Continental Hospitals

My mom was admitted at Continental hospital with COVID. Her saturation was at 60 and she needed to be placed on ventilator. We were in the US and with the dire situation of COVID in India- could not travel to India immediately. Dr. Pradeep was very accommodating with our requests. He used to do whatsapp calls every day providing us health status of my mom. He clearly explained the situation and was transparent with his treatment/ risks associated with the plan. Initially my mom was in Bipap and showed improvement but later deteriorated and needed ventilator. Dr handled the emergency situation with precision and ensured she was given the best care. When we travelled to India, I met him the first day. Dr explained all the reports and the trends in reports. While he was treating the lungs, my mom also had various infections that were presented which complicated the situation. He was proactive in his treatment approach by monitoring all the organs and providing the best treatment. I can assure you that if not for Dr Pradeep my mother would not have survived the 30 days in the hospital. Even during discharge she needed oxygen support at home and he intimated us of the requirements ahead of the time so that we had time to procure them as there was dire shortage of concentrators and oxygen cylinders in May 2021. I had other friends parents go through COVID treatment at other hospitals with other doctors with terrible experiences. We are blessed to have found Dr. Pradeep as my mom's pulmonologist. Even after discharge, Dr has helped us coordinate the appointments and has been treating my mom with utmost care and excellence. My mom has high respect for the doctor since he is patient with her and her questions. He answers every question without any irritation and helps her navigate the treatment seamlessly. He is very kind and I would highly recommend Dr Pradeep as a Pulmonologist. In fact, I told every single person I met since my mom contracted COVID about Dr Pradeep and recommended meeting him for treatment. Thank you doctor for saving my mom and providing continual guidance as she navigates post COVID issues.

We came to Dr. Rajasekhar Reddy for the treatment of my mother. We are very blessed to have met him. My mother is 80 years old and a diabetic. She was suffering from severe strobing leg pain and numbness for the past 10 years. The pain was so severe that she could barely walk, let alone do any of the daily activities at home. We had consulted many doctors who had diagnosed the condition as peripheral neuropathy. As years went by her symptoms became more severe. So, we finally thought of consulting a neurosurgeon and searched on Practo to find *** **** neurosurgeon in Hyderabad. Out of 50 odd doctors, we were very impressed by Dr. Rajasekhar Reddy’s profile. We booked an appointment in Continental Hospitals, Nanakramguda and took my mother for consultation. His demeanour was very pleasant and he was very cordial towards us. We explained in detail about my mother’s medical history. He listened carefully and patiently. Then he looked into the MRI and examined my mother. Following which he explained to us that she was suffering from spinal stenosis, which has been causing the problem all these years. He explained that surgery (Lumbar Laminectomy) is the best viable option. Although he pointed out that surgery could only eliminate 50-60% of the symptoms and told us not to expect of 100%. We applaud him for his honesty.

Then he gave us a thorough explanation about surgery and mentioned that although there could be complications with this type of surgery they are very rare. After which he answered all our queries and cleared all our doubts. Sure enough when we left his room our confidence in him increased immensely and we knew at that instant that we made the right choice. Finally, we went on with the surgery. On surgery day he made sure my mother was in the right place mentally. He boosted her morale and assured her that there is nothing to worry about. The surgery was a success. Sure enough, there have been no complications. It has been a week and I am delighted to say that my mother’s symptoms have decreased by more than 70%. We are very grateful to Dr. Rajasekhar Reddy.

I am writing this review to help others experiencing similar issues and convey gratitude to the Doctor and his team for saving lives. My wife aged 36 yrs experienced frequent headaches recently and

sometimes she was becoming blank minded for a moment and don't know what's happening inside her body for a minute. She gets sweat all

over the body for a moment and she was fine after that. This happens twice or thrice a day for some days and no symptoms at all for some days. We came to know very lately that these are seizures in Brain. We consulted the Doctor in USA and explained the symptoms. After listening to the symptoms US Doctor

said it was a panic attack due to the COVID situation as we are hearing lot of news about COVID in news as well as in social media.US Doctor

prescribed her anxiety disorder medicine for a month. Even after using that medicine we don't see a change in her health condition.

We moved back to India and took the right decision to consult Dr.Rajashekar Reddy garu *** ** *** **** ***** ******** ** ********* ******* ** *********** **********

Once after undergoing MRI tests we came to know that my wife had a Ependymoma tumor in the right temporal lobe of the brain. We all were shocked to hear the news but we have to accept the truth. We acted fast and decided to go for the surgery immediately. Doctor Rajashekar Reddy garu explained very clearly on the surgery procedure and kind of equipment they use for the surgery and complications. He completed half of his treatment by bringing postiveness towards seeing the problem giving lot of boost to the patient. We were very confident after this visit. He has the best team for the surgery. His Personal Secretary Ravi took care of all insurance and admin related activities which I need not to worry about and thanks is not enough for his support. Mr. Basil and Dr.Ahmed took care of surgery related activities with a smile on their face all the time. She undergone surgery and it was so successful that my wife able to talk immediately after such a major surgery.

I strongly recommend Dr Rajashekar Reddy garu for your consultation for any Brain or spine related issues and Continental Hospitals having world class medical equipment.

I have disc dislocation & spine related problem. Explained my past related pain issues too. My question to doctor was what could be the reason of my pains. Doctor was very impatient & not giving time. He keeps telling is there still more to listen. He wanted to wrap up the meeting within 2 minutes. Also doctor said only 3 sentences- 1) change your behaviour to conclude yourself.(I didn't conclude & utter a single word because I don't have MBBS knowledge.2) you IT guys are f,o,o,l,s, take f,o,o,l,i,s,h(these words are not taken here hence I'hv put ,) decisions that what kind of treatment you should undergo.(unnecessary words he on me).3) without MRI i can't say anything.Prescribed my previous same medication ****** * **** ***** ******* ***** **** ***** * ***** ** ** ******** ** ** ********* ******** ******** ** ** ******** *** ******* ** ******** ** *** ***** *** **** ******* ****** ** **** * *************** ****** ** ******* ******* **** * **** **** *** ***** ********* ** **** *** *** *** ******* ** *** **** *********** As doctor was not speaking anything on possibilities of my prob, at last I asked a single question- what is hamstring tendinopathy. He said 'nerve starts from L2'. That's it. ** ***** **** ********** **** Though it's spine specialist. I suggest to everyone that pls don't visit this doctor. ** ********* * no proper behaviour with patients & doesn't give time to us to explain our problem though the fees is 1000/- per sitting. ******* ********** ** *** ********* ********* ** ********** ****** ******* ** **** **** doctor should make patient understand a little bit what is what & make the patient worry less *** *** ****** **** ***** ******

My daughter was born in continental hospital and Dr Avash was assigned to her as her pediatrician. She was well and everything was normal for the first 3 days and we were discharged from the hospital. Right after we reached home, we saw red flakes in her stool and called the hospital. They suggested to come to hospital emergency ward. Ultrasound was done and it came out normal however we were asked to admit her to the hospital. They did a couple of test and stool test which came out normal but he wanted to keep her under observation without any explanation. **** **** *** ****** *** *** ** ** ******** ** *** ******** *** **** *** ** ******* *********** ***** ***** ***** ********** ** ****** ** ** **** ***** ******* **** ***** ** *** *** *** *** ******* ***** ****** ** ***** ***** ******* ******** ** ********* he then suggested another stool test to check the ph, again no explanation of what was going on. ** **** **** ** *** ***** ***** *** ***** ***** ********** ******* ***** **** * ***** ******* *** **** ******* *** *** ********* *** ******** ********* *** **********

Dr Laxminadh Sivaraju is a very humble, professional and experienced neuro surgeon in Continental hospital Hyderabad.

We have consulted him for a Trigeminal neuralgia problem for my mother-in-law, as before surgery she had seviour unbearable pain with a lot of other health issues, Dr Laxminadh sir done MVD surgery to her and he was very professional in explaining the detail of the problem and the surgery implications coz we were little skeptical about opting for a surgery initially. Only with his expert guidance and confidence we went ahead and got the surgery done and now my mother-in-law is recovering very well post the treatment. Dr keeps in touch with us regularly and tracks the recovery and progress, he always help and guide, even in an emergancy at midnight he helped for sudden health issue very nicely,

Wish you all the best Dr Laxminadh Sivaraju sir for your future endeavors.

We are lucky to have such doctors like you in our country, who really justifying the role as a doctor, we must say doctors are second god on earth.

My father who is a surgeon himself is 82 years old and had a fall in March 2021. We took him to emergency in Continental hospital and got CT done which showed subdural hematoma. We consulted Dr Rajshekhar Reddy and he counselled us and told us that he will have to go for surgery (craniactomy). My Dad was on blood thinners and had stiff neck(leading to tough intubation) so it was a difficult surgery at his age and we were very anxious...I requested for a repeat scan to be doubly sure. Dr Reddy took the time to calm my nerves and explained in detail the procedure, pros and cons. In the end the surgery went well l. I got to a point where I could totally trust his judgement..he was also ensuring that the nursing staff is taking full care post surgery. Dr Reddy is not only superb at his craft but a great human being, he was so humble and respectful towards my Dad. Today only I showed him the follow-up CT scan and he was very happy to see that everything is fine..he told me 'You made my day'..he was more happy than me after seeing the results. Dr. we will be ever grateful to you.

Doctor jyothi garu,I don't know where to start and how to describe a person who has so much patience and is down to earth. I had an emergency in 8 th month during my second delivery.The way she took care was unforgettable, she was like knowing and updating the nurses regularly on what to be done and what medication to be given. I mean I use to wonder on how she could remember me so continuously even while not at hospital. On the day of my delivery she was so with me that, all my fear was controlled. Above all the best part is that she asked me about my favourite music and had asked the staff to play it during my surgery. That was the best experience above all :). Had bad experience with a doctor for my first delivery in the same hospital. But my second was so memorable,all because of doctor jyothi. Please please please all the would be mom's go and see jyothi garu once ,that's all,the rest she will take care. One more point that I have to mention, so far I have seen all department doctors(one in every department almost)in continental,none use to interact or come and ask if the so called patient had come or not,but she does that. She remembers our status on what to be done for our next visit. Finally please do not pass your time in searching for gynecologist everywhere else. *** ** *** *****

We had travelled all the way from Patna upon recommendation for the hospital and it was assured by the doctors that the required surgery was a 10 min job to be done under LA. however for unexplained reason the surgery went on for 1.5 hours and my mother was taken under GA.

* ***** ** * **** *** ******* ** ***

even if I decide to make my peace with that the doctor assured she can be discharged and could travel back the next day and that he would follow her up at every step on phone/video calls.

Since the day we've travelled back the doctor has been unresponsive to our calls and messages and not to mention the patient isn't getting any better. The assistant however was responding once in a while but it was in vain. We aren't even sure whether the surgery was done successfully or not cz we can't see any results in the patient.

Doctor himself has been trying to avoid getting in touch.

Dropping the review cz thats the least that we can do right now.** ******* ** *** ******* **** **** ******** ** **** ** ****** ** **** ** **** ****** **** ****** ********* * ******* *** *** *** * *********

I had been suffering from IBS from almost 13 years. In 2018, after one sigmadioscopy and tests, one Doctor confirmed that it is collitis for me. I started taking treatment for collitis (mesacol mainly). Was ok till 2020 Apri, with regular exercises and all. I had stopped mesacol and was managing with homeopathy, when in April 2020, I had the recurrence of the problem and it was severe this time. I visited some allopathic doctor and almost same medicines were prescribed along with a steroid also. I felt relief and then I again moved to ayurveda. Though there was relief but one of the main symptoms was still there. After reading some reviews on Practo, I went to Dr. Raghuram, just as a trial, in Dec 2020. The way he talked and explained the disease was very nice. I was very much comfortable after his explanation of the disease and the suggested course of action. He did the colonoscopy after some days and then explained me my problem, which no doctor had done so clearly till now. He also made it clear that this is not a fully curable disease, and we have to maintain it with little medicines. He did not write too many medicines, rather he was reluctant to give many medicines / tablets. He only gave the bare minimum needed for me. Following those medicines, I feel lot of relief in part 2.5 months. The symptom which I was assuming is not at all curable, is also cured to a large extent. The doctor is very patient and listens to the patient a lot. Even in corona times, when most doctors are even afraid to touch the patients, he examines my stomach every time. I am happy with the treatment provided.
