Visited For Adenotonsillectomy
Both Dr Ravi and Dr NithyaV were good, simple. Gave sufficient time to patient. I strongly recommend these doctors to everyone *** ***** **** *** *************
I have a very positive feedback for Dr Ravi. He was very helpful to us in treating our case. Actually we had multiple appointments on the same day with the doctor. One was for my sister and other was for her daughter.
My sister had sinus problem and her daughter had difficulty in breathing due to heavier cold. Doctor gave us a very satisfactory treatment. We are from Mumbai. My sister has a consulted couple of doctors in Mumbai for the same problem, but to her bad, she did not get cured there. After shifting to Banglore Dr Ravi is the only doctor she consulted for sinus treatment. His treatment has improved my sister condition to greater extent.
To be more explanatory he is a very straight forward kind of many. He always speaks open. He would never suggest operations if its seriously not necessary. Hence we had a great painless treatment.
And adding to the experience, clinical staff area also great, they know how to treat a person who comes to there clinic. The tidy clinic is and added thing here.

Hoped for better: Doctor friendlinessWait timeTreatment satisfactionExplanation of the health issue
My review is based not just on one or two consultations with this doctor, but a history of surgeries and the overall attitude of Dr Ravi Sachidananda over the past 3.5 years. I was diagnosed with Sleep apnea in 2017. Since the standard treatment method,"CPAP" didn't work for me, I was referred to People Tree's ENT head(this person) by my local ENT. He did an evaluation and recommended 3 surgeries Septoplasty with Turbinate Reduction, Tonsillectomy and Barbed Pharyngoplasty. And he assured me that I would see atleast 80-90% improvement in my symptoms, which is why I proceeded with surgery. I was operated on Nov, 2017 by Dr Ravi and Dr Sandeep Dachuri at PT hospital.
***** ***** ******* ** ******** *** *** ******* * ****** **** * *** ****** *** **** ******** ***** * *** ************ I went to him 3-4 times in the next 2 years, for follow-ups and told him my symptoms hasn't reduced whatsoever. Subsequent sleep studies revealed that the AHI(Measure of sleep apnea) was still significant. All this while, this Dr kept on saying that he did the surgery really well, and that it was a great success. He never for once cared to listen to my symptoms, and my state of being. Fast forward to 2021, I recently had a sleep endoscopy and a CT scan of my airways. **** ****** **** *** ********* ** ***** ********************** ********* ** *** ** **** **** ** ***** ******** **** ****** *** ***** ** ******** ******** ** *** *********** ***** ** ******* * **** *********** ** ** ****** ****** ***** ********* ** ***** ****** So, I recently took these scans and showed it to him, *** **** *** **** *** ******* ***** ********* even after four years of surgery, ***** *** ************* *************** ** ***** ****** ****** **** ***** *** ** ****** *** **** ** ******** ** *** **** *** ******* *** **** ** ***** *** **** ********** ** ***** **** *** ******* ******* ****** **** ***** *** * *********** ******** *** **** * ********* **** *** ******** *** ***** ************* He did say that performing another surgery would not be optimal, and I wasn't willing to undergo another surgery from him either. *** **** ***** ** **** **** ** **** ****** *** ****** ******** ******* ** * ********** ********** * **** ** ** ****** ******** ** ********* ***** *** *********** ** *** ****** *** *** **** ** ***** ** *** ******** These doctors did my DISE half and hour before surgery, and it wasn't even shown to me.

Visited For Tonsillitis Treatment
Doctor is very good. Very friendly, explains the requirements and problems clearly. ******* *************.
But Hospital is very costly. For Tonsillectomy they are charging 1.2lakhs for General ward. And 12k at least for consumables . This is equivalent to C-section surgery ..
My experience in People tree hospitals was very very bad. Even though i had taken a online appointment and booked a dedicated slot for myself with the doctor i was made to wait for forty five minutes in the clinic. This was very bad as i was suffering from heavy viral fever and was alone alone there and tired a lot.
The staff behavior is also very worst, none of them had the concern that i was waiting in the clinic for a very long time. I also gave the same feedback to doctor when i enter his desk. Doctor said that he would take action as he was not aware of the problem.
When it comes to treatment for the viral fever, Dr. Ravi Sachidananda took a personal interest and treated me well and i am cure now. Treatment vise i am happy, but not with the waiting and staff behavior.
However the clinic is very well maintained with all necessary amenities required for a patient at the clinic and also spacious enough to accommodate more people. Doctor or the management has to take a serious call on the issue with waiting in the clinic.
Visited For Eardrum Rupture Treatment
Very polite and friendly doctor with clear explanations of treatment.He is experienced and listens
Happy with: Treatment satisfactionExplanation of the health issue
After visiting him first for getting throat infection treatment for my husband, This is the second time I have visited Dr. Ravi. I was suffering from severe throat infection and pain. Not did he find out the actual root cause of pain but also gave me immediate treatment for Tonsillitis. His prescribed medication was very effective and relieved me of the severe pain I was going through from last 3days. I would highly recommend Dr Ravi for future. He is also very professional that adds to your confidence in your doctor. Would be glad to get any opportunity to thank him for doing his job at its best.
Visited For Sore Throat
Hoped for better: Explanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
I went at 1pm on 22nd july and that was the appointment given. Not much hassles in getting to meet the doctor. But he was in total rush with the lunch box ready. When I was describing my problem of have bf sore throat and probable reasons I thought of it .. he said don't worry .! Nothing is there to be seen and just drew a sketch of tongue and tonsils and rushed out without even a prescription. Absolutely no patience to hear it out or look out. 3 days later, today (25th july), I've a really bad throat pain and see cream coloured infected patches on the sides of the tonsils.
When u go to people tree hospital to meet doctors like this, you need to pay 350-400 rupees up front to have a Darshan of the specific doctor. And the doctors can't even spare to spend 2 complete minutes with the patient.
Extremely pissed with such doctors!
