I came across Dr. Rashmi Sama through Practo & word of mouth for Sama Hospital for my sinus, breathlessness and cough issues. She was patient enough to listen my symptoms, suggested not only medications but also gave a long term solution without medicines. One rarely meets such a doctor. The diagnosis, treatment and suggestions were on point.

I had a good experience since she explained to me what was causing my throat pain and also the medicines she gave me got me better in a couple of days. All doctors make you wait. But it's worth the wait if the doctor is well qualified and genuinely interested in the well being of its patients.
Visited For Persistent Cough
Hoped for better:Â Treatment satisfactionValue for money
**** ****** ***** I visited Dr. Rashmi's residence for consultation for the problem of prolong dry coughing. However, in few minutes of QnA she moved my case to sleep apnea. I am working mother of 10 month old which naturally leads to stress and less sleep.
Rest of the full conversation revolved around how sleep apnea can impact me like getting a heart attack.
Without considering my medical history, she continuously made efforts to make me believe that I am an undiagnosed patient of sleep apnea and should go through with sleep tests. Even she prescribed me nasal spray to treat something which I don't have at all like blocked nose or sinus.
Asking about cause of my sever coughing, she asked me to get X Ray and PFT reports and prescriber anti-allergic. She even did not bother to check type of sound coming from my chest for diagnosis.
Her whole focus was on sleep related expensive tests.
In short, to justify her fee (which is Rs 2000/-) and for that she didn't even provided any receipt as well **** ****** *** **** **** *** ***** *** **** *** ****** ****** ***********I DO NOT recommend Dr. Rashmi Sama at all, she won't listen to you like I said steam doesn't suits me still she asked me do what she said* *** **** **** *** ******** ******* ** *** *** **** ***** ***********

Doctor don''t have any sense of punctuality & don''t care about patent time. My appointment is at 10am but she came around 11.30 am that day i already left the hospital. Then on another day she came at 11.45am & does not even touch the patient.
Also i have to go to 3 times to get the prescription paper.
MY SINCERELY ADVICE PLEASE DON'T GO TO THIS DOCTOR.

She is very very rude and she is a pain in the neck.
She won't explain anything
Every visit to her, fall short of my expectations and
She always finds faults in the patient, not in her treatment.
She often comes late because of her prior commitments and she wont give you enough time rather she is always pressed for time.

I had a bad experience. Firstly, throughout the treatment doctor was busy in her phone. She was not attentive. ** ****** * *** ******* ** * ********* ****** She took extra hand to hand money for pleural effusion and then simply left. Her assistant started demanding money after she left. *** ***** *** ****** *** *** ****** *** ***** ** ****** *** **** **** ** *** ****** ****** ** *** ****** ********* She even talked rudely to my parents. We felt insulted and left. I won't recommend her to anyone. It disturbed me.

I am Kriti Sinha from Mangalore. Three Years ago I had lost hope in recovering from asthma. I always had this breathlessness and was in terrible pain but all changed from the medicine she prescribed me. She saved my life. She is a godess to me. We need more doctors like her in India.
