My father in law Mr.Chunilal Shah met with cardia arrest and already 2 doctors had denied for bypass surgery as his heart was functioning 30% and he being diabetic., but when consulted Dr.Panda , he was confident about the bypass surgery in such conditions also. The surgery was successful and the treatment was absolutely 100% satisfactory and worth it. The whole staff is very co operative and they maintain very high standards and protocol. As they felt for discharge they didn't even wasted a single day and the patient went home with smiling face. I strongly recommend Dr.Panda for any Heart related issues, its a ONE STOP SOLUTION, without any 2nd thought.

My father was diagnosed with six plaques in his arteries. We went to Dr. Ramakant Panda hoping for our queries to be resolved, ***** *** ********* ****** *** ********** We were made to wait for over 7 hours to meet him, and the fees charged was 11K. Can you imagine? 2K just for him to review the angio CD. He dismissed us in 5 minutes, did not even watch my father's CD, and refused to answer any questions. He is extremely rude and unconcerned, *** ********** *** ***** **********. Please reconsider in case of emergency and otherwise, and DO NOT visit this overpriced, ***** ****** *** ******** ** *** ***** Strong and sincere advice from a concerned daughter.
