The 1st time registration at Sakra World Hospital took too long. Booked the appointment for 2.30 PM, registration concluded at 3 PM, was able to meet the doctor only after 3.15 PM for a few minutes. \n\nDoctor Harinarayan has a very pleasant & easy going manner. \n\nDoctor Harinarayan looked at the latest physical test done 2 days back in a Systematic way, asked pertinent questions & suggested a new course of diabetes treatment \/ control. \n\nNext appointment in 2 Weeks to see the Diabetes situation change with treatment. \n\nThe Sakra World Hsopital New Registration Validity is too short - Just 1 Week. My personal Sakra World Hospital experience was generally Ok, nothing out of the ordinary as such.

Visited Dr. Hari Narayan for my Mother's Diabetes Management last November, 2017 and since then visiting him every 3 months.
The situation improved very well and Diabetes is under control.
Even though he speaks less he inquires what is required from patient for treating them and prescribes what is required.
I would definitely recommend him and in fact recommended him for my friends and relatives.
Wish him a healthy life so that people can benefit from his k******** *** services in the years to come.
WORST experience with Dr. CV Harinarayan. I'm not one for exaggeration or worst view. But you should seriously consider reviewing the work of Dr. CV Harinarayan. When I took my mother for a review of her ongoing medication on diabetics, this doctor didn't bother to even look at her. His communication was limited to me telling him history where he kept checking his phone. And then he gave a list of tests including various X-Rays for her previous operations without even examining her. My first reaction after coming out was to throw the consultation paper in garbage and regret me spending 2 hours and 700/- rupees to see this unprofessional.

This doc from sakra is very impatient and he doesn't respect patients. He is hot headed gets irritated if patients miss any lab reports for follow up consultation. He charges bomb n doesn't even speak for 2 minutes. He must understand to treat patients with kindness n respect being in such noble profession.

Happy with: Treatment satisfactionWait time
I am diabetic since last 14 years, I was in Pune . I hv changed many doctors there as I was not comfortable with either of them because they don't give enough time to explain our complaints. Here I am very comfortable with the treatment proceedings and though I am staying in kerala I will never change my doctor as long as possible. Moreover when I visited Dr.Harinarayansir first time as about 3 months back my Hba1c was 10.5 and within 3 months medicines now it is 7.7. I am fully satisfied with the treatment.
Visited For Diabetes
I am a diabetic for last 18 years and this was uncontrolled till i met Dr.Harinarayan. Even though i was on medication but this was not working at all. After meeting Dr.Harinarayan, i felt confident that my diabetes will come under his supervision.
After first consultation, he prescribed basic medicines and asked us to monitor the progress using home kit, till the next visit.
This has worked and his prescription worked wonders. What was 296 fasting has come down to the range of 100 - 105, under his supervision
All thanks for Dr.Harinarayan for his expert supervision.

Dr. Harinarayan is excellent ** *** ********* *** ********* but you need to be patient with him and work with him through the process. Upfront he may come across as a very direct person, but he is very good in what he does and once you get to know him and he gets to know you, it works out.
The wonderful thing is he is really good in what he does and hence rest doesn't matter. He is very sensitive to patient's need and that's utmost important for him which is what matter.
Visited For Underactive Thyroid
The doctor is extremely arrogant and has no patience to listen to patients. He gave me not more than 2mins of his time and started scribbling on the page with the look of utmost apathy on his face like us patients are 'underlings' of some sort. I've never received such apathetic response from a doctor. Please do not make the mistake of visiting him because of his prestigious awards.. it's not worth it. I've decided to consult another endocrinologist
Visited For Thyroid Disorders
Horrible experience. ***** ** *** **** *** **** * ******* **** ***** ** ******** ** ** *** ***** Does not even listen to patient. Wants lab test explicitly to be done in his hospital. Didn't even bother to ask details from patient. He might have an DM degree but I'ld rather prefer to go with some MBBS doctor than him. I found him very arrogant and i'll mannered also he attended calls while I was making an attempt to talk to him.
Visited For Thyroid Disorders
Had a bad experience with this doctor. He has poor listening skills and bedside manner. He thinks very high of himself and didn't respect the patient. Answered phone during consultation. Was impatient and didn't answer all my questions. Ended up changing the endocrinologist.
