Visited For Fracture Treatment
Happy with:Â Treatment satisfaction
My brother(sachin rao) had a MAJOR fracture on his left hand(wrist).Mr.shankar sir explained us the problem briefly and treated my brother EXCELLENTLY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH DR.SHANKAR FROM OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.... đ
Hoped for better:Â Wait time
The ' Fracture and Orthopaedic 'clinic did not keep up time. I made a booking for 5:30 PM and when I went there, they said it would take 1-1.5 hours to get a consultation with the doctor. I was disappointed and I left as not everyone always got time to wait. I can understand delays of 15-30 minutes when advanced booking is made, beyond that- they should have informed earlier.
I visited the doctor for my shoulder pain.I have notseen such an impatient doctor who does not want to listen to the patient,he did not even examine but instead asked to take some pain killer.We were really hurt.I would not recommend this doctor to any one.
