Happy with:Â Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issue
Doctor was detail oriented. Looked at the reports and looked at my left kidney also. Gave me prescription. It hasn’t gone away yet but I was happy with doctors professionalism and calm demeanour. Contacted him though WhatsApp also and he was responsive which is what’s really required.

For my mother; he had to choose between tuberculosis and cancer for diagnosis. And he did very very expensive tests ****** * ****** to do that. And even after this he chose incorrectly i.e. tuberculosis, wasted our 3 precious months.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We went to him after CT scan showed lesion on liver + pain-in-abdomen + weight-loss(15Kg) and several lymph nodes around pancreas. He did ultrasound-guided FNA, fibroscan, blood-tests, HPV-DNA etc ***** * ****** ** ****** ******* ***** ************* ***** *** ***** ** ************
He said to us, that my mother has so many lymph-nodes that she would not be alive if it is cancer and therefore it is definitely tuberculosis.
Trusting his judgement, seniority, reputation our mother was started on modified-tuberculosis treatment with regular follow-ups in 15 days. In every such video-consultation, my mother told him that she is feeling nausea, loss-of-appetite, vomitting, loss-of-sleep. And he gave us just 2 mins, ****** prescribed her ************ ************ *********pill etc. and carried on with her treatment. And this was the case for 3 months.
For last 15 days, her condition deteriorated. And we tried reaching him over phone (via her assitant), whatsapp but he continued to stay non-responsive. This forced us to consult another physician in a different hospital. *** **** ********** ** ******** *** ******** *********** ******* ********** ******* *** ************* ** *** ************ ** ********* **** ****** ** ** ***** ** ***** ******* ***** ** ********** *** ********* ******* When questioned, he didn't provide any rational explaination on what basis he ruled out cancer in initial diagnosis.
As per him, he started TB treatment (and sticked with it for 3 months, which is a really really long time) basis his intution. ** *** *** **** *** *** ******** ** **** *** ******* And he didn't shared with us that, **** ** *** ********* *** ** ** ***** **** ********** ** *** ******* ****** ** **** *******

I can't comment much about the doctor because he only gave me 2 minutes of his time. Already his fees are quite high - Rs 1200 and I still am as confused as I was before visiting him. He did not try in anyway to comfort me. I obviously did read up on the internet about the issues i was facing, so i was asking a few questions because i was nervous. I think that is bound to happen when your lab reports are bad. All the doctor said was get a particular scan done. He was not very receptive of me asking questions - finally he ended by saying that you don't understand and just walked out on me while I was still sitting in his cabin. If i did really understand what's wrong with me then why would I really be meeting him ? I agree with him absolutely that we need to get the scan done to first get a diagnosis and only then can he recommend some procedure, but a few kind words and a few clarifications would have gone a long way in comforting a patient. Don't think i would go back to him after my first experience.

********** ********** ******** The doctor was incredibly rude, did not at all care about what we had to say and basically just wanted us to get done as soon as possible and give the money (Rs.1000 for barely 3 minutes of unprofessional and rude behavior with not a single valuable insight) at the counter. He spoke to my mother very very rudely and said things like "Please get to the point", "either you have a go-getter attitude else nothing can be done" and "Don't describe your points just list them out". I hope people read this review *** * *** ** ***** ***** To everyone reading this: please do not go *** ***** **** *********** ***** ** ******* *** ***** **** * **** ***** ***** *********

Sharing this from my personal experience. He is the least advisable doctor you can visit for your Gastro issues. *** ************* ******* ********* ** **** **** ***** ** ****** **** **** He would not give you time, ****** ***** **** ********* *** *********** ***** *** ***** *** **** **** *** ******** ***** **** ******** After waiting for 2 hours, he called me in his chamber. Didn't even listen to my problem for 30 seconds and decided that I needed an endoscopy. Then hours and hours of waiting for the test and reports. After than he gave me another 30 seconds of his time and wrote medicines. No advice, no asking about my lifestyle, ******** ***** **** ** ******* ********** ***** ****** **** * **** ****** ** *** ********* **** ** **** I again consulted him and he again advised me expensive tests without even listening to me for 30 seconds. He shut me down as soon as I asked a couple of questions and that's it. The consultation got over. Very bad experience.
