Visited For Dry Eyes
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issue
Rating: ★★★★★
I was suffering from severe dry eyes due to the long hours I spent in front of my laptop working for a tech company. Thankfully, my doctors recommended the Zero eye strain screen protector for my laptop, and it was a game-changer! Combined with the eye drops they prescribed, my dry eyes improved significantly. I no longer experience discomfort, and my eyes feel much better. Plus, the screen protector also helps keep my eyes cool during extended hours of work. Thank you!

I have visited Dr. Shalini for my eye checkup as I used to have stress on my eyes while in front of computer.
She was friendly and explained me the problem in detail. She has suggested me the eye drops and breaks between my working hours. Basically change in my lifestyle.
I am satisfied after consulting her. Thankyou dr. Shalini:)

My mom recently underwent an eyelid correction surgery at Apollo Bannerghatta Hospital, performed by Dr. Shalini Shetty, *** ************** our experience was far from satisfactory.From the outset, we had high hopes and expectations, but the outcome of the surgery has been disappointing. The procedure did not achieve the desired results, and we have experienced significant complications.Initial Consultation: On 30th October 2024, Dr. Shalini Shetty suggested an eyelid correction surgery and recommended it be performed at Apollo Bannerghatta Hospital.Surgery: The surgery was performed on 5th November 2024. During the follow-up visit, we were informed that a new prosthetic eye would be fitted in the next visit.Follow-Up Visit: On 26th November 2024, we visited the hospital for a follow-up on the surgery recovery. Dr. Shalini Shetty mentioned that another procedure was necessary, which was performed on 29th November 2024, to create space for the new prosthetic eye due to tissue growth inside the upper lid. We were told that the dimensions for the new prosthetic eye were taken and it would be ready in two weeks. We were assured that an associate would contact us once the prosthetic eye was ready. However, no one contacted us, and I had to follow up with the hospital repeatedly. Finally, we were asked to come on 26th December 2024.Prosthetic Eye Issue: On 26th December 2024, when we inquired about the new prosthetic eye, we were not shown anything. Eventually, we were told that the old prosthetic eye was good to use, but it was not shown to us either. The old prosthetic eye did not fit properly in the socket, making it appear as if there was no eyeball in the socket.Stitches Issue: The stitches from the surgery were not removed and did not dissolve automatically, even after seven weeks. When we asked about this, we did not receive a proper response.Additional Procedures: Despite the additional procedures mentioned in point 3 and the prosthetic eye issue, no additional charges were requested, which seemed unusual.Despite following all post-operative care instructions, my mom's condition has not improved, and we have had to seek additional medical attention to address these issues(Unfortunately it requires additional surgery for the socket reconstruction), for which we are not ready with one more surgery. *** ******* *** *** ********** *** ***** **** ** ***** **** *** ** *** *********** * ******** ********* The lack of proper communication and follow-up care from Dr. Shalini Shetty and the hospital has only added to our distress.I hope that by sharing our experience, others will be better informed when considering this hospital and surgeon for their procedures. I urge Apollo Bannerghatta Hospital and Dr. Shalini Shetty to take these concerns seriously and improve their standards of care and patient communication.I would never recommend Dr. Shalini Shetty for any issues. Despite her high claims during consultations, her surgical skills did not reflect this. I am considering taking this issue to the Medical Council of India.
Please don't visit this lady. ** ****** ****** **** *** *** *** *** ******** ** *** *** ********* *** ** ** *** ** ****** *** ** ** **** *** **** *** ** *** *** ******* ********** ***** *** *** ***** *** **** ******* ********* ** *** ****** **** This doctor made my sister to run around for ********* test and she had no patience to diagnose and understand the problem. In 2 days her face turned black and swollen on one side with unbearable pain. After the 4th visit Appollo says it's an allergy and needs to run more test to understand the problem by then my sister was in miserable pain and couldn't eat or sleep for 5 days.
We finally avoided Appollo *** ******* ******** ********* *** ** ***** ****** **** **** ** ***** ********* *** **** *** *** ***** *************Please don't visit Apollo or Shalini shetty.

I had taken my father to 3 eye specialists before visiting dr shalini . His case was complicated as he has may medical issues.But DR shalini explained everything with lot of care and my father had a successful cataract surgery and he is able to read and watch tv very comfortably without glasses
i would definitely recommend dr sahab for any eye problems
The 5 start rating is just for incredibly great Dr. Shalini Shetty. You must visit her, if you are looking for an ophthalmologist. She is highly knowledgeable and her way of explaining thing is one of her quality. Her knowledge is reflection of her vast experience It is pleasure of Apollo Hospital to have such Doctor.
