Dr. Vinay Patil

We visited for our 4yr old daughters eye infection. Happy with the consultation, the doctor was friendly with the kid.

I had waited way too long to have my mother-in-law's cataracts removed and her eyes were not in good shape. The best decision I made was to schedule an appointment with Dr. Vinay Patil at Sankalp Nethralaya. Every minute of our experience with Dr. Patil, his staff and the staff at the Surgical Center was perfect without exception. Dr. Vinay Patil eased our decision to have the surgery by carefully explaining all details of the procedure with my mother in law and making her realize she should have come to him years ago. Every detail of the surgery on each of her eyes was expertly explained and staff at the Surgical Center could not have been more pleasant, friendly *** ************** The offices/center are clean, inviting, and comfortable. Kudos all around. she now can really "see" again. If you need cataract surgery, the longer you wait, you accept a world without clarity and color. I recommend Dr. Vinay Patil, Sankalp Nethralaya and its Surgical Center with total confidence that you will not be disappointed in choosing to have Dr. Vinay Patil do your surgery.

I had a 10:20 AM appointment and arrived five minutes early. The doctor showed up only at 10:40 AM, with no explanation provided despite my inquiries. I had clearly mentioned I had another appointment at 11. **** ***** *** **** ** ************* **** **************. Not recommended for those who value punctuality, though may suit those with flexible schedules.

Overall a poor experience due to multiple reasons:

- Appointment did not start on time (which used to be ok a few years back, but with Practo's scheduling you expect lesser wait times). Assistant did a checkup after 30 minutes of wait, and then had to wait another 30 minutes to meet the doctor. So net 1 hour delay to meet the doctor.

- Not too confident on the power checked by the assistant, normal checkups at Titan Eye Plus and Lenskart had both showed no change in power (exact match) whereas here both the eyes something had changed. Now it might be that both of those guys were wrong, but I would rather get a check again to be certain.

- Doctor did not check the power for himself. Not sure if that is the norm these days, but at least till a year back the doctor always rechecked the power.

- Doctor appeared pretty casual about everything, like nothing seems to matter. Probably tired too. He wanted me to come again for a proper checkup since the eye drops would take 30 minutes to show effect. After waiting from 7:30 to 8:30 doing nothing, I am told that it will take another 30 minutes for the eye drop to take effect. Do I have to state the obvious that this could have been done much earlier? And I was willing to wait but doctor was little less interested so I decided to give it a pass.

- Overall, will have to go for a second checkup. Might come out to be the same new power as suggested, but the experience did not inspire enough confident to go by it.

I had swelling & burning for which I visited Dr Vinay Patil. The doctor diagnosed it as a sty, recommended drops, cream and antibiotics and I was in and out in about 20 - 25 secs. I had a some questions for the medication which he said the nurse outside will answer.

At the counter outside the medicines even without me asking for it were handed over with a bill of Rs 530.

In this very short span of time, the doctor without touching or inspecting my spectacles said they are bad quality and to get it changed. The clinic also had a spectacles store.

All in all a very bad experience, and I highly recommend people to avoid Dr Vinay Patil *** ******* ** ** *** ***** ****** ** ** ** *** ********** *** **** ** **) *** *** ****** ****** ***** **** **** ***** ** *** ** **** ***** *** **** *********

Also what really helped me with the sty was warm compress which neither the doctor recommended nor allowed me to ask any questions once he prescribed the medicines.

Visited for my wife. We have been asked to take glasses for no site. When asked reason, we have told it is good. When asked what is the reason, been told it is your wish.

2. I told, I will buy medicines outside the clinic as I would get some discount. (Alao, conveyed we have multi vitamins of other brand, we been suggested to take the given as well). Been told we give discount. While billing, they have not given any discount. When asked the reason, they simply said sorry.

3. Unnecessarily asked for CBC test. I have asked when can I expect the reports and can I expect over email. If not I can make it done outside. They stated they will be doing it fast and reports will be sent email. But, staff have not taken my email address and also when asked why 3 days, they said they need to send to other lab for test. If that is the case we would have gone for testing some where else as well. Why did they bother taking sample.

Overall, from my experience I suggest boy to go to this clinic again.

Dr. Patil has a friendly demeanor and dry sense of humour that puts you at ease immediately. He quickly had a look and within moments was out with a prescription. Overall took him less than 3 mins from diagnosis to prescribing medication for my issue.It worked wonders. 3 weeks post medication the bleeding and redness in my eyes has completely stopped and disappeared.He was confident I wouldn't need to visit again, and to my surprise, my eyes (sclera) are clearer than ever!Great experience with Dr. Patil!

***** **** * **** ******** ***** This was the second occasion, I booked the appointment with Dr. Vinay Patil, but he was not available. As usual, the standard answer was "emergency". If it was an emergency, the customer should be informed before hand. The staff was pushing to consult the visiting doctor.

Nothing against the visiting doctor, it was a good consultation and he checked with full dedication. But looks like, the appointments are booked in the name of Dr. Patil and then he is never found in the clinic.

***** **** ******* **** ****** ******* ***** ** ****** ***********

I had booked an appointment with Dr Vinay Patil, after reaching the clinic I was informed that the Dr is not available and another Dr will consult me, I had booked an appointment with Dr Vinay Patil, and if he is not available and on "emergency" ( it seems like this is the reason given to most patients, if unavailable" I think the least you can do is call and inform* ** ***** **** ******** ******* **** **** ** *** * *** *** *********** Would highly recommend calling and confirming with the clinic twice or thrice before you take the trouble of travelling all the way to the clinic.

***** **** **** ******* I have visited this doctor based on practo feedbacks and I am really happy for making this decision. My mother had cataract and she got it operated in his clinic. he is a very friendly doctor and puts patients at ease by explaining the procedure also the prices are competitive as u get better rates and quality of lenses than other clinics. Operation took less than 30 mins and note I am writing this feedback after 3 months of operation and my mom till date did not face any issues or complications or side effects.
