My father is a doctor retired teacher from Patna Medical college hospital and whenever he is with us here , he takes medical services from Dr. Shashidhar for his cardiac problems and in his assessment Dr. Shashidhar is a very good doctor who applies his brain for patient and adheres to established medical protocols for treating patient. 6 months ago in July 2023, my mother suffered cardiac failure and we rushed her to fortis emergency and correct decisions of implanting CRTP device was promptly taken by Dr. Shashidhar which saved her life. Many others in among our relative and friends are benefitting from his treatment and advise.
I am very thankful to Dr SHASHIDHAR from Fortis hospital who has done a very good treatment for me and i have recovered well with no problems. He is very polite and very cool in nature with the way of talking to the patients. When i got the problem, i have shown in some hospitals, but they have not given guarantee and they have told 50-50 chances. Then i approached Dr Srinivasan who recommended Dr Shashidhar to to approach. Then i met Dr Shashidhar, who told that Fortis is having excellent technology and will give 100% life. So i got one solution and become happy.

We went to Fortis hospital at bannergatta road to Dr.Shashidar.. After a long wait finally we visited him..He heard all the concerns and health issues my mom had.. she just had high blood pressure and slight back pain.. which could have being treated giving proper medications..and some relevant tests..but he immediately told us, she should get hospitalized..and that too..she was sent to the CCU..what all tests they could have performed on her, they did and handed over a huge bill for RS.30000..and still what the doctor didn't have any answer to our questions..** ****** **** *** *** ***** ******** ******* ** ** **** ** *** *** *** ******* *** **** ****** ** *** ***** **** *** **** ********he didn't even come to visit us before discharge ** ** **** ** ****** **** *** *********** ** ********* ** ***** **** ***********I will never recommend Dr.Shashidar nor Fortis hospital..you will have the most bad experience if you are admitted in the ICU or CCU..

I had an appointment at 11 with Dr Shashidhar and came to hospital on time. They said doctor has gone somewhere and asked me to come at 130. I came at 130 sharp and doctor started seeing my records at 215 and in between went to a lab and didn't turn up even until 245. I feel this is ririculous inspite of having prime appointment and paying 750 for a consultation. it should be managed well fr hospital side.
