Visited For cough
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
First of all he is a GOOD LISTENER. I had severe continuous Chronic cough from my childhood. Initially my parents took me to JIPMER 2 or 3 times. Their medication gave me temporary relief for 10 -15 days then it will start again. As we were in Kumbakonam we could not travel that far. We got medications from local available doctors but none of them could fix it. Then I was started on a cough syrup CODEINE PHOSPHATE, which initially relieved my symptoms but i was constantly drowsy and soon after I needed to increase the dosage to get the same effect and eventually, nothing worked. After moving abroad with my husband, I consulted with many doctors, Indians and others, but no one could get to the bottom of it. Then we consulted Dr.Muralidharan sir first in India. He checked for ENT issues, then referred me to a leading Pulmonologist who diagnosed as UNTREATED PRIMARY COMPLEX, prescribed medication and strict diets. These were not at all helpful. My coughing became severe day by day as CODEINE was banned in market and my side effects caused health issues.
So again I went to Dr. Muralidharan. I told him about my suffering and he LISTENED patiently, without dismissing my concerns and observations . Suggested CECT Scan and X rays. With 5 sittings he slowly changed my medications one after other. To my surprise and great relief, my coughing stopped completely for the first time in my life! I am following his medications now, and finally experiencing a life without the constant COUGH. Thank you Doctor! God bless.
Visited For Hearing Loss
Happy with: Treatment satisfaction
I had gone to another doctor related to hearing loss in my right ear. He / She was also among one of the "top" doctors in the same Practo forum. I was told that the loss is permanent and it was a type of a sensoneural hearing loss, suggested me MRI. I was so down and lost post my consultation and decided to consult another doctor.
*** ************* *** **** ********** With very few diagnostic steps, he clearly told me that this is eustachian tube dysfunction and nothing else. He gave few medicines and i am much feeling better and hearing is getting back to normalcy. Feels like a new life for me.
Thank you Dr. May god bless you!!!
Visited For Nasal and Sinus Allergy Care
The doctor consultation fees was 500 INR and the time he spent examining the patient was about 2 minutes . That was really really costly
The medicines prescribed were all high margin medicines and he wanted a scan done only in a Center next to t nagar and no where else
He prescribed about 2 antibiotics , 2 paracetamols and one nasal drop for a simple allergy

Visited him at Apollo Speciality OMR for a simple blocked ear brought on by a severe cold. He was extremely rude and told me that I was going deaf, and that my ear was not blocked. Pointing his hand at me, he told me to admit that I was going deaf and then he could help me. He directed me to take some tests at a nearby lab and then return to him for treatment. He said there is only loud and more loud , no "loud and ""soft

Visited For Ear Wax (Cerumen) Removal
Hoped for better: Doctor friendliness
I went to the doctor for ear wax removal. When i told him that, he became very rude and asked me “Are you an engineer?” I said yes n he was like “is this how u approach a doctor? You have to tell what your issue is. Not what has to be done”. For the entire consultation he was extremely rude to me. When my friend was going for consultation he asked to remove footwear. I naturally thought both of us have to do the same. Then the other doctor told only the patient getting exam has to remove. So i wore my shoes back and he said “you are delaying everything “. ***** ** ****** *** ** *** *** **** ***** * *** ** **** ** ********* I wouldn’t recommend anyone to go to this doctor. I am not commenting on his expertise. In my opinion, if u can’t be civil to a patient, it doesn’t matter how good u r. ** *** **** *********** ******* ** ***** *** *******
Visited For Ear Wax (Cerumen) Removal
Happy with: Treatment satisfaction
Worth paying him. When people are ready to spend so much for unnecessary things. Why not to a Doctor who treats well n cures completely? He is a very good doctor. I had a pain on my right upper jaw near my cheeks on the corner of my ear . He told me not to stress eating too much chewy foods like meat. N I got few tablets n antibiotics n it was during the winter season. The viral infection spread plus the jaw pain n cheek pain in separate. He really treated well. Doesn't explain more technical but gives cautions to get careful. That's needed.
