Doctor is good in terms of diagnosis, right medication. Really god send for the patient.
But, on other hand the following are issues which you must be prepared to endure
1. Extremely long wait times... even 3-4 hours for 5 minutes consultation
2. Very high OPD + consulation charges - Rs. 4000/ 5000 and charge again if you even go with reports which their labs didnot give within the day.
3. Tend to send patients to Nanavati/ Jaslok where he is not available most of his time and his assistance tend to take patients on a long test/ ICU drive leading to high value bills.
4. He is mostly available in Sushrut Hospital Chembur. But this doesnot appear in hospitals listed under his name.
5. OPD desk only insists on cash payment for his conultancy? For all other bills it can be with UPI/ Cards.

Despite the long wait times and consultation fees, ** ** ******* ***** *** **** ******* ********** ** *** ******* *** one of the finest and most humble human beings you could meet. He is patient, answers your umpteen questions and is extremely kind. For those complaining about the wait time or his fees please understand the number of hospitals he visits in a day and his age. He could sit at home, retire and relax. But he's out there everyday and I am so grateful for that. He has given me immense strength and hope throughout my treatment. God bless him. He truly is a gem of a person

He is a very commercial doctor. Highly focused on his fees and extras for his attendants. He charged 3 times within 18 hours for just visiting to say 'ok' to things. A cancer patient who has come to Mumbai from all the way from Kanpur, is treated so rudely. My sister touched his feet as a thank you for being her doctor. His response was like a treatment of a helpless servant. He is a greedy doctor who charged 15k in a single day for consultation without even writing any prescription. He visits admitted patient without being called in order to increase his bills, that too charged based on the kind of room the patient is admitted.
