Doctor was very patient and heard the symptoms. He did a thorough examination and upon not finding any direct cause, suggested an ultrasound neck to rule out some possibilities. The medicines prescribed were provided at the clinic itself with payment.

I found him on Practo. I went along with my mother to get her checked for the cough and fever that had been persisting for 4 days. After examining, the doctor said he is worried that it could be serious case of Bronchitis. He prescribed some medicines (Augmentin 625 mg, Allegra) and insisted that she takes a session of nebulisation immediately at his clinic (even though my mother told him that she doesn't have difficulty breathing). He prescribed blood tests (to be done in his lab immediately), a chest x-ray at a nearby nursing home and hospital admission (incase condition worries overnight, where he specified two nursing home nearby where he consults).
While we didn't 'feel' right about his advise, but it was his insistence that we get things at at his clinic/lab that really had us peeved. I told him that we do not wish to take nebulization now and would like to get the tests done outside. He did not take it well and and asked me if I was going to decide why have I come to him? I stood-up quietly and proceeded to walk out along with my mother (of course after paying Rs 500/- in his fees to his assistant!).
The doctor runs his own laboratory and pharmacy along with the clinic. ***** ** ** *********** * **** * ****** ** ** ******* ***** *** ******* ********* *** ******* I subsequently enquired about him in the neighbourhood (including at pharmacies) to understand if this was an isolated incident and/or a case of misunderstanding (on our part). I have heard similar reviews/experiences as my own.
I am sure of not going back again to him ever again. I would strongly urge the readers to find a doctor who would be more eager to listen and advise a treatment that is in the interest of the patient (and not the doctor)!

I do not recommend this doctor, I am writing this review out of my experience with this doctor three times ! The first time I went to him, was for a regular flu, he prescribed some medications and asked me to do some blood tests which the staff insisted to do in their lab, and also buy medicines in their medical store. After the test results came, it was all normal and he asked me to continue the same medicines he prescribed.The second time I went, it was for food poisoning, he again asked me to get some blood tests done, in his own lab *** *** ****** ** ********** **** **** *** I had to take a second opinion and then I felt better.Now the third time I went to him, was again for a flu, **** **** * ******** **** ** ****** **** * ***** ** ****** **** ** *** ***** ***** ***** ** ********* **** ** **** *** ************ **** **** blood tests and then with medicines from his own medical supply! And noticed one more thing, I referred all 3 previous medical prescriptions, he prescribes medicines for 10days on an average, *** ** *** **** **** ** *********** **** ********** DO NOT GO TO HIM!

While the fact is, I went with all the necessary reports , on the contrary he did not have time to check it.

The doctor insists that tests should be done in his lab only. His lab is ill equipped and is not reliable. The HbA1C test done in his lab reported wrong results which we noticed because we did a second test same day with another reputed lab. He treated my 85 year old mother with the wrong results from his lab report *** ********** ***** ******** ***** ***** ** ************ *** *** ***** **** ** *** *** ***** ******** ** ****** ***** **** *** ******* ******** ******* ** ***** I will not recommend this doctor or his lab, to anyone ******* **** **********

As I reach the hospital I was very tired and was unable to sit for long time. The hospital staff did a great job by letting me in on request. But the doctor was not willing listen my status and was scared about me spreading the virus to him. The sad part is even though I went with heavy fevar, the doctor did not even test my temperature. Overall experience was not satisfactory, and moving on to a different hospital.

I do not recommend this doctor at all. Not only is he unprofessional, *** **** ***** *************** ***** ** ***** ** ***** ** *** **** *** ****** ********** *** ********** ***** *** ***** ***** He was extremely rude and harsh about his diagnosis. He was also so much in a hurry to complete his patients that he did not bother to give enough time. He clearly stated an acute illness over a 30 seconds diagnosis, without any tests being done or past history being verified. On questioning, he also said he does not care what we think and was nothing but snobbish and arrogant ***** *** **** **** ** *** **** ** **** ********** *** * **** ***** I would highly recommend the readers to never visit him for any medical issues.
