Visited For Lower Back Pain
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
By virtue of the nature of my work (restoring vintage motorcycles) , lifting heavy weights was commonplace for me on a daily basis.
I have suffered lower back pain for a long time and it wasn't getting any better. I tried homeopathy and even yoga but there was little or no improvement.
At the behest of a common friend, I visited Dr. Aiyer's clinic in Chembur, despite me residing in faraway Andheri.
I was extremely frightened about my condition, and everyone I spoke to scared me even further. Dr. Aiyer, on the other hand, was calm and composed and explained everything in a very lucid manner.
He explained to me that I was only getting older and that I had to modify my routine to get better. I listened to him and a few weeks after the consultation, there has been a significant improvement. I wouldn't say that the pain has gone away completely but it is a mere quarter of what it was before. And it seems to be getting better with every passing day.
I would most definitely recommend this doctor to everyone I know for all of their back issues.
Visited For Musculoskeletal Pain Management

A shooting pain in my upper hand radiating towards my fingertips was troubling me for weeks. A common friend suggested meeting with Dr. Siddharth. In the first appointment itself he was able to zero in on the diagnosis. He prescribed medicines which worked like a charm. He also ensured to keep adjusting the dosage as per my pain and discomfort.
He also helped me with an exercise regimen to be followed so that the issue doesn’t recur. He always patiently listened to my issue and took time to explain to me. He was never in a hurry to get to the next patient and answered questions that me and my son asked

My line of work entails many hours of sitting at a desk working on a laptop. That, along with the long drives to work and home again, led to me developing a lower back pain that just refused to get better. Nothing seemed to help. Yoga, stretching, chiropractors, I tried them all.
Dr. Aiyer was recommended by a relative who had consulted him for a similar problem. Right from the word go, I felt that I had made the right decision of going to him. He advised changing my routine and also told me to get back to regular physical activity. The excess weight and constant slouching in the office chair were the main reasons for the lower back pain.
It's been almost 6 months now and the pain is negligible. If you are in the Chembur area and need to consult with a doctor for back issues, I would suggest getting an appointment with Dr. Aiyer.
Visited For Bone Trauma

I went to Dr Siddhart with my father-in-laws complain of pain in his right leg. We found Dr Siddharth very meticulous, empathetic and with high level of professionalism. He was very quick in his diagnosis and guided us to the right specialists. With the follow up treatment and specialist advice we were able to avoid an unnecessary operation. My father-in-law is very happy with the relief and the prescribe medication has made his quality of life much better.
I am very pleased with the top-notch care my father-in-law received from Dr Siddharth and have no doubt that I have a reliable and trustworthy Orthopedic surgeon in him.

I can say that I put my full trust in Dr. Siddharth as he’s someone who attended to my slip disc after I had already been to two docs and continued to be in pain. Dr. Siddharth was able to give me a very good and detailed diagnosis which eventually helped me get better.

I consulted Dr. Siddharth for my dads treatment of Multiple Myeloma. He was extremely helpful in explaining the implications of the disease and thereafter suggesting the best course of action. He recommended an extremely qualified and competent team for dads treatment which resulted a successful 8 months therapy for dad. An extremely practical and highly qualified doctor who comes in with global experience!!
Visited For Spinal Disc Surgery

A friend of mine suggested Dr. Iyer to me. I have prolapsed disc and have been living with it for 5 years now. L5-L4 and L5-S1 are the areas. Have tried various treatments including Ayurveda, Physiotherapy, Mackenzie. Usually it is difficult to get the attention of Doctors and very few give a detailed explanation. Dr. Iyer gave a very detailed explanation of the issue and focused on the importance of life style changes and Physiotherapy and exercise to improve the movement of the spine/back and to strengthen the back muscles to minimize the load on the spine. It has been 2 weeks now and there is significant improvement in the pain. More importantly it is a holistic healing process and now I am more aware of my condition, the limitations and the precaution to be taken and this helped a lot.
I would recommend Dr. Iyer to anyone with Spine related problems.
