A Wonderful Paediatrician Who Truly Understands Children **
I have known Dr. Santosh N for close to 12 years now, and I can confidently say that he is one of the most wonderful paediatricians I have come across. His ********** experience and dedication are exceptional, but what truly sets him apart is the way he connects with children.
He has an incredible ability to make kids feel comfortable, safe and heard. His patience, gentle approach and genuine affection towards children are truly admirable. As a parent, it gives you immense peace of mind to know that your child is in the hands of someone who not only understands their medical needs but also understands them as little individuals.
Over the years, I have always found him to be approachable, caring and extremely reassuring. His calm manner and thoughtful guidance make even stressful situations much easier for parents to handle.
After knowing him for nearly 12 years, I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Santosh N to any parent looking for a paediatrician they can genuinely trust. He is not just an excellent doctor, but someone who truly cares about the children he treats.

Visited For Children's Health
Visited the clinic in btm for my kid's diarrhea. He prescribed minimal medicine which is good. But since the diarrhea worsened by next day, visited him in appolo cradle next day. As new parents we were panicked by the severe diarrhea for a 6 months baby. When conveyed it to doctor, instead of giving assurance doctor shouted at me saying how can you expect it to control in 1 day. May be he is right but as a new mother I was worried and that was not the response I expected. As a doctor he should tell if the kid is fine , instead he was asking wether to admit her or not. If situation is worse, suggest to admit else please give proper guidance so that the parents take care at home. Finally kid was admitted for one day and the diarrhea was half controlled. Next day rounds doctor comes n says I'll observe her for one more day though the kid was much better n could be taken care at home. After saying will take care at home, he says to discharge. Parents rely on doctor review completely and will be tensed when the kids are sick. Please don't admit them unless actually required. Also doctor asked to avoid sugar in food but suggested to feed nestum rice which has sugars in it. But he prescribed minimal medicine n let the child recover which is good.

Dr Santosh is not only friendly, modest and courteous by nature *** ** **** ************** He is very sensitive while handling my son. Unnecessary tests and/or medication is not advised by him. Also he is easily available to answer our queries via email. He always reverts to email queries at the earliest. Also if we walk in to his clinic he does take time to consult us and not send us back stating that we came in without appointment. He is patient in listening to our queries and responds to our concerns to our satisfaction. One of the key qualities of Dr Santosh is he examines the babies on his own and doesn't have staff to examine. By this, a parent is sure that baby is in safe hands.
For all these reasons I consult Dr Santosh eventhough I have to travel from whitefield to BTM every month.
We have been consulting him since 7 years a doctor who keenly diagnoses listens to his patients patiently and prescribes the right medicines , he is well updated so understands the new medical innovations and it waa he who put in his full efforts to treat my children affected by dengue my son again got dengue last year and second time is dangerous but we were in his safe hands he will visit his hospital patients late night, on weekends. I also goto sagar just because he is there, very friendly and kind.
