Visited For Cancer Treatment
Happy with: Explanation of the health issue
I visited Dr Shekar based on the reviews he got on Practo for second expert opinion on Lymphoma treatment for Dad . He gave his frank opinion on the case.He gave the confidence of treating it in just 6 months after seeing the existing reports.He said it’s going to be 60-70K per one chemo and for 6 months. While the hospital is quite transparent about its costing , there was no specific offer for BPL/APL Carr holders. As the treatment was supposed to be once in 3 weeks , we thought it’s going to be bit more expensive than Manipal hospital, Manipal where we have to go through 6 chemos for 6 months for around 3 lac excluding hospital stay expenditure. Though we were not fortunate enough to get treatment, it’s one of the hospitals you can definitely visit for cancer related treatments. Hospital is clean and neatly maintained. There is a positive vibe with temple like environment. I would like to recommend this hospital.Hope this helps.

My mother took treatment for breast cancer for around 1 year 9 months, under Dr. Shekar Patil and unfortunately she is not with us today, and hence I want to help others to choose their oncologist wisely. Over the period, there have been multiple incidents which raised doubts on either the team's interest in the case or their expertise.**** ******** * **** ** *** ****** *** *** *** **** ********** *** *** **** ******** ** ** ****** **** ** **** *** **** **** ********* ** **** **** ******** ****** *** ***** **** ************ and doesn't have time to explain and discuss ** **** *** ***** ******* ** ***** *** ********* **** ** *** ***** ***** Hence, I would recommend you to choose the oncologist who has at least time to talk to you and who can give attention to your case. ********* ** **** ** ****** ** *** * ****** ****** ***** ** ****** *** ********* *** **** ** *** ******* *** *** ***** ** *** **** **** *** *** ********* Based on my experience, in hindsight, I would recommend ******** *** ***** *** *** to remain far away from Dr. Shekar ** ******* ******** *******
