Visited For Vocal Cord Nodules Surgery
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
Dr. Santosh is a very sweet and helpful doctor. He did my surgery with utmost care and I couldn't be more happy. My vocal cords healed pretty well and I'm now in therapy. Thank you *
He is calm, collected and to the point. The only drawback is he is not available before 8 and sometimes not at all.

Visited For Sinus / Sinusitis Treatment
Very poor experience with Dr. Santosh.
1. Wait time of more than 45 minutes because he decided to go on rounds even though he had several appointments at the same time. Complete disrespect and disregard for patients schedule and time. Did not bother to apologize
** ******** ********** Spent just 2 minutes evaluating my complaint. Prescribed * **** ** medicines, half of which are questionable (including 2 different painkillers every night). ***** ** ******* ******** ******* *** ****** **************
3. No diagnosis or explanation of medicines offered. After spending 800 rupees, and waiting 45 min, least I expected was a decent diagnosis. But no, he seems to be in a hurry to get done and shows signs of arrogance if any questions are asked. He responds with 1 word answers ** ****** *** ********* ****** ********* ***** *** ***** ***** *** ******* **** ** ***** ** *** ****** Patients are far more aware and need clarity on diagnosis and prescription. None was offered in this case.
First of all i would like to mention administration is bad in this hospital. Make sure you check the consultation fee before going. For me it was charged more than showing in practo and when enquired they said some different stories.
Secondly after seeing the reviews we choose this doctor and for the gods sake he didn't listened and over all consultation would be less than a minute and he gave high dosage medication and we took it as per prescription and didnt cure. We ended up visiting other doctor in our locality *** ******** ******* **********
I personally advice check carefully and make your appointment.
