Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
Hello,
I have consulted Dr Sreekanth sir for fissures treatment, it was horrible pain, i was neither able to sit nor stand continuously.
Dr Sreekanth sir prescribed an ointment for local application, anti-biotic medicine , a pain killer ( only for 3 days, he specifically told) and laxatives for soften the stool and also suggested to take high fiber diet. It was quite impressive with in a week i got relief, but due to my natural tendency towards spicy foods it reoccurred after few days.
I consulted him again and asked him about having surgery to cure it permanently, He suggested not to opt surgery at this moment and asked me to have medication for few more days, suggested to have high fiber diet, avoid spicy food. He told that the main problem which caused fissures are constipation, it should be treated first, he told that even if you go for surgery it might reoccur if i have constipation in future.
This time he prescribe new ointment for local application, it worked amazingly, the fissure get cured in 2 weeks, now i am feeling good.
Thank you Sreekanth sir.

Visited For AppendicitisStomach Pain
Was having stomach ache over 3 days and thought better to visit the doc as I had to fly abroad. Doctor has checked and I realized i am havin pain at right side only and suggested an Ultrasound scan as symptoms of appendicitis are sometimes not shown fully. I didn't take a chance and immediately went for ultrasound and doctor has confirmed that I am having apendicites at initial stage. I went for the surgery(Laproscopic Appendisectomy) the next morning and it all went fine, got discharged the very next day. Hospital is exceptional and I recommend it.
Visited For Constipation Treatment
I have taken an appointment for consultation for my father aged about 74 years, actually he requires some counseling for his problem, Dr.Sreekanth has given ample time to him to listen his problem, he has given very good counseling to my father and Dr.Sreekanth has clarified all doubts with very patience, finally he prescribed only one medicine and diet suggestion. He is very good doctor and I strongly recommend. Here I have to refer about his assistant, the way he introduced himself is very nice and taken all required data about patient's history etc.- B.N.Murthy (patient name B.V.Ramana)
I got impressed with the doctor even before meeting him.......
The front office is cosy and can make a patient to relax. The diagnosis & testing room is not just spacious and state of the art it can imbibe kind of confidence in the patient that he is in right hands. Certain modern procedures being adopted for patient registrationsafety. ... shows the systems in place.
The Doctor is well qualified, Authority in subject, receptive, he has an eye for detail, good in explaining the case and professional in approach....
Visited For Bitter Taste in the MouthAcidityBurning Sensation in Stomach
I am really shocked to see so many postive reviews for this doctor. Just waste of your money. I've been to his shine clinic, he is late by 1 + hours for the appointment time.
Please note the below points of my experience
1) He suggested me endoscopy and have given me costliest and powerful medicines possible after endoscopy.
2) They haven't worked for me and I've got side efetcs too.
3) I was in banglore and didn't have my file and called clinic for help regarding my side effects. They deliberately told me that doctor will not speak over phone with out consultantion fee. Come to clinic else go to some clinic in banglore.
4)Initially he told me to stop the medicine after 2 months and I followed the same and my problem still remains same after using so costly and powerful medicines.
5) Please think twice before visiting him.
Help staff in the clinic is useless, inexperienced and rude.
Visited For GERDStomach PainBack Pain Treatment
Doctor's approach is good as all doctors do, but consultation is valid for only 10 days, but review is after 15 days, where we need to pay500 rs again if you come at 15 days. First and most important thing is that Practo is mentioning only positive feedbacks, i cannnot see any negative feedbacks. Probably you dont know this, whole world knows that Practo mentions only positive feedbacks (even not sure of reality). Practo needs to improve a lot in terms of transperancey, otherwise soon practo going to be dummy.
We went to hospital by 11.45 pm as our slot was 12.00 pm. We finished the formalities of providing the details within 10 minutes and pain an amount of Rs.450 as consultation fees. We waited till 1 pm to get our appointment with doctor as initially doctor went out for some work at 12 o clock and came back by 12.30 I believe. Then the PRIORITY patients were called inside his cabin although we were waiting for almost 1 hour. There is proper mechanism of sending the patients into doctor's cabin. We met doctor and he advised us to take the tablets which were prescribed by the old doctor.
My wife had an external hemorroid around anal area and had occassional inconvenience, pain during defacation. We initially consulted with a Gynacologist, she suspected files and given medicine for 10days and asked us to consult the general surgeon in the same hospital.
We were not satisfied with the answer and searched for gastroenterologist near kphb area and after reviewing good reviews about this clinic, we have consulted the doctor, though initially my wife was worrying about male doctor.
1)the doctor was very keen and looked at the issue and declared that the hemorroid indeed is a skinfold and the occassional symptoms she was having are common (after full day fasting)
2)prescribed medicine,a gel for 10days..
3)asked us to consult if again this repetes(problem during defecation.. any pain or blood on stool) during the time of issue so that he can do some tests..
Very good experience and we will refer this doctor.
All the very best Sreekanth sir for your valuable consultation, thanks again and wish you all the best in your carreer.

Long back I heard about Dr. Sreekanth's working nature towards patients and I too observed in my last visit that how he is being interacting with patients & How treating them with friendly nature.
The Reporting Structure for my Health Checkup are clearly understandable, even a lay-man can understand.
Everything looks Cool and Awesome.
