It was a 3 pm appointment however we had to wait for 30 mins to get to the first doctor. it was told that first we need to visit a junior doctor before going to Dr. Srinivasan and we will surely meet him.After waiting for more than 55 mins we get to meet the first doctor and he suggests an x-ray as expected. and tells us that you can meet Srinivasan with the x-ray. I mentioned that the pain is not for bones and x-ray is only for bones... he said it's better to take one. As to no choice we went ahead for x-ray (cost: 700/-), once report is available wait for another half an hour to meet the real doctor.This is my second meet and as usual Dr Srinivasan suggested 2 exercises and satisfied with his reasons... he mentioned no problems found in x-ray however we found a black dot just below the bones he said that's nothing so we are not sure what it is. may be we will go for second opinion.To meet this doctor it is 600/-.so overall we paid 1350/- including registration 50/- which is valid for 5 years.

It was good experience. He has one trainee or assistant in his consulting room so its really helpful having one of them.
1st time i came with online appointment. Meeting with Dr. Srinivas Sir was very encouraging even though he don't talk much.
Treatment center is very well maintained and they have very welcoming team at helpdesk/reception.
Thank You

Doctor is very simple, guides properly, very polite and cordial to the patient.
He clearly explains the problem and solution in a convincing way. He does't and unnecessarily recommend for any medication more than anything he is very much time conscious that's all now as i am still under his treatment. I can give my full experience with this doctor after completion of the treatment .
thank you,

Quite disappointed with Dr. Srinivasan; I will not be recommending him to my family or friends. After spending nearly Rs.2000 for basic x-rays & consultation, he deemed my one-year chronic pain to be "noises about small things". If I was just wanted to make "noise" about nothing, would I have waited one year to see an orthopedist? This, despite being told that during the past year, I'd routinely done back-strengthening exercises to tackle the pain. To his credit, he did not throw medication at the problem and instead prescribed exercises, which I really appreciated. But to have a patient do expensive diagnostic tests at his clinic only to then baldly suggest it was just "noises" is such bad form. Don't get me wrong, I'm very glad to hear there's nothing structurally wrong with my back. I just don't appreciate him saying my legitimate concern about ONE-YEAR chronic pain and finally, finally 'indulging' in getting expert opinion is essentially an overreaction. And when we gave him a chance to elaborate, he said he has lost 40% bone in his neck and lower back. I was very sorry hear that but because my back and neck aren't as bad as his, are all patients who're not suffering like him supposed to wait until their situation is that dire? What an illogical, non-objective, emotional excuse for an MD doctor to invoke!
One other thing I noticed that even my husband remarked on as well: he asked me list my symptoms but each time I mentioned pain, he kept looking at my husband. As if to test the veracity of my claim, I guess? I've read that doctors all over the world dismiss women's health concerns --there are actual studies about this-- and to realize this doctor was perhaps doing the very same is sickening. I wish I'd just gone a physiotherapist.
About the clinic: appointment time was not honored and the x-ray technician was super rude; he was behaving like he was doing us a favor. Considering it was nearly Rs.500 for each x-ray, you'd think they'd chip in for a well-mannered radiologist.

Went with a severe muscle/nerve related shoulder & mid-back pain. Dr. Srinivas looked at the scans & immediately (in a derogatory manner) dismissed all questions stating that I should just go home & be normal & that this is nothing compared to all the severe cases that he's seen (that involve multiple fractures to severe surgeries).
He even quoted examples of severe cases that he's faced/operated on- all the while speaking in an extremely condescending tone.
Agreed, that my case need not have been as severe as the ones that he's seen. But I did have a problem, with a shooting pain in my shoulder which was WHY I decided to visit him (considering I've heard rave reviews).
So that was ₹1350 spent that day, having walked out WITHOUT even a prescription at hand for the pain for any medications or for any exercises even that I could do to reduce the pain.
Turns out that if you have a muscle strain/injury, the shooting pain doesn't count, and we should all just go home and be normal.
Please do not visit him ** *** ***** **** ******* ** ******** ***** ** * ***********

Very pleasant experience.
I was operated by the same doctor 12 years ago for both knee replacement surgery. After visiting few doctors , I decided to take his opinion and the advise was extremely good.
For those who felt bad experience is, please note that he talks to the point . Remember his talk is pure professional talk with loaded experience of 40 years!
His assistant, Dr. Sayyed was also good.
Please note that I came all the way from Kundapura and certainly the visit was worth.
Visited For Ligament Reconstruction
It was great.The overall experience was good, i didnt have to wait for long time to see the doctor. I was examined by a junior doctor before seeing Dr. Srinivasan. I have to go through a ligament reconstruction I understand Dr. Srinivasan will not be doing the surgery that is the only thing i am a little apprehensive about. Otherwise it was an excellent experience, they dont charge you if you are visiting to show the reports which i found it different from my other experience.
Visited For Knee Pain
Very bad experience! According to this doctor, either you are on your death bed and if not, you are perfectly alright! Either your leg is broken beyond repair and if not, you are perfectly healthy. No middle ground.
**** ** **** ** *********** ****** Had to depend on a "written mri report" - couldn't interpret the MRI scan purely by observation.

Dr Srinivas is a renowned doctor, but I guess he should probe the customer more and understand what the customer has to say, my meeting with the doc didn't even last 5-6 mins approximately.... Out of 4 problems, three were dismissed and treatment suggested for only one.... I appreciate one fact that he did not prescribe me to get unrequired X Ray's/ Scans done..... My first visit was a 50-50 experience....
