For almost a couple of years I have been seeing blurred images and hazy light. It was only in December â22 middle, that I started my research, to take the plunge to clear my eye cataract. It was my good luck that I discussed my eye issue with good friend Shantanu [a retd. IAS] who spoke to his school friend Dr. Achintya Roy of Kolkata and he in turn suggested his friend, Padma Shri Prof. Dr. Ashok Grover [the famous Delhi based Eye Surgeon, ex- AIIMS]. We visited Vision Eye Centre [VEC] Sirifort Road, New Delhi and met Dr. Grover and got instantly convinced that I have found my Doctor at last!
From mid Dec. â22 till 1st week of January â23 I visited three Eye Centreâs and had got requisite experience from what they were saying! Without naming them let me give my points as to why I consider in hindsight it is so important to go to the right place and hands, as it could have damning effects! The first Centre I visited, clearly showed how mercenery they were. The 2nd one was good as they were friendly, totally free for checkups, but they talked of taking up my left eye 1st as it was weak and right eye next. Also they did not mention about my cylindrical power and the Toric lens which I needed to insert. Third Centre I visited, was initially having a reasonable fee but ended with a bang, charging me a big fee for some odd test suggested last minute! Even they too did not suggest the Toric lens for cylindrical power my eyes needed.
My visit to Dr. Ashok Grover set aside all doubts. It was here that I learnât of Astigmatism i.e. (cylindrical power) and the Toric lens. He was also clear he was going to do my Right eye surgery first and then the Left! The complete approach was so different and convincing that I knew it that I have come to the right place. Further, it will be wrong not to mention that being a senior citizen and a music artiste with no insurance to fall back upon I asked â âmay I request you for a soft discount.â I was so touched when I was being discharged I was told that I was being given a discount. Even the 2nd time the discount was repeated. I think this was truly a very rare gesture coming from the great Vision Eye Centre with a wonderful team and staff. First time I found everything so nice ⌠even the O T had classic golden era Hindi film music being played when the eye surgery was on! I was out of wits to hear an Anil Biswas song (my favourite composer) during my 1st eye surgery and S D Burman song in my 2nd. Waah Dr. Grover, I am so happy to have come to you â a big Thankyou !

Dr.Grover and his team of doctors make the patient at ease by their friendly approach and professionalism.The patient develops lot of trust by their process of treatment.
The only issue I found was the wait time which was more than 2 hrs.This could be reduced if the appointment system is followed properly and the patient is told proactively in case of long waiting time.Also a mobile app or a desktop s/w specifically developed to reduce average waiting times to less than 20-30 minutes should be fine with most of the patients.

I took an appointment for 5PM and I reached before time and even paid the doctor fees as well. But after that I again got a message that my appointment time is 6PM and I had to wait for an hour to meet the doctor in the clinic where there were so many patients already in queue which is not preferable, gathering so many people in a room, during Covid Pandemic is not right.
I would suggest to only allocate a small number of patients in a given time period so that people don't have to wait more than 15 mins to get their turn or have bigger waiting area.

Visited For Squint
Hoped for better:Â Doctor friendlinessTreatment satisfactionExplanation of the health issueWait timeValue for money
I visited dr Grover for Squint Surgery. i was asked that surgery will be done by dr grover itself. but later on from source I got to know that squint surgery are done by dr ashutosh not by dr grover.After this I tried many times to just confirm about it .all the time I was given same answer" that both remain present at the time of surgery.Actually when I was in OT , dr grover was not there.though I was not able to see that time but i was clearly able to hear voice.Dr grover was not there. I paid 51000/- for the name of Dr Grover. (because one lady doctor in AIIMS advised me to get my squint operated either in AIIMS or by Dr Grover and because of timing constraint I didn't go to AIIMS ).
coming to politeness of dr grover:-
after 2 months of surgery (after completing normal post surgical procedure) redness in my right eye was not over and it looked like as there is some additional layer.when I reported the same to Dr Grover , how badly he responded over it I can't even describe."aur abhi 4 mahine theek nahi hogi.ab tumbe kuch bola to i will ask my staff to throw you out of my center"..
after that incident I never vistied again to him.same problem is still present in eye.and Squint also was not visible in starting time but now it is visible again.
it almost 5 month has completed but condition of my right eye is same.residual squint is also present. so my total effort, my money and most important the pain I Felt during Surgery is of no use .
overall exp is very Bad.
one important thing to add , there is no bad arrangement for the patient .after surgery you will be asked to sit on chair.how a patient can be comfortable on a chair

I visited to Dr. A K Grover at vision eye centre for cataract surgery in my right eye . Dr Grover is so perfect and expert that there was no pain and complication after surgery. Now I have come up for surgery in left eye without any worries and doubt .Here staff is very cooperative and polite. Complete procedure is told before surgery . Here everything is so systematic that it takes less time. Follow-up is done after surgery. I am so happy with friendly atmosphere here so I suggest others too to take fearless treatment here.

I visited the doctor for the first time on someones reccomendation and i found him to be very friendly and intelligent. I took my mother for some eye issue and he immidiately cought the problem wid her while i was being mislead for a long time by many senior doctors in my area coz of which the situation of my mother is not good today. Every doctor needs money but when u give satisfaction in treatment then money is never an issue for the one who can afford.
I wish the doctor good health and a long long service years to help people in need.
God bless the doctor.

Par excellence both in terms behaviour and expertise. Makes you very comfortable and gives the best advice/treatment.
Not a good experience in terms of tests/attitude of junior doctors and attendants. It took 1-1/2 hours for the file to go Dr. Grover's chamber. Even then I had to time and again prode the attendant to maintain the sanctity of a serial order༤ There was no information provided on secuencing and no place to sit. Why to give appointments to such a large number, which is disprortionately is very high to the logistics.

The clinic in Patel Nagar has small waiting area and overcrowding. One patient one or more attendants. Appears claustrophobic to elderly patients with poor ventilation in basement. Doubtful fire fighting facility and no fire exit plan. There is long waiting time even after all evaluation by junior staff is completed. It is suggested that the staff giving appointment should segregate post operative patients who come for routine short examination versus new patients who need more time for evaluation. Staff at reception ( mostly women) are rude and not very helpful. It is advised that limited appointment be given ( bite as much as you can chew).My case was routine post op follow up, appointment time 2.45 pm but could not meet the doctor till 5.30 pm and no one to tell us how many patients new and old before us. We finally settled for his son Dr Apoorv to see her. This when preliminary examination by technicians was done within half hour of reporting. ******** ****** *** ***** approach friendly but administrative management needs huge improvement for patient satisfaction
