He goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure you understand the risk factors, so you do not have any future health risks. I certainly found him to be very professional and truly caring about Patients.
I strongly recommend Dr. Satish Babu to everyone facing issues with Endocrinology/Diabetics.

I was met with an accident and my right foot had multiple fractures. After surgery now I'm fine and I'm able to walk. So doctor advised me how to be careful with this leg in future. I was taking insulin twice a day. But now doctor has stopped insulin for me and has prescribed only tablets. I'm very happy to say that after taking this tablets, my sugar level is normal. It has come down from 400 to 140. Thank you very much Doctor. Now I'm referring others also to meet this Doctor to get well soon.

Decent online booking although it needs improving . For example you cannot book more than one appointment using the same mobile and it's also hard to know if there are any free appointments next to the one chosen for other members for the family . But he found dr babu extremely nice, professional, to the point and very very practical. The last point is important in lifestyle disease such as diabetes. His explanations were neither too long to be confusing nor too short to be of any practical value..they were just right. Just goes to show his experience and many other qualities as a doctor. Highly recommend.

We have been consulting Dr Satish Babu since more than an year now for my parent's diabetes management.
Other than the wait, which already multiple patients have mentioned cos it's usually about an hour with the appointment and definitely could be better managed, what triggered me to write the review is his unprofessional and rude behavior! And this is not even the first time.
To my aged parents and me alike, his behavior has been rude!
Instead of understanding that the patients come to him with utmost respect to get treated, and might be in stress when they ask questions or might know better, instead of explaining or correcting them calmly **** *** ***** ******* * **** ********* **** **** ****, he takes offense immediately for their concerns or statements and sarcastically says thing like " - you know everything, why do you need doctors, you can only treat patients or teach doctors. Take this medicine if you want as you think you know better* **** **** ***** ************ ** ********* ** ****** ** ******* ** **************** *** **** ******* ***** ******* ** ***** ****** **** ****. **** ***** **** **** ********** **** ***** **** ******** ****** ** *** ****** ** ******* **** ** ** *** *** ****** ****** **** ******** *** ************** **** *** *********** ******** *** * ****** ******* ** **** * ******* **** ******* ** ******* *********** It affected me a lot and spoilt the entire day. It must have affected him as well but hopefully not his next consultations for the patients sake.
Surprising and shocking to see such behavior on a regular basis from an experienced doctor
Will not go to him again though he came highly recommended to me. Finding another doctor!

My wife is pregnant and as suggested by the treating doctor we visited Sathish Babu to take an expert opinion on whether to increase thyroid dosage . We had to wait for 45mins and after we went inside appointment hardly lasted for 2 mins. The doctor was on a phone call and he had no time to look into the report. When we started explaining to him about the thyroid variations, before we could complete, he stopped us and told us to take higher dosage of tablet. When we tried to clarify our concern he was very rude and told us that he is the expert in this field and it is up to us to take the tablet or not. He was very arrogant and unprofessional in his approach and was lacking patience. The doctor should value the time and concerns of patience, the doctor lacks professionalism. It is very surprising to see the doctor displaying such attitude towards patients *** *** ******** ******** ********** ****** ** ****** **** ***** ******** ***********

Visit No.1
The first time I went, I had to wait almost an hour after my appointment to see the doctor.
During my appointment, the doctor recommended various tests that needed to be completed.
Visit No. 2
I was charged another consultation fee for showing the blood report (this was not expected).
The doctor prescribed medication for two months based on my report.
The third and last visit (after 2 months)
I had a 3 p.m. appointment scheduled.
On the same day, at 12:45 p.m., hospital staff phones me to tell me to come to the hospital at 2:00 p.m., indicating that the doctor has an emergency and will not be available after 3:00 p.m.I gently informed them that I would be unable to alter my arrangements at such a short notice. The hospital staff informed me that I needed to arrive at 3:00 p.m. or my appointment would be cancelled and I would receive a refund. Regardless, I arrived at the hospital around 3:00 p.m. I was told that I would have to wait another 30 minutes because there were so many people in line (not sure why I was asked to reach at sharp 3:00 PM). Finally, I visited with the doctor, who merely instructed me to stop taking my prescription and didn't have time to discuss or advise me on anything else. He was obnoxious and only wanted to get the appointment over with.
Conclusion
Poor leadership.The doctor's rudeness and bad attitude (never expected). ******* ** ****** *** *** ***** ** ******* ** ** * ************ ******** Not recommended.

Recommended, Doctor makes you understand the digonosis and patiently describes u too. Morever he told me not to go for random test but gave me few medicines and asked me to teport after 30 days and based on my feedback, he will recommend test, if required.
The doctor was quite Experienced and was patient enough to listen to all what we had to tell him about the ailment. He was able to diagnose the cause immediately and prescribed the medicine. He did not recommend any unwanted tests and was fine with the test result which was done by different pathology lab

The doctor is really good. Patient and listens to everything the patient needs clarified. However, the appointment starts at the fancy of the secretary who doesn't follow order. There is no respect for patients or patients attenders time. Would prefer seeing the doctor at another location than here. Multiple visits with no appointment starting even close to original appointment time.
