Hi , I have been to sakra for my uncle , as he got sudden stomach pain , which was not able to control with other doctors in our home town , as we had a very good opinion about sakra hospital because many incidents I have seen in my families, we blindy took him to sakra without taking any risk as his heart rate was irregular , then we took him to hospital at mid night 1 am , emergency team did all the preliminary test and then came the gastro team , we all were tensed because he had so much pain that he was unable to tolerate, then junior team diagnosed the problem within 5am , with the help of senior doctors , Sadiq sikora sir , Shruthi mam and sowmya kullar mam , they suddenly came to us and said it was mesenteric escemia and surgery need to be done immediately to save the rest of the intestines and gave a some time as it was multiple surgeries they already mentioned , then we said ok because we trusted sakra , then start the chapter it was a major surgery and multiple surgeries was done , but hats off to the team they saved him , they used to keep the regular updates and Sadiq sir used to call us every time he used to check him and keep us updated about his condition , it's been an year now but multiple times he was admitted because of other challenges thrown to doctors because of his small bowel and each time we rushed to hospital they received with same care and treated him , but when we go to OPD we used to wait for a long time , I have seen many patients blaming that we are waiting for long time and we are unable to talk to Sadiq sir , yes the same thing happened with us , because he is a surgeon and he used be present in OT when emergency is there , we have been in hospital for 3 months and have seen him daily , how busy he is with the emergency cases , somedays from morning to evening they will have surgeries , some are planned and some are unplanned , so we cannot expect to be on time from him like that , if you want to meet a good doctor , you need to have patience and thankyou for the team , christeena mam , deepthi mam , yashwant sir , ram sir , abhishek sir, sushma mam , madhu prashanth radiology, Sachin sir pulmonologist , Sreekanth Shetty sir cardiologist, koushalya sister , ward boys and total team of sisters in ICU and ward .

Its been almost 4 days and my father is surviving tremendous stomach pain without medication. By the way, painkiller is not a solution which he prescribed. Going to visit another doctor. I have always been appreciative to all Sakra doctors from so long (6 yr) but this was a bad exception .

My father had a surgery by him last Saturday and since only one attendent can be with the doctor, it's my mother whom he has interacted with. **** ******** ***** **** **** ************* *** ** ***** ** ******* **** ******** *** ***** ** *** ******** ** *** ******* I went to meet the doctors to clarify some queries regarding the complications and next steps.
As soon as I entered the room, the doctor started shouting at me without even listening to what I was going to tell. If he didn't want to meet me, his staff could have informed me the same or they should have had given him the context before I entered the room.
As patients we can pay 500 extra for politeness ** ******** ***** **** ***** *** **** **** ****** ********.
Not recommending anyone to this doctor or sakra in future.
My mother had complicated case of stones present in gall bladder, bile duct, confluence and other near by areas. I took consultation from Dr. Sadiq Shikora and he explained me what would be course of treatment. After meeting him I felt that I have right guidance and followed whatever he suggested me. My mother has recovered well post surgery. The best part that he handled this complicated case just with laparoscopy without doing any open surgery. I would suggest to consult him for any gastro related issues. Even Sakra hospital I found very good. Staff behavior and facilities were up to the mark even in this tough situation of Covid 19.
My Mom had a tumor in the Periampullary area. After a lot of recommendations from many Doctors (including Gastroenterologists in Medanta and in Tata Memorial), we finalized on Dr. Sadiq for Whipple's surgery.
Reading about the complexity of Whipple's on the net, was a horror story. We were just so worried about how the surgery will go through.
Dr. Sadiq performed operation for 8 hours, and frankly, my Mom, after the operation, was as good as anyone who has endured a complex 8 hour surgery, can possibly be.
Reading about the side effects of Whipple, were also driving us nuts (Pancreatic fistula, severe cramps, serious nausea etc.). It's been almost 3 weeks now since the surgery; thankfully my Mom till now has not had these symptoms.
In short, thanks Dr. Sadiq. Really!

Doctor lacks empathy. While there are so many patients waiting he is busy chatting with his other colleagues. Had been waiting for him for past 2 hour 30min and he doesn't seem to be in a hurry finishing his chit chat.
The nursing staff is too scared to ping him and check with him.
My last hope is that so much wait and effort is really worth his medical recommendation.
I really want to thank a tons to Dr Sadiq sikora for doing my gallbladder surgery , inspite of his festival Eid ,he came and operated me . It definitely shows his professionalism and commitment .
I would 100 percent recommend Dr Sadiq for his skills and expertise.
Does not have patience to listen to the patient, Very unfriendly and rude. I consulted Dr. Sadiq to take his opinion on my second pancreatic surgery, but the doctor refused to provide his opinion since I was operated by a different doctor first time. Lacks empathy *** ****************
