I am not at all happy with this doctor very rude I feel personal that people coming for a psychiatrist should give more time to listen to their problems *** ****** ****** ****** ****** ***** ***** **** *** **** **** ****** *doctor should give some time to understand the problem and how to overcome that. He did not try to understand the root cause of depression & said directly your next step will be suicide what we did not expect & not there in mind ** ****** ** **** **** ********** **** * *** *** ******* he listened to me for 5 minutes and just gave me medication. he didn't even ask why I am having this.. what to do to overcome n all. it's not the value of money *** ***** ** ***** ** *** **** *********
Visited For Depression Treatment
Hoped for better: Doctor friendliness
The doctor’s approach towards patient and attendants was very shrude. As a family member when i was explaining the issues he reverted in a very shrude way and in reverse blamed us only for being biased. He even had problem with my profession, medical knowledge and understanding about symptom. Moreover, he was not willing to listen what all issues we as a family are facing and asked us to leave the room within 1 min of conversation, which was literally indicating as Get out with hand gestures. He asked to go for Thyroid test and gave few tablets. I had a lot of questions to ask but due to his attitude i had to settle myself with no questions to be asked. My husband is also suffering with psychic issues but i am sure this time, where i dont need to go now.

I feel personally that people coming for psychiatrist should give more time to listen to the problems and unlike normal health issue where 10-15 mins is more than enough .doctor should give some time to understand the problem and how to overcome that. when I met the doctor, he listened to me *** ****** ********** ** ******* ****** just gave a couple of suggestions and gave medication.he didn't even ask why I am having this.. what to do to overcome n all. it's totally not value of money and seems in hurry to see more patients. **** **** ********** ** ****** ********** *** ******* **** ****** *** **** *** ******* **** ********* ** ******** *****

Hoped for better: Doctor friendlinessValue for moneyTreatment satisfaction
Very very bad experience.He wont do marriage counselling but lists it out in Practo. His staff says he will do marriage counselling *** *** **** *** *** ************ ***** He was least interested in hearing us out and told us he doesnot have infinite time and doesnot prefer to do marriage counselling. Then, why not tell us initially before the session started? It was a very bad experience. Its a loss of time, money and our energy.
Visited For Schizophrenia Treatment
Happy with: Treatment satisfactionExplanation of the health issue
Dr Ashok is a saviour to my life. I have been suffering with schizophrenia and doctor treated me so well and I have been on medication since 6 yrs and still under medication as there is no permanent cure anywhere in the world. I’m able to do my daily tasks and do work in my profession only because of his treatment. He saved my life and what I was dealing with. I do recommend this doctor for mental disorders, depression etc
