Patient Stories for Dr. Vijay Panikar
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessTreatment satisfactionValue for money
Dr Panikar is awesome. I have been going to him for the past two years. The thing is - he has always lot of patients - so one feels a little "off" getting past the process of getting your body parameters checked, data filled up, and meet up with the other required doctors as the case may be (Eye, ECG, etc). But believe me, it is still managed quite well, considering the number of patients who troop in daily to the Doctor.

Visited For Type 2 Diabetes Treatment
Don't ever recommend him if you really want to get genuine treatment. I have been observing him for quite a few months now, nearly more than a year. His two assistants keep constantly interrupting him with their own patients & doubts and queries, when he is personally diagnosing someone. This completely breaks his link. Also this time he also invited another doctor inside who had just come to meet him casually and was more distracted with all this rather than treating my mom who had very high levels of almost everything in her reports this time. Her sugar levels high post lunch and this so call doctor prescribes her half a tab of her anti-diabetic pill when usually he prescribes 1 and with 1 tab itself her sugar level is high so isn't the dosage supposed to increase. Also, every doubt and query I asked him he kept taking it very lightly and carelessly saying "its okay, itna hi hai naa." or saying "diabetes ke wajah se hai" I know its because of diabetes or low haemoglobin or whatever. Don't give me obvious answers which I know through my education and through the internet, being a doctor consult effectively and find a solution or else sit at home. Do not play with your patient's life. How about if someone played with his life or his family member's life? how would he feel? I didn't expect this from such a senior doctor. All bogus and money making business. Doctors who treat their patients without being honest to their work and conscious should be ashamed of themselves and have no right to live in this world in the first place as they are one of the few people who are equivalent to God and actually hold a person's life in their hands apart from God.
