Visited For Vertigo
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
My family and I have been visiting Dr Hemkumar since he was in Sakra. We now reach out to him on DocOn app or Kauvery/Jeevika hospital. He is always friendly and explains the problem in detail. During covid, we even have one of our relatives consult him through virtual call and he spotted something in X-ray photo (not even actual X-ray) for which a follow-up check up was suggested. It ended up being dormant TB which was timely treated.
For me, personally, he helped diagnose a rare migraine triggered Vertigo, with which I was struggling for more than 2 months.
Visited For Persistent Cough

'Apart from persistent cough with mucus, phlegm, wheezing, breathing problems, I had developed groin swelling which was painful'.
Dr. Hemkumar knows the #1 cause of the medical problem from the first time counselling session itself, which shows his vast experience across various medical fields. He prescribes medicines and any scans (if required) that are actually exactly directed to the medical problem. I have been hospitalized as was required due to 26000+ wbc count found through cbc test. As well, groin infection required specialized treatment so he very rightly referred my case to Urology department where I was rightly treated. I recovered in just 3days. Dr. Hemkumar knows where should a patient be referred. Dr. Hemkumar frequently met me in ward throughout the entire time period from when I was hospitalized up until I was discharged. He is very friendly, gives good personal touch advices, and overall nice human being very compassionate and empathetic. He even adviced me on the claim process of company based insurance. As Dr. Hemkumar ensures that only required specialized treatment is referred, exact medicines are prescribed, etc. so final bill is also very less than expected. In a nutshell, very respected doctor among his fraternity and always keeps things very simple and happy/jolly for the patient. I recommend Dr. Hemkumar as the go-to doctor for first counseling session or even at any stage of treatment. **** ***** ******** ** *** **** **** ******** ***********

Without any discussion or explanation simply writing some medicines on paper and getting busy on phone each time you yourself eagerly ask something doesn't help the patients. Medicines never helped either
Rs. 900 for 2 minutes without proper analysis and attention and random medicines including antibiotics doesn't help the patient, which seemingly is just based on symptoms told and not even proper examination done.
Sakra and this doctor is big NO for me next time .

Doctor wise no problem but Jeevika hospital doesn't have any facility to book appointment on call or online it is only go book and wait.
We reached with my Old age Father suffering from Heavy cough at 5:20PM and finally could see doctor at 8PM after long wait. Which was really frustrating and tiring for my father to sit for almost 3 hours.
Only because of doctor we had to wait.

I have been visiting Dr. Hemkumar for the last 4-5 years. He listens patiently, examines thoroughly and prescribes only what is needed - does not prescribe unnecessary medications. I have been recommending Dr Hemkumar to my friends and they are also satisfied with his treatment. I recommend him highly.

I think he was not listening to me when I was explaining my health issues. He was busy checking his emails & his mobile. He didn't even look at my face. May be he is more confident cause my health issue is a common and simple one for him. But for me it is a worry.
