Due to some issues we have been forced to visit Rainbow Children's Hospital, Marathahalli. My wife has given a birth to a preterm baby which was 732 Grams in weight. That time we met Dr. Rajat Athreya & team,who became saviours of my child's life. The way the treatment given by them was extraordinary. The confidence and the counselling given to the parents was awesome. They have given a new life to my child and to us as well. I thank each and everyone of the hospital staff for their extraordinary treatment. I recommend everyone for their neonatal issues and fertility issues as well.

I had been seeing Dr. Rajath for my daughter. She contracted severe cold at just one month of age. He prescribed medicines and did not push for hospital admission. He is very gentle and I am surprised to read reviews stating that he is not approachable. Some cases require hospitalization since immunity of babies and adults are different. So it's not fair to say that Dr. is unnecessarily pushing for hospitalization. In fact in our case the cold was so severe we thought hospitalization might be necessary. But Dr. Rajath assured us that it will not be needed and prescribed some medicines which cured our daughter eventually.
Visited For Neonatal Nursing
visited for new born baby handling, the doctor is not easy going or approachable.
Which is most important for Parents while taking care of new born baby.
It is more important to explain clearly what is the problem and intensity of it and medication for the same, rather than complicating the trivial case and just telling there is some problem which needs to addressed with un wanted medication and tests.
Visited For Newborn Jaundice

My experience with Dr. Rajat was not very good. We meet with him regarding our new born jaundice issue. His explanation was not up to the mark, his only concern was to admit the kid in hospital in which he is doing practicing. He was even not that friendly with us when we were asking some doubts. Lots of degree does not make you a good Dr. It's your attitude, suggestion, behavior with parents and correct advice which matters.

I visited him at Sakra Hospital for my son who had an abscess below his eyes. He patiently examined and referred me to the cosmetic surgeon. He called up the Dr. and explained as well. What was a pleasant surprise and act of courtesy, he transferred his fees to the cosmetic surgeon as well. I am so impressed with the attitude and gentle nature that would refer him to one and all.
Dr Rajath is an extremely caring and gentle person with immense patience to listen to his patients & their parents. My kids have benefited from his expertise and care. His friendly nature makes him very approachable. Thank you doctor for your advises.

Doctor may be highly qualified but first and foremost thing is doctor should be approachable and should have patience for hearing concern of patient. The kind of demeanour he is having, patient do not feel free in asking their concern.
