I had been affected with covid -19 Delta variant in the Ending month of June. During this covid I developed pain in abdomen while in hospital for getting treatment of covid. On timely Examination and notice of doctors, they Referred me to another hospital in UAE. On doing CT scan of my abdomen, it was found I had colon rupture (Large intestines cut/damaged) and Whole puss of large intestines was spreading slowly to other parts. So, Doctors there took first call of immediate surgery in month of July 2021 and drained the puss from abdomen. Due to covid and immediate surgery I had lot of weakness., After Few days immediately travelled to India.

After one week pain again started in abdomen, followed by redness. After Enquiring about the best Gastroenterologist from my brother-in-Law, I came to Apollo hospital Delhi. Here I First met Physician Dr.N.M TICKOO who later on referred me to Dr SUNIL KAUL Who is surgeon in department of Gastroenterology Apollo hospital Delhi. He examined me and advised for another immediate surgery in order to remove puss from abdomen, so that it does not spread to other parts. After doing surgery in the month of August 2021, he created Fistula(opening) in my body in order to drain puss from colon so that it does not get accumulated again.

He advised me to keep these 2 wounds open and these wounds should not get closed .Dr Sunil Kaul tried to give 2 to 3 months healing time in order to avoid another 2 major surgeries. But due to my bad luck colon rupture did not heal on its own. Dr Sunil Kaul motivated me a lot and gave me confidence. Later I went for another 3rd Major surgery in month of December 2021 and was admitted for 11days where Dr Sunil Kaul did my surgery of colon Repair and created ileostomy (small intestine detached from colon and taken out from body connected with ileostomy bag). Also went for 4th Major surgery in the month of January 2022 for ileostomy closer.Inspite of facing such bad time, because of multiple surgeries, I feel lucky enough to have met Dr Sunil Kaul who came in form of God…. gave me another life. Never seen such a doctor being so down to earth, humble and always ready to help. He is master of his profession and completely knowledgably and carried these surgeries himself. Now I am completely fit and fine by the blessings of Sai baba and dedication of Dr. Sunil Kaul.

Dear all my intention of writing this is not to gain any sympathies, but to make everyone aware what I faced with fight against covid.

• Doctors are referred as life savers. Timely treatments is available but right doctors sometimes are not available. I was lucky enough to have met right doctor on right time. So, I recommend you Dr Sunil Kaul of Apollo Hospital Delhi for Gastroenterology related issues ** *** **** ****** * **** ****

We had a very difficult and concerning experience with Dr. Amitabha Dutta during a critical phase of my brother’s recovery.

My brother had been treated for severe acute pancreatitis in the ICU at a hospital in Guwahati. After his discharge from the ICU, we consulted Dr. Dutta in Delhi for further management. At that time, my brother already had a PD (pigtail drainage) in place******* *** ********** ** **** * **** ** ******* *** ********** ** *** ********. Communication was limited, and the overall interaction often felt dismissive rather than reassuring during such a sensitive phase.

During treatment, the PD drain came out on its own within a short period. We were advised that this was acceptable and even suggested that removal of a PD is otherwise complex. Following this, no immediate intervention was done, and we were advised to return after one month with a CT scan.

Based on this advice, my brother remained ******* *** ******** ******* *** ****** *** ******. When the CT scan was finally conducted, it revealed a massive fluid collection of over 3.5 liters. At that stage, we were told the condition had become complicated and required urgent admission. However, there was no clear explanation as to how the situation had escalated to this extent despite ongoing consultations.

*** ** *** *** ******** *** **** *** ** ***** ********** **** ***** ********** ******** ****** ************** The evaluation appeared to rely primarily on the radiologist’s written report rather than direct clinical assessment of the imaging. ** ********* **** ** ***** ********* ***** ************ **** ********* ******** *** ***** ********** *** **** **** ** *********** ******** *** ******* *** ******

On the 9th of July, I found myself battling a relentless fever that had persisted for an entire week. As my condition worsened, I realized that I needed professional medical attention to regain my health. With a glimmer of hope, I decided to seek help from a renowned physician, Dr. Rakesh Gupta, at the prestigious Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals in Sarita Vihar.

Arriving at the hospital, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere, which immediately eased my worries. The moment I stepped into Dr. Gupta's office, his reassuring smile and calm demeanor put me at ease. It was evident that I had come to the right place.

Dr. Gupta attentively listened to my symptoms and medical history, taking note of every detail. His vast ********* *** experience were apparent as he carefully examined me, performing all necessary tests to determine the root cause of my prolonged fever.

After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Gupta explained the diagnosis in a compassionate yet straightforward manner. He prescribed a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to my specific needs. His confidence and genuine concern for my well-being left me with a newfound optimism.

Following Dr. Gupta's prescribed treatment, I began my road to recovery. The impact of his expertise was truly remarkable. Within just two days, my fever began to subside, and my overall condition significantly improved. The relief I felt was immeasurable, and my gratitude towards Dr. Gupta knew no bounds.

Not only did Dr. Gupta possess exceptional medical skills, but he also displayed a genuine passion for his profession and a dedication to his patients' well-being. His empathy and personalized approach made all the difference in my healing process. Dr. Gupta had not only treated my physical ailment but also provided the emotional support I needed during a challenging time.

As I left Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, Sarita Vihar, I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of happiness and gratitude. Dr. Rakesh Gupta had not only cured my fever but had also restored my faith in the power of compassionate healthcare. His exceptional care and expertise had transformed my life, and I would forever be grateful for his contributions to my well-being.

From that day forward, I carried with me the memory of Dr. Gupta's exemplary treatment, spreading the word about his remarkable skills and the excellent care he provided. My encounter with him had left an indelible mark, reminding me of the tremendous impact a dedicated physician can have on a patient's life.

And so, the story of my fever and subsequent recovery became a testament to the exceptional medical care and the compassionate nature of Dr. Rakesh Gupta, a shining star in the realm of healthcare.

My father has been suffering from CKD( Chronic Kidney disease) from last 2 years. I live in Chicago(USA), being away from my parents was very disheartening to see his kidney numbers going bad. I found Dr Sarin online through Practo while searching for top 10 nephrologists in delhi. After reading all the reviews shared by patients on google reviews and practo, i knew i could trust him with my father. We went to 2 more Nephrologist’s before contacting Dr.Sarin without any change in his condition . After our first consultation with Dr Ashok Sarin my father started feeling drastically better mentally and physically. His creatinine, potassium and Microalbumin numbers have started coming down. He has been under Dr Sarin’s treatment from last 2 months and there is a tremendous change in his kidney functioning, all his number are almost within range now.He give such positive vibes to the patients, that patients starts feeling better immediately. Nobody prescribed such wonderful medicines for my father’s kidney issues like Dr Sarin. He made my father a different person, he never used to do any exercises but after one consultation with Dr Sarin he has started doing exercises daily and taking care of his health. Hands down Dr Ashok Sarin is the best nephrologist In Delhi. I know i can trust him with my father, he came as a savior for us.

My Cr level went up from 1.7 to 2.4 one week after discharging from hospital.So I went to ER on 20 dec at 10.30pm and i requested ER I want the proper right treatment under Dr jasuja because my new kidney has some problems.

He also adjusted the dose of oral medicines.My Cr level started to go down on 25 dec from 2.6 to 2.4 and then gradually went down day by day. My Cr level was 1.7 on 28 dec in the morning report. I already told him that I want the treatment as early as possible when he knew the early report of renal biopsy.But he told me nothing was found in the early 24 hour report. He told me i should wait the full report of the biopsy. I requested him again when he got the full report of biopsy I want the treatment as soon as possible. It's my second time request. He told me the block of biopsy need to send another hospital for second opinion. I got the report of biopsy from Apollo hospital on 27 Dec at 2pm.

I would not recommend Dr. Kalpana Nagpal to anyone on this earth. ** **** *** **** ****** ***** *** *** she performed the Hemithyroidectomy on me on 28th Jan 2022. I had a right thyroid nodule of 3 cm which was Bening as per the 2 FNAC tests performed a year apart from 2 different hospitals. I stay in Kolkata and I went to Delhi to get my nodule treated, I visited Dr. Nagpal and she told me that the size of my nodule is ideal for ROBOTIC surgery, the cost of Robotic Surgery was not at all affordable for us (as we were not sure if my company's insurance will cover such advanced procedure), still my mother was ready to go for it as the Robotic thyroidectomy as it is performed from Axilla, not directly on the neck.

After the surgery a drain was attached to the thyroid gland from the Axilla which was supposed to be pulled out after 3 days. I visited the hospital for drain removal on 2nd Feb 2022, from that day onwards I kept telling the Dr. that I feel like a drain in my neck and she kept ignoring saying it is just a post-surgery swelling, still I had doubts as I could feel it all the time. Therefore I stayed in Delhi for a month till my next follow up after a month of surgery, so in case anything happens I'll stay close to hospital bearing all the extra costs that 1 month costed me. During my 1 month post surgery visit, I again told her about what I can feel in the surgery area and she said it could be Muscular Fibrosis and there is nothing from her end to recheck as she is so sure about her procedures.

[After around 1.5 months of surgery it suddenly started bleeding from the incision followed with severe swelling and fever (which was due to the tube pinching the fragile skin from inside, I told her the same and she prescribed me **** ** **** pain killers and antibiotics, *** ****** ** ***** ** ***** ********* ** ***** ******* ** ** ***** *********

I believed her Muscular Fibrosis statement and thought that there must be something wrong with my body only and this trust on her caused me the most harm. After 6 months when I went to a hospital for USG Neck I asked the Sonographer to put the Transducer on that place and he said there is definitely something and suggested me to go for an x-ray. I immediately went for an x-ray which was clearly showing a 12cm tube left in my Hemithorax region **** *** ******** *** * *** *** ********* ******** * ******* ******** ****** **** *** **** *** ****** *** *** **** ****** **** ****** ***** ** ***** *** ********** ***** I directly went to Delhi after the x-ray and visited another Dr. for an opinion if that is actually a tube as I wanted to be 200% sure, because Dr. Nagpal kept calling it Muscular Fibrosis for straight 7 months, and that Dr. cleared that it can't be anything else than the tube. Next day I went to Dr. Nagpal and after seeing the x-ray first she denied and than she asked me where the tube came from (like if I got it planted myself or as if I know) then she called another Dr. from floor and asked my brothers to wait outside while she checks and she got hold of the tube and she was ready to PULL IT OUT CUTTING LAYERS OF MY SKIN ON THE OPD CHAIR THAT TOO WITHOUT ANY PRIOR CT SCAN OR ANYTHING, THAT TUBE WAS INSIDE ME FOR 7 MONTHS. I pulled back my hand and called my brother instantly, then she stared requesting them to let her try once on the OPD chair and it that doesn't work she will take me to the Operation Theater **** * *** * ***** **** ** ***** *** **** ** ******** ***** ** *** ***** **** **** **** She never cared about the risk of infection or severe bleeding, when I told this to other Dr's they too said any surgery is done in a controlled environment, but all she cared about herself, **** **** **** ****** ** **** ********** ***** ***** *** ****** ***

The Dr. who later performed the surgery made me go through CT Scan and several blood tests to be sure about the situation before performing the tube removal, by God's grace it came out at once.*** ****** **** * ****** ********* ******* *** ** *** *** ******* ****** ** **** ******** *** * ****** *** * *** *** ** * **** ****** ** my gut was so disturbed after taking so much Antibiotics and Painkillers, I still keep burping like 15 times a minute, *** ****************** **** ** **** ** *** ***** ******* ** ****** ** **** ********** Therefore I didn't want to go through more stress and pain living in Delhi ** *** **** ****** * **** *** *** ****** ***** *** ****** ** **** * ********** *** * *** ******* ******* ** **** ***** ****** ***** *** *** ** **** *** ******** *** ******* *** ** ****** ****** * *** ****** ** ** ***** **** ****** *** *** *** ****** ** ** ***** ****** ****** ** **** ***** I STILL REGRET AND CURSE THE DAY I VISTED HER.

I thought everything will be fine after the tube removal but the tube has made a path which is still not healed after around 2 months of my tube removal surgery, it is said to be a Scar Tissue which still causes pain and issues during swallowing.

**** *** **** ******* *** *** ********* *** ** ** ***** I HAVE GONE THROUGH THE SURGERY TO REMOVE THE MOST BIGGER AND VISIBLE PORTION OF THE Right NODULE, EVEN AFTER KNOWING THAT THE NODULE IS BENIGN. But she only removed the lower part of the Right Thyroid Nodule and left the upper portion which too had visible swelling, now as the lower portion became more hallow and upper one looks like a pointed thing on my neck. When I asked her th same thing, she said it is Benign therefore she left it, but the thing was I already knew it was Benign and the sole purpose of surgery was to remove the bigger and visible portion of the right side gland, *** *** ******** ** **** ************ ***** ******* * **** *** ** * ******* *** *********** ********* *** ****** *** **** ****** I have gained nothing the nodule is still visible, only thing is now I've more health issues do deal with, the tight Scar Tissue in my neck, my Gut, my mental health, the trauma I go through every morning after seeing my neck portion in mirror.

I am writing this review after 2 months of my 2nd surgery because I'm not at peace and going through a lot **** ******* ** **** ********* *** *** *** ** **** ********* ***** *** ********* **** she kept neglecting my problems.

When I shared my USG reports with her via WhatsApp, she didn't responded for 2 days then I called her if she can check it once, she told me that she cannot check anyone's report like that, 1st pay the consultation charges than only she will see them. Now I'm paying and going through all the losses *** ****** *** ****** ******** *** *************** *** **** **** **** *** ****** *** I'll not recommend this Dr. to anyone.

This is for all the worried parents, who has some medical problem with the baby.

I had high AFI during pregnancy, and in the doppler test it was indicated that there could be a blockage/obstruction in the intestine of the baby. After the delivery it was confirmed. One of our known doctor recommended Dr. Sujit Chaudhary(Apollo Hospital) for the surgery.

Dr Sujit was very straight while explaining the issues. In the first interaction some might consider him rude as well, but he is soft and kind by heart *** **** **** ** ****** ** *** ***** *** **** **** ** **** *** *** ***** He performed the surgery and it was successful. Baby has to stay in NICU for next 3 weeks and these 3 weeks were full of ups and downs and eventually with the help of wonderful doctors and very helpful NICU staff specially Dr Pulkit , we sailed out of the difficult times. Dr Sujit is like a god for us.

Thank you Dr Sujit sir and his team, for giving a new life to our new born baby.

Also would like to thank Dr. Saroja Balan and complete NICU staff for taking care of the baby.

We wish Apollo all the very best and would like to thank you for helping me and others recover.

** * **** ** **** * **** ******* *** ********* ** ** *********** **** ****** I narrowed down my list of potential surgeons in Delhi-NCR, Mumbai & other part of the Country and after considerable exploration, I found one of the Country’s top ENT Consultant & Surgeon, Dr. (Prof.) Suresh Singh Naruka, who is currently associated with the Apollo Hospital Indraprastha, Delhi. Dr. Naruka is an exceptionally revered Consultant and ENT Surgeon, who specializes primarily in oral, head and neck tumors / cancers as well as other complex ENT surgeries.

In a nutshell, Dr. Naruka is a great Surgeon blessed with magical hands and a gentle touch for his patients as he performed my extremely complex neck tumor surgery procedure confidently and flawlessly. The staff that surrounds him at Apollo, Delhi is also extremely confident in their abilities to take care of patients before, during and after the surgery.

Thank you so much Dr. Naruka for your excellent care and compassion. You are indeed a Super person, Super doctor, Super surgeon! I can’t thank you enough for what you did and for the wonderful person you are. I feel truly blessed to have you as my surgeon. ******* *** ****** ****** *** **** *** ****** ***** ********* ** *** *** **** *******

I have no words to thank Dr Amit Mittal. He gave my father a new lease of life.

My father was diagnosed with mitral valve regurgitation in 2023. A hospital can be a daunting place for anybody, especially for someone in their 70s'. But thanks to Dr Mittal, Dr. Das and their excellent team, my dad was treated with utmost care and efficiency. He was prescient with his diagnosis, excellent in his treatment and generous with giving us his time during those stressful days of hospitalization. The open-heart surgery and valve replacement went smoothly at Apollo and the post-operative care under his guidance was top notch.

Even though my parents live in another part of the country, Dr Mittal is always responsive, reachable, just a call away, sparing his valuable time to still glance at test reports or take an occasional video call to give us his medical advice without charging a penny.

I have nothing but gratitude and respect for his expertise, his humility and the empathy with which he treats his patients. He has my father's blessings.

really bad experience ..we visited Dr. LR Seth on 01st February 2022(attaching my prescription here) thinking she is an experienced doctor and would help us out with eye cataract issue..but she was so rude, cold and behaved as if she was doing some favour listening to our problems..we had our freshly done test reports with us from a reputed lab which she refused to see saying that she will only see the test done from her own hospital..we had gone for consultation and she was not even interested to discuss our problem..she behaved as if she was so busy and we were troubling her by even talking to her..got no real diagnosis from her..no information nothing for 2000rs consultation..we would have been much better had we visited another doctor..highly disappointed and shocked at her unprofessional attitude..Apollo is a brand name so we trust the doctors there *** **** ******* *** **** ***** ** **** ***** ******* *** ******** ***** *** ******** **** ** ************ ****** ** **** ************** ******* ** realy really bad experience visiting her..Apollo should check the behaviour of the doctors they are employing !! shocking!!
