high class quality professional but unfortunately this time I found him to be very lethargic and unfocused.
A good doctor can diagnose food poison and stomach infection just by pressing the Patient's stomach, right? I see a tendency of fearful administration of medicine until reports are seen and particularly minimum medicine and avoiding anti biotic is a step to look as modern medical practice. But certain issues require appropriate medicines otherwise we have to continue to suffer.
Visited For Gastritis
I met the doctor last month only for gastric problem and NOT for any pain. I totally disappointed with the consultantion and treatment because normally when a patient consultant with the doctor for a disease, initially one or two times they will prescribe some medicine ** ** ** *** ****** **** **** **** ** *** ******* ******* **** ***** **** *** ********* ** **** *** *** ******** ** *** ******** But this doctor directly suggest for blood test and endoscopy just for gastric trouble. I spent around 5K for blood test and endoscopy. Finally the doctor said that everything normal in the test results. Then he prescribed for medicine. **** **** *** ****** ***** *** ****** *** *** *** **** *** *** ********* ******** ** ********** *** *** ******** Moreover consultation fees also very high ******** ** ***** ****** *** ********* After that I consulted with one retired doctor, he prescribed some medicines and food details also. It's cured within 3 days with consultation fee of Rs.100 only. My biggest worry is that Unnecessarily I wasted my money of 5K. I never suggest this doctor to anyone.

Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
I went to see the doctor for my frequent acid reflux , gastritis and indigestion problem. It was a chronic problem for me for quite a few years. Doctor Praveen recommended me endoscopy first. Endoscopy done by him was smooth and it was found that I have duodenal ulcer due to HPylori bacteria.
Doctor Praveen then recommended me antibiotics , post taking that I am completely cured.
I liked the way Doctor Praveen explained the problem , conducted Endoscopy smoothly and then cured the problem from root instead of fixing the symptoms.
