I visited Dr. Venkatesh Babu for an ADHD consultation after already having an ADHD diagnosis. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing.
The consultation felt extremely rushed. I didn't feel my concerns, symptoms, medical history, previous treatments, or current health were explored in enough detail before medication was prescribed. ** **** **** *** ***** *** ** ******* * ************ ****** **** ************* ** ** * ********
In my opinion, psychiatric medication should be prescribed only after taking the time to understand the patient's overall health, history, symptoms, and individual circumstances. ******** *** ************ **** **** ***** **** **** * ****** ****** *** ********** ****** **** * ******** ****** ****** **********.
My follow-up appointment was also very brief and mainly involved receiving another prescription while being charged another consultation fee. When I raised concerns about my experience, I felt dismissed instead of having my questions addressed.
A mental health consultation should involve listening, asking relevant questions, explaining the treatment plan, discussing potential side effects, and making the patient feel heard and involved in decisions. Unfortunately, that was not my experience.
I hope this feedback encourages improvements in patient communication and consultation quality so future patients receive the time, attention, and care they deserve.
The doctor did not clearly address the problem areas with targeted solutions. I felt the fees were unclear and quite high. Overall, I would not recommend Dr. Venkatesh Babu G M.
Dr. Venkatesh Babu G M is an excellent doctor with a caring and professional approach. He listened patiently and explained the treatment clearly, making the consultation smooth and comfortable. I am very satisfied with his care and would highly recommend him.

* *** * ******** ********** **** **** ******* They offered packages: 30 minutes for ₹1200, 45 minutes for ₹1800, and 1 hour for ₹2200. I chose the 30-minute session but was warned that even a minute extra would cost ₹1800. When I met the doctor, he referred me to another doctor in just 30 seconds and ended the session. I was still forced to pay ₹1200. I also spent ₹800 on a cab from Electronic City to HSR, making it ₹2000 spent for nothing. This was very disappointing and not a good experience. I wouldn’t recommend this clinic to anyone.
Visited For Sleep Disorder Treatment

I was suffering from sleep disorder from past 10 years. I used to be lethargic ,heavy headache ,sleepy whole day. I visited many doctors but my problem was never solved. I visited Dr Venkatesh and he carefully listened all my problem and the past treatments I took.
Doctor identified my problem as Sleep Misperception and suggested few behavioral and life style changes. It made wonders with my sleep. I feel very fresh , energetic and no headaches.
I am very very grateful to Doctor for saving my life as I was suffering with the problem from past 10 years.
A Big thank you Doctor.

The doctor cancelled the appointment at the last minute. My appt was at 4pm on 17th nov, i got a call at 3.58 pm that the doctor is not "well" and cant attend you. I had travelled for almost 20kms and then had to come back all the way, wasted 3 hours, effort and money in the process. When i complained to the fortis rep, the doctor called me and instead of apologizing for his unprofessional behavior started shouting and foul mouthing me. If he was unwell he should have intimated an hour earlier. And instead of regret, there was sheer arrogance and ill treatment of a patient. Doctors like these spoil the reputation of the entire medical fraternity. And this was his behavior when i had spoken to him in advance a couple of days ago. Would recommend people to avoid this doctor.

I have been working with Dr Venkatesh for a few years now. He is very transparent in explaining my issues. No sugarcoating and treats me like an adult. I found that refreshing as my experiences with other doctors was more focused on talking and less on problem solving
