Visited For Open Heart Surgery
Happy with:Â Explanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
My father got angioplasty from other hospital then after much investigation i went to sir vivek jawali. I went to meet doctor with reports, after watching reports he understood the case very well and told me to go for his bypass. I admire his skill because after watching reports I don't need to ask him anything, he knows what are questions and what are answers. Ya one thing is he is very strict and scolds you if u ask anything, but u will not be needing to ask any question for sure. After operation, it was open heart surgery, my father is doing great i can say. its been around one year he had his surgery.
Hoped for better:Â Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
visited to consult for my father's open heart surgery CABG with all reports and test. he read the reports and suggested for bypass surgery asap. I wanted to ask some questions for my father's satisfaction like complications and risk of the surgery he didn't reply even a single question and ignored as he is not listening. In last I requested to see atleast angio CD and suggest if MICS can be done. he shouted on us **** * ***** *** *** ********* ******** ** ** * ****** ******* ** ** * **** ***** ****** ** ****** ******* **** ******* never suggest this doctor ********* *** **** ***** ******** ** ** **** ** ******* *** ** **** ** ***** *** ******* ****** ******* ******** ******* ** ***** ********* *** ******* ******* **** ** *** ******* **** **** *********** after surgery during follow-up he will never ask how r feeling etc. suggest you to explore another doctor in the city. As it is related to your heart.

Hoped for better:Â Wait time
i would not comment about the doctor since I was not able to see him. But the fortis Cunningham road hospital was like a bad nightmare. I had been calling the reception since 2 days and no1 picked the phone. In fact the person at reception desk didn't even know if the phone was working. there were not even a single sanitizer kept anywhr in the hospital, no social distancing, extremly poor condition of premise. I had a 8:30 am confirmed appointment. While reaching there, reception desk told me that their staff would come only by 9. there was no option of nom touch payment(scan n pay), they only acceptedcash or card. No1 had a clue when the doctor would come to hospital. After a lot of struggle, I was given the number of doctor's secretary to call and chck myself. she informed me to wait and doctor would not visit before 10-10:30 and I should have called her to book appointment. I am not sure why teh appointments are booked through practo for the doctor when they don't have a clue. I decided to leave instead of waiting for the fear of getting corona in such filthy environment and unprofessionalism. I would not recommend anyone to vist fortis Cunningham road. there are much better hospitals in bangalore.
