Aasmi Skin & Multispeciality Clinic, Lake Town

I consulted Dr. Sayantani Chakraborty at ILS Hospital for my anal wart problem. She told me that RF removal would be done in two sessions and the total cost would be around ₹15,000–₹16,000. At that time she did not examine the area properly, even though examination is usually done during consultation. She asked me to come for the procedure at Ashmi Clinic.

When I called Ashmi Clinic to confirm, they told me the cost would be ₹20,000 for the two sessions. I told them that earlier I was told ₹15–16k, but they still said ₹20k. I still agreed and went for the procedure. When I reached there, I paid the full ₹20,000. After that they also charged ₹300 separately for numbing cream, which was not even used during the procedure.

When the doctor started the procedure, she said the wart was deeper inside and RF removal would not be possible. Instead, she said she would just take a biopsy sample and did that. After that, they refunded ₹10,000 to me. When I asked how it could cost ₹10,000 just for taking a small sample, the doctor said that anal wart biopsy usually costs ₹8,000–₹10,000.

If that was the case, the lab test should also have been arranged by them, but they asked me to get the biopsy test done outside. I had to pay another ₹4,000 for the lab test separately. When I went back with the biopsy report, they again charged ₹1,000 consultation fee, even though I had already paid earlier. When I questioned it and mentioned the ₹10,000 already paid, they returned the ₹1,000.

After seeing the report, the doctor referred me to another doctor . When I asked again why ₹10,000 was charged just for taking the biopsy sample, the receptionist said that it was very difficult to take a biopsy from that area and it caused a lot of difficulty during the procedure.
