Dr. Preeth Shetty

I have 2 daughters. Both my daughters from day one, we are showing to Dr. Preeth. We are very comfortable and confident of Dr. Preeth. Whatever issue is there once we meet the doctor we are confident that my kids will be alright. Dr. Preeth is not only a doctor to our kids he is a guide, friend, mentor to my kids.

Since last 4 months we have been shifted to Pune but still we feel comfortable taking advice from Dr. Preeth on call. At times we called doctor late night also when we got panicked but without any hesitation he answered the call and given the medical advise accordingly. We would be very happy to recommend Dr. Perth to anybody and parents can be confident that your kids are in safe hands.

My daughter suffered with vomitting and stomach pain for 3 days and at last on the 4th day when i visited mallige hospital we came to know the real cause for stomach pain. All other hospital doctors , atleast 5 doctors were treating her for indigestion at last Dr.Preeth was the right person to detect that it was urinary infection. Tq doc for giving the correct treatment

I have been consulting him for past 9 years for my kids but recent experience was very bad. They don't keep stock for polio vaccines. You have to leave your number and you will be called after 1 month or so as per waiting list. The worst thing is, whenever you get a call, you have to come on the same day leaving all your work no matter what part of the world you are in on the that day. In mine case, I got a call after month, I told reception that I am unable to come today so pls give me appointment for next day. The lady refused to give the appointment and insisted that if you want vaccination, you have to come to clinic today only, pay the vaccination cost and then you can come for vaccination next day. If you don't go/pay on same day, your name will be removed from waiting list. Again you will have to give your number and wait for their call. They behave as if they are giving once a lifetime million dollar lottery ticket. They neither gave me appointment for next day nor they called me again. On next visit, I told doctor regarding the same, and his response was, how much time it takes for me to come and pay the vaccinations cost. What nonsense . He wants me to travel 4 hours from my office to come and reserve the vaccinations? I am regular patient and if I come next day what he is going to lose. When I tried to explain him, why I could not come, doctor said, I have other patients waiting, give your number to reception again. His behavior was as if I came for free visit. Very frustrating experience.

The interesting thing is, they will have schedule for Vaccination and will insist to finish the vaccination within the time frame recommended but if they don't have stock, then scheduled can be changed. My kids polio vaccine was overdue by 3 months.

Other Observations:

1. No use of prior appointment. You have to visit clinic, take token and wait.

2. Charges 50-60 Rs for each vaccination shots even if you buy the vaccinations from the same clinic.

3. If you visit clinic even for vaccination, you will be charged consultation fee of 300 Rs in addition to vaccination shot charges.

So total charges will be, Consultation + Vaccination shots charge + Vaccination cost.

4. Charges for repeat consultation within a week is less but if go after one week due to non availability of doctor (on holiday etc which is not your fault), you will have to pay full fee.

5. Some of the prescribed medicines will not be available outside easily. But It will be available in his clinic.

6. If you ask questions, he will be irritated. He tries to finish with the patients asap. He will be happy if you just listen to him and ask no questions.

7. He will hardly spend 1-2 min for patients, his assistant does most of the job including writing prescription. He has two consultations rooms. Before you leave the room, he will move to other consultation room.

8. He does not engage with or talk to child. Does not try to deviate the child's attention while giving shots. Don't find any toys in consultation room that child can play with during checkup.

9. Not proactive. Doe not ask more questions to parents which can help him diagnose the issue. You will have to tell him everything whether he listens or not.

10. Doesn't' explain side effects of medicines. Doesn't discus various options/brands of vaccinations in detail.

I am consulting this doctor from 2years, he was always in a hurry to check the patients ,he jumps from one room to other room just to save the time so that he can check more patients , recently my son got stomach pain and fever , for the same reason I had been to clinic for 3times in a month , so as a mother I was totally worried why this is happening to my son (3years old ) again and again , so asked him that antibiotics also given, and all medicines given completely for almost a month, *** ** ** *** ****** *is any thing has to be tested for further diagnosis , for that he got angry and started telling I will not give any medicine , u can go anywhere, how to treat without medicine bla bla... Don't have patience at all , he was not ready to listen my words , he will be fine if u don't ask any questions , if u simply node ur head for he say..his intension is just to see a patient with in 2min, ** ***** **** **** ******* ******** **** * **** *** ******** *** *** ********** Think twice or thrice before consulting him...

Not at all good.

Being new parents visited the doctor for very little blood seen on navel.

We were asked for blood test.

They pricked my baby twice. earlier they tried to prick on same hand and i prosteted.

Later we were sent out of the room and returning we saw blood spots every where.

Results were good and were advised not to apply anything over there and leave it open.

Few weeks later, liquid was seen coming out of navel.

We were asked to go and meet an SPECIFIC surgeon.

We instead consulted multiple doctors, everyone said it is VERY COMMON with babies and is treated by simple specific ointment.

My baby is fine now and initally nothing serious should not have been predicted.

Why was a common symptom not treated initally as everyone does. Not good.

Visited the clinic for a general checkup of our 7 months old daughter. Totally bad experience for us. The staff were rude and totally unprofessional. **** ******* **** **** **** **** **** ***** ******* Asked us to take our baby outside as she was cooing. She wasn't even crying. Staff act like they know everything. They told urine test needs to be conducted but doctor didn't prescribe any tests. They are the rudest staff I have ever come across. The doctor prescribes a lot of medicines and antibiotics ** ********* We just went for a general checkup but were prescribed paracetamol, eye drops, iron drops, brain development drops *** **** **** ****** ****** ********** **** ******* *** **** Runs his own pharma inside the clinic. ******** ** ***** * *** ** ****** ** *********** *** *********** And be wary of the rude staff. We told we would pay a visit by 1130 but staff questioned why we were late by 45 minutes as the number of patients became more when we visited. Really awful experience. Don't recommend this clinic at all. ***** **** **** ****** **** ** ********* * *** ** *********** ********* **** ****

Dr Preeth Shetty has been treating my 5 year old for almost 3 years now..He is one of the most calm and patient doctors I have come across and has been accessible whenever there was an emergency.

The staff are equally helpful! I have recommended him to many friends who are equally happy!

We consulted Mr Preeth Shetty at Fortis Nagarabhavi yesterday. We are extremely disappointed **** *** ************** *******. We paid him 600 in consulting fees, but he wasnt even ready to spent 2 mins in trying to understand what we were saying and what is our concern. He was trying sent us back as soon as we entered his room **** **** ************.

He had loud fan in his room and he was wearing a mask as well, so we didn’t hear most of what he said and he didn’t give us a chance to ask clarifying questions. **** *** ** ** ******* *** *** ******* ** ***************

As always had a great experience. We trust Dr.Preeth B Shetty from 5yrs since my daughter was born. He is a miraculous doctor. More than a pediatrician he is a good human being. We will never think twice about consulting him come what may be the situation. But I request to provide more contact numbers for booking the appointment.

Very great and thankfull. Dr. Preeth shetty has been a part of our family. He is not just been my daughter 's pediatrician. He has referred a great doctors to my husband. Since 8years I'm consulting him. Glad I got a opportunity to convey thanks to him.
