Visited For Bronchitis
I have been visiting him from 2006 and referred many to him, he is good, *** ************** but from last few years seems turned more money minded and commercial. the tests at the hospital are more expensive, for Ex: Chest PNS X-ray and Skull X-ray, they are charging 640/-. normally for both it is below 250/- at out side.
and seems prescribing CT scans more frequently and insisting the patients to go only Vijaya Diagnostic center, Basheerbagh or Focus punjagutta .
and sells surgical masks (patient should buy at hospital), at 10/-, the cost of the mask is 2/- at wholesale. even it is Rs. 5/- at yashoda hospitals. and levy 2% extra charge on credit cards. and force the patients to buy the medicines at the hospital only.
and for every 6 or 12 months, consultation fee is been hiked by 100/-, if you do not visit 12 months (from last visit), need to pay 100/- extra for consultation.
you need to remember the above things before visit him

Am being a NRI, in smple words, he is not recommended doctor. I have never visited such doctor in my life. He thinks he is doing free service even when I paid him fee. Wrote All the recommended tests ** ******** I have visited many indian doctors before.
Didnot explain properly my problem.
All tests are performed in his office. All tablets that he writes are sold in his office.
Ask him why are these tablets prescribed and he has no answer. Just gets irritated. ******* *** ** ** * ******* ********* ******* ** ************* I said him the same thing. Hope he treats patients with some respect atleast after this review.
Consulted for chronic cough and I got temporary relief after using 3 months his prescribed costly medicine. But again I got the chronic cough once i terminated medicine.
He does not speak much and does not allow patient to explain in details as he feels that he is wasting time. Gets irritated and very impatient behaviours.
His consultation fee are high, ****** *** **** ** ********* ************** *** * * ******** *************
Charges for filing the reports and for masks.
The location is not fit for conducting health centre activities as there is intolerable fouling drainage smell from outside.
Hoped for better: Wait time
Practice starts taking appointments from 11 a.m. but the doctor actually arrives at 11:30 a.m. and even though u book an appointment over practo, the doctor will see on first come first serve basis. Timings are the bad and they even charge 2% on card payments.
Visited For Tuberculosis
I went to hospital with my parents. The staff took all the existing reports and came to me to pay an amount of 2000rs. I asked what is the consultation amount? They said its 600.then why shud I pay 2k.. they replied saying to analyze the reports..I had an argument with them and came bak. Money minded hospital...I can say only that.
