I have consulted Doctor Vandana for my mother's lungs infection. Doctor listened to the problem and suggested a test for my mother to identify the problem and then suggested a medication. The overall experience was awesome.

I went to Dr. Vandana after being referred to by Dr Karishma from Apollo. Her treatment didn't help me at all. She wasted my time *** *** *** **** ** ****** *** *** ******* * *** ********* ****. After giving me 2 week long antibiotics and inhalers when symptoms came back she referred me back to Dr Karishma and she in return asked me to do a CT Scan. When the CT scan report also came clear she started suggesting that I go to a gastroenterologist to see if my cough is related to acid reflux or get a food allergy test done if the cough is persistent because of a food item. *** ******* ** ****** ** *** **** **** **** *** ******** * ******* *** *** **** **** ********* ** ******** ******** * *** * ******** **********
During initial investigation she found that it must be referred to cardiologist but she asked to take hrtc scan Rs 4500 she left the clinic by 12 and asked us to mail the softcopy of report. The procedure was so send reports to receptionist and then she would send it to doctor. We waited for 6 hours for responce. ** *** *** *** *** *** **** *** ********** *** *** *** ***** *** ********* ** *** **** *** ***** ** ** ** ***** *** ** ******** ******* *** ******* ****** ** ******** ******* More wait time *** ***** *** *** **** ** *** ****** *** *** **** ********** Saddend and stressful because of this.

The doctor seemed to be in a hurry to go somewhere and she wouldn't let me complete the answer to any of her questions; she kept on interrupting me constantly in the middle of my response to one of her questions only. She cast a suspicious eye on the treatment that I am undergoing for another ailment ******** ********* ** *** *********** and suggested that I change my doctor and see Dr. XYZ at Apollo clinic instead. She did not explain what the problem was and just advised a plethora of tests to be done. In fact, she prescribed tests worth almost Rs 4,500, without any explanation about what she suspected regarding your cousins.

Doctor is not at all interested in patient. At one moment I had to literally bag to tell my observations in last one month. She bluntly ignored and was pushing to use inhaler. * **** ******* *** ****** **** ***** ** ****** **** *** ***** ***** *** ******** She might be correct to suggest inhaler but she definitely isn’t kind of person with whom you can share you problem.
Very disappointed

Dr Vandana , she is very experienced, by looking at the condition of my kid she responded quickly , and suggested technician to provid X-ray immediately and provided preliminary treatment as breathing levels are high and oxigen intake was less because of which my kid was taking more no of breaths and getting pain at chest. I would recommend her for any pulmonary problems

Happy with:Â Explanation of the health issue
I had a good experience with doctor. She prescribed me quite a few health tests, which might look un necessary to few people at the beginning but it actually helped to diagnose my health problem. So I was really happy at the end. Atleast now I know what kind of allergy and health issue I am suffering from, so moving ahead I can take care of myself.
