********* ******* *** ** *** ****** ** **** **** ** *** ****** I visited Dr Saurabh for my 45 days Babies vaccination. Frankly I was very skeptical about changing doctor, However, after lot of research I did take the step to visit the doctor. Once there I was still having second thoughts about my decision. Once I went inside, I started explaining my babies conditions to the doctor. I was surprised to see how patient the doctor was to listening to even the silliest of doubts I have as a new mom. Dr was clear in making me understand each and every questions I had with examples. He is not doing this has a job. This Dr really loves children and does it for the love for children and really understand the emotional and physical stress we go through as new parents. He was even proactively suggested a few things which I should inculcate in my daily baby care. I was used to many doctors who just wants to answer your question and get rid of you. Here, He gave us ample time to think and ask any doubts we had. He was happy to help us and also asked us to reach out to him anytime if there is an emergency. I was happy to receive a book written by him. He is very caring and friendly.

Hi Doctor, Today evening I visited your clinic to take the appointment for my son Arjun (1.8 years) who was suffering from severe fever. but the receptionist lady denied to give the appointment and told she can't take it without child presence I requested her to take the appointment and told will bring the child meanwhile which she did not agree ( I feel she could have taken the appointment at least since the child was suffering with severe fever )Without any choice, I had to go for another doctor thanks Santhosh

Visited For Stomach Infection
Doctor was patient, listened to every word we said. He spoke to the child to ensure the child gains confidence and trusts him. He asked the child questions when he was examining him. After the examination and the symptoms study he said it was stomach infection and prescribed medicines.
Doctor also prescribed a diet chart for the period while the child is on medication and helped us with extra information on roughage when we mentioned on irregular bowel movement of the child.
Overall the experience is very pleasant and good
Visited For Pediatric Scoliosis
Dr Saurabh is a fine hand for our infant. He does not miss following his perquisites protocal of checking weight & breathing. Gives a patience ear to the problem and asks questions to understand the right practice to cure. Friendly and does not panics the patents. His prescriptions has always helped in curing in below expected time! We are happy and strongly recommend to parents. For those who only believe in approaching renowned hospitals, i should tel you he is also visiting faculty to wockhardt hospital! :)
Doctor saurabh prescribes very high dosage medicines which is not recommended for the babies. My 4 month old baby had slight fever and he prescribed Imol syrup.Also he prescribed some cough and cold syrups . After giving these meds my baby slept for almost the whole day. When i had my doubts i contacted my family physician and he told me Imol medicine should not be given to babies below 1 year. It is strictly not recommended. Also i consulted a renowned paedriatric and even she told me the same thing. It was rather a very shocking thing and i still feel very guilty for giving my such a tiny newborn baby such high doses of meds. Even the composition of medicines that he prescribes is very high as compared to any other paedriatic like 3 ml in one go for a vomit syrup 3 times a day. Which makes it 9 ml a day while other docs never go beyond the limit of 1ml max . Please be careful folks.

who says to his patients that go and see other doctor,***** *** *** ** ****** *** **** *** **** ** **** **** ******** ** *** *** **** * ******* he is not given a second thought of my 5 year old child before saying this.Yes, there are many doctors who knows their duties towards their patients not like you who would cancel the appointment if a patient 1 minute late or if you have seen your daily 25 count then you will not see. no matter how much emergency it is.
