This Dr. is so cool and highly educated, my father had a brain stroke and we admitted in prime kukatpally, he was kept in icu For 2days and later shifted to room. Based on my fathers situation the doctor didn't suggested for the surgery and suggested to continue medicines, so it's been almost 3 years till now my dad got recovered and active. Thanks to Dr.Raju.

Purily i can say one thing. I will not suggest anyone. 11-july-2017 afternoon i visited with my mother. He is not concentrating on the patient what they are saying. while saying it self he stared prescription writting. As per his advice we done some x-rays. He is not explained what exactly the problem. What is the route cause of the problem(today i consulted another doctor as same problem, He explained clearly then we showed prescription- He said simple i cannot judge the other doctor. same thing we went to physiotherapist he also seeing x-ray he said what is the problem). Simply saying bone density(strength) not good. Ok i will write another test (x-ray)- suggested in I-diagnosis. I asked why he said to know exactly how much its week. To knowing that what we can do? He said simply get the report i will tell You. We done and showed in 30 min . He said it very week. so what is the precosion. He said take spoutes, green leaves, vitamin-d is less . same thing he told me before the doing second x-ray. My mother asking some things related to the pain , in between he got a call and saying my assistant will tell you. In front of us he said take them to Physicotherapy. and doctor asked some thing his personal that guy not listening. i asked can you take us, he said you go. He is good at his JOB but as doctor.I dont liked him. I will not suggest anyone. I can agree phone is very important more than a patient. Emergency no one will stop. Really i am very disappointed he is having that experience. We are keeping money but not getting proper response how it feels.

I was having calf muscle pains and difficulty in urination from 5 years. Even with these symptoms, i was leading a comfortable lifestyle. I was advised to take MRI if lambard spine and was diagnosed to have cyst in my spinal chord. After searching for spine doctors on google, I found this doctor and the reviews were also good. I met the doctor and showing the reports, he said that surgery was mandatory and that too as soon as possible else it will trun onto paralysis. I asked how complicated the surgery is and for that the doctor said it's a medium complex surgery. I believed him and undergone the surgery. The doctor has not informed about any side effects and just before surgery in front operation theater, he made his assistant to speak to my family and said that there may by 20% complications post surgery and that too it's ruled out because the doctor has performed more than 5000 surgeries. The surgery was performed and in the evening the doctor visited and said that operation is 99% success. But, I immediately told the doctor that my right leg has lost sensation and became weak. I was not able to walk. The doctor started shying away from me and was not answering to my questions. ****** **** * ******** **** **** ****** ** *** *** ** ****** ** ***** ****** His junior told that within 3 days you can become normal. I was in hospital for 1 week and my position was same. He never used to answer my questions and every time I met him, hewould walk away from me. *** ****** ** * *** **** ** ** *** ******* *** * ******** ******** I asked him if physio therapy will help me, even he discouraged me from taking physio therapy. Even after 7 months, my situation is same. Today I met a physiotherapist, ** ******** ** ********* *** ** **** **** *** ****** *** **** **** ******** *** *** *** ******** **** ** *** ********* *** ** ****** ******** I am repenting now. My sincere advice is never go to this doctor. Please avoid this doctor. ** ** * *** ** ****** ** *** ****** ******* ********** *** **** *********** ***** **** *** *** **** ** ** ***********
Our family had a very bad experience in fact lost our happiness along with my mom..she was suffering from intramodulary tuberculoma with edima..a lesion in spinal. which created pressure in internal nerves which lead to lower limb weakness and some kind of urinary problem too..the problem was not soo complicated when we approached the Dr. But after the surgery was done entire things went wrong..she lost her sensation in the entire lower body..she couldnt sit or move her body..later on i came to know that the surgery was failed..my mom suffered for 21 days..and then one fine morning she passed away by cardiac arrest..this is to be expected by an experience Dr. But he never cautioned us..he was really helpless after the surgery along with other less experienced Dr. He told success rate for this surgery to be as 80%..but it was actually 0%. we were helpless blaming our-selves for being responsible for going to a complicated surgery which we were really not sure..actually we killed our mother..
I humbly request for those who are in such situation..dont go for neoro surgery until unless it can't be cured with out surgery.its really complicated than what Dr's say...infact the other option is ayurveda..we had this in our mind when we approached prime hospitals but were confused and we wanted our mother to be cured soon..
now its been one and half year we are still unable to come out..

Myself and my sister-in-law went to show the reports of my nephew regarding spine. We already meet other doctors and showed the reports and they explained the problem and provided some solution.
Here the case is different, when I started explaining the problem he is not listening at me and asking about the other doctors op details and he want to know waht they suggested and blaming us for not bringing the other doctors op forms and he is telling that we provided the half information and it is difficult for him to privide the solution.
We alredy have the MRI scan reports, test results, he has enough information to go through that and provide the solution. I was confused why he is asking for other doctors suggested reports.
He shared his whatsapp number to provide those missing information documents.
We just came out with some explanation which is completely dissatisfied.
I would suggest not to go with him as per my experince.

We admitted our patient on Nov 6th. On Day 1 before we admitted the patient for In patient procedure, Doctor was nice to explain the situation to us. However, after we admitted the patient from Day 2 Doctor was very rude and didnt had any kind of empathy towards the patient family members in explaining the situation. Necessary Test were conducted late, doctors come late to the hospital, doctors get angry if we seek second opinion from other doctors, after keeping the patient for 3 days without any surgery they put us in a situation that within few mins surgery need to take place and we have to decide within 5 mins.

I took an appointment for 6:30 pm and the doctor came 1 hour late. Also, preference was given to some other known person despite I was the first person to take appointment.
In addition, the doctor didn't bother to check the previous health reports, neither he paid attention to latest MRI. Asked to get the X-ray done for bone strength at the hospital premises and the cost was too high. Instead of explaining the root cause of slip-disc he prescribed pain killer medicine and suggested to take an injection worth whooping ₹15k. I would suggest to give some time to patient and then explain the root cause of issue and the best possible solution. It'll be nice to check the previous history of patient and what all procedures one has gone through.
I know this is a bit negative experience and others could differ with me but honestly I respect doctors and their time.

asked to go for a scan which is 5 times higher than any other hospital / diagnostic centre. The same scan was already taken just a day before from another hospital. This is for a kid age of 11 years *** *** *** * ** **** ** *********** ** *** **** **** ****
Didn’t even touched or examined the patient and asked to get admitted in hospital for observation and also recommended a suite room that costs around 10k without any medication.
He didn’t even prescribed any medicine
Didn’t except such experience **** **** ** *********** ******
