Apollo Speciality Hospitals, Jayanagar

For the first time I am writing any review for a doctor as I felt it was utterly needed to save some other patient from wasting thr valuable time. If I have to define him in words that would be.. rude, unfriendly, insensitive, judgemental. For every word that a patient speaks is being judged and is spoken to in a sarcasm which definitely does not help in curing the disease!! I was told to not think about the problem in spite of the fact that I already told him that I dont have time to sit and think about anything. But if pain is thr it is thr. Later I was diagnosed with an infection in foot being the reason for my problem and it could be worse if I would have just sat and not think about the pain. **** **** **** ******* ** ********** *** ******* ** **** *** ***** **** **** ** ******** ** ***** *** *** ******** He dint even bother to talk properly and immediately called sister for giving reports of some other patient while we were still thr sitting for some solution. * **** ***** *** **** ******** ** ** ****** **** *** trust me I have had some very bad experiences but still never felt the need of writing a review. I dont mind anybody calling me. And i am not keeping this anonymous.

After consulting multiple surgeons in the US, Chennai, and Bangalore for my rapidly worsening arthritis, I chose Dr. Deepak Inamdar for robotic total knee replacement (TKR) in Bangalore. While his expertise in using Mako robotic technology was a factor, I was most impressed by his total accessibility and patience.

Dr. Inamdar guided me through my initial hesitancy, questions about recovery, and concerns over the cost (since I had no insurance). With my family’s support, he clearly explained the process, hospital stay, and the painful, prolonged nature of recovery.

Both my right and left knee surgeries were performed by Dr. Inamdar using the Mako robot in mid-October 2025. The hospital process was painless, and the medical and nursing teams at Apollo Specialty Hospital were competent and supportive throughout.

Discharged after four days, I began dedicated at-home physiotherapy. Three weeks post-surgery, with the stitches removed, I am moving my limbs more freely. While the journey involved anxiety and pain, Dr. Inamdar and his team made it a fulfilling experience.

Visited Doctor twice in the month of April & May and twice he & his entourage of junior doctors changed medicines. **** **** * ********** ******. Dr Ravinder Mehta both times never sat across the table during the process of listening to symptoms and analyzing with explanation to the patient. The Doctor might be busy but for me I am my own concern and the transaction is not charitable .One of the junior docs pointed out a WhatsApp number to communicate on in times of emergency. And accordingly when I was out of breath while walking my dog my wife sent scan copies of ALL pathological reports & All Consulting Doctor prescriptions with explanation of how the events unfolded during the day at 1 pm and called and confirmed on the WhatsApp number if the message was received right. The owner of the WhatsApp number might be she is someone in the doctors team looking after bookings or so (pls salute to whatever job you do madam) confirmed at 1.30 pm that the team of doctors are busy in OPD duty. I got the same reply while checking up (called the WhatsApp number) at 5 pm & 20.30 very lax approach from this team of Doctors.

I took my 84 year old father to the doctor due to his acute knee pain and swelling. I am going to summarize my experience in below points. Then it is upto you to decide if you are going to spend your time/ energy / money in seeing this doctor

> The doctor did not even touch my father or examined his knee by making him physically

> The doctor kept sitting on his chair and asked my father (who is having balance issue as no strength in one knee) to stand erect by keeping his foot together so that he can observe the difference by sitting on his chair a far apart . My father was loosing balance and was about to fall if I was not supporting him that time. But doctor kept sitting.

> After this kind of examination and by reading the fathers latest xray report ( done from a different hospital as asked by a different doctor) he immediately turned to my father and kept telling him that he should go only for knee replacement no matter what risk is there , but the patient and only the patient should take that risk. He may die in the process but thats how it should be . He should be ready to take the risk by his own decision

> He indirectly pointed towards me and kept telling my father that your children may not take your responsibility for operation but it is their duty to take this up.. **** ** ********** ** **** ***** **** **** **** * * *** ** *** *** *** *** *** **** *** *** *** **** **** ** *** *** ****** *** **************. Just that we are scared to take him for an operation at this age, as I also have an ailing mother to look after. On this his response was what if your father also becomes bed ridden like your mother . Then you have 2 patients to look after

> Finally after 2 mins (entire follow up ) he wrote a prescription with some pain killing drugs*** *** ****** ** *********** * ***** ******** ******** ***** ** *** *********** * **** *** ******* *** **** ** ********* *** ******* * should be avoided by all.
