I have two sons elder one struggling in Urinary Infection but we did not know that. Since he born we went to different clinic, every time he got fever ended up with hospitalisation trips OMG I cannot imagine those days. He was hospitalised four times in six months. Then I am planning to change my doctor I have chosen Dr T Vijay Kumar through Practo. Thanks to Practo on helping me to finding a wonderful pediatrician. He suggested to go for circumcision because that is the only way to prevent him from the infection and operation went successful. Now he is very well and I do not see him in sick after that. He is my Pediatrician for my two son.

As we where transferred from Bangalore to Chennai and staying at pallikarani. Initially we have consulted few doctors for my son illness. First thing which I noticed all I met doctors where giving antibiotic on the first stage of cold to baby. The only doctor I noticed he will not give antibiotic to the child for the initial stage. The doctor was very friendly and enthusiatic.He gave me so much of information where so many info was new to me and my wife. He explained the dos and don'ts . Felt like we were in home . Thank you doctor for your way of approaching the patient(baby).
Thank you so much doctor.

I took my 2yr old who had fever (102°F) and cold since early morning. I visited him coz my regular pediatric was away on vacation.
Within 12hours from the onset of fever, the doctor prescribed antibiotics and filled his prescription pad with 4-5 other medicines. *** ************ **** * *** ******* ** *** **** ***** *** ** ** **** *** ***** ***** **** ************ ****** *********** ************ * **** *** ***** *** **** ******** ** *********** *********** ***** ****** ******* ******** ** *** **** **** May be other parents have seen immediate cure with his medication, but I will surely stay away.

Child specialists basically have the patience to answer the question or doubts asked by parents.The replies I got were Cut short replies, nose cut replies, sarcastic replies and portraying parents of child like layman or uneducated ones.Doctor wants to close the case and move to next patient. It was evident.Badly disappointed on seeing such a Doctor in a Super speciality hospital.I paid 400 rupees to consult You Mr. Vijayakumar. Have some basic courtesy to answer the parents of Babies.**** ****** ********* **** **** *** ******** ********* ******* ******** ***** stay away from Prashanth hospital Velachery, for pediatrician , ********** ** *** ****** ** **************
Hoped for better: Wait timeExplanation of the health issue
Have to wait and see the result. Many things need to be improved
1. Doctor should be available on time.
2. Very small space not able to accommodate more than 5 and now the balcony was also rammed down die to encroachment.
3. No need to book it in Practo, bcoz they are not considering the appointment, we need to be in person and have to wait. No time is guaranteed so plan for atleast an hour if you are with in 5 numbers. Since I had waited for anbhour even though I had an Practo appointment. Had a word with the doctor also , he also suggested the same.

I take my kid to this hospital for fever and cough. He prescribed some antibiotics ***** ****** **** ******** ** ***** ******* ******** *** ******** ***** ***** ***** I visited and ask the question to Doctor any side effects bcoz of this medicine.. He replied rudely that your child illness bcoz of infection so he may get vomiting and diarrhea and not bcoz of medicine ..and I m saying fever not getting reduce almost 3 days completed ..again he harshly replied it will Take 5 days to reduce.... Simply saying about this doctor he does not like it question about medicine... Whatever he wrote we should buy that without asking any questions.....

It was nice visiting with you. He is professional and patience. He has a very friendly and caring staff. Thank you very much for being more than just a trusted doctor! My daughter is very happy and I'm also very comfortable. So just keep on doing the good work by the golden hands God has given you.
We have been visiting the clinic from March 2017 onwards. Doctor takes very good care of my Son. I very much like his suggestions on the process of introducing solid food to my son. Even we were not really sure when to start the solid foods. But now we could see very positive response from my son.
Thank you Doctor!
