Visited Dr. Satya Prakash Rai (Pulmonologist)
Had an exasperating experience when my wife was admitted at Kokilaben Hospital under the treatment of Dr. S P Rai for pneumonia. While it is an accepted practice of such so-called premiere hospitals to repeat all sorts of tests just to inflate the bill, especially if it is known that the patient is covered by medi-claim; this went a step further. They decided that a CT scan and a broncoscopy was necessary to be conducted for which my wife was made to fast (both solid & liquid) from 6.30 am in the morning. The CT scan was done at around 11.00 am and the broncoscopy was schedules for 3.00pm. However, they wheeled her into the prodecure room on around 4.00 pm, while I stayed outside. The nurse then called me to give company to my wife as the doctor was busy and that he would be coming in around half an hour. When there was no sign of the doctor even after two and a half hours, and as my wife was now complaining of dehydration, I inquired with the nurse about the doctor. The nurse stated that the doctor was busy attending OPD patients and that he would take time to come to do the procedure. As my wife could no longer bear the lack of fluid, we decided to cancel the procedure and asked the nurse to inform the doctor about the same. On this, the doctor came rushing in and started requesting that we allow the procedure to be done. When asked whether the doing of the procedure would, in any manner alter the treatment (of antibiotics) that she was already undergoing, the Doctor, unabashedly confessed that the treatment would still be the same. On be further inquired as to why he made the patient fast when he was attending OPD patients and why he didn't reschedule the bronchoscopy to another day if he was busy with the OPD patients, he had no answer. ** ** ****** ************* ** *** *** ********* ***** *** ** ******** ** ******* ** **** ********* *** **** *** ********* **** ********** ********* *** *******
Visited Dr. Falguni Parekh (Internal Medicine)
Please Please Please Do not go to her. Extremely Rude, Callous, Loud and unprofessional.
My mother was admitted twice under her care. Once in June this year for a gynaecology surgery ***** ** ********* ****** *** ********** which couldn’t be done due to detection of Aorta Arteritis and she was consulting as a medicine doctor and 2nd time now in September directly under her.
As a doctor she either speaks to her assistants when she visits your room or else doesn’t speak at all to you. Answering questions it seems is beneath her and so are all patients. You can expect her to be curt, interrupting, rude and loud in her behaviour. *** **** *** ****** ********* ******** *** ** *** **** ** ******* ****** ** *** ** **** ** ******** ********** ******** ** *** ******** *** ***** ** ******* **** ******
This time my mother was admitted directly under her supervision with breathlessness and high fever and after 4 days of treatment was discharged with cause unknown and a simple statement that she is ok now as her PET scan is clear. Please expect a battery of tests to be done wether required or otherwise. Her assistants are also such that they take your files very casually and when discharge is in morning 1030 am they shall submit the files to TPA after 5:30 pm in the evening. Of course you are charged for that day. So what huh!!
Today we consulted her again due to recurring low fever as to why this happened in just a few days after being treated at the hospital under her and were directed to our rheumatologist and gynaecologist. *** ********** ***** ******** ** ************** ******** ********* ****** *** ******* **********
Please do not consult this doctor ****** *** **** ******** ** *** ********** *** **** ***** **** ** ****** *****
Visited Dr. Abhijit Pawar (Orthopedic surgeon) For Neck and Spine Biopsy
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
My Father age 67 had chronic back pain for almost 6 months. He started limping with unbearable pain while walking. During these 6 months we consulated many doctors some suggested physiotherapy. We took physiotherapy sessions for 5 months every day. But the pain kept getting severe and we saw that he was losing control with his walk. So after multiple physiotherapy sessions and regular back MRI. We decided to book an appointment with Dr Abhijit Pawar in KokilaBen Hospital Mumbai. He was the first doctor to identify that the issue was not only with the lower back but also cervical which was even more critical. He immediately asked us to get an MRI done for neck this time and diagonised that we have to get both cervical and lumbar operated. He is a through professional , very hardworking and yet very ethical which his other patients would also confirm. After 1 month from getting operated for C3-C7 and L3-L4-L5 my father can walk upto 2 kms with ZERO pain and with ZERO support completely independent. Earlier even going to the washroom was painful. Dr Abhijit Pawar is very approachable and after having a word with his other patients his suggestion would be in the best interest of his patients. He will suggest surgery only if it is required. He has given my father a new life where his not dependent on anyone 🙏

Visited Dr. Abhijit Pawar (Orthopedic surgeon) For Spinal Disc Surgery
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
I am happy to share this review and would expect people to get most appropriate treatment from a very friendly doctor, Dr. Abhijit Pawar. I was having sheer pain with sign of emerging numbness on several parts of my right leg. With lots anxiety, I reached out to Dr. Pawar through his very helpful team of junior doctors, like Dr. Vivek and Dr. Sachin. Without any further delay, I had my discectomy done for the disk herniation between L5 and S1. From here onwards, it was simply a magic. The pain disappeared in no time. I got discharged on the very next day of my surgery. Though I was told precisely the after-surgery precautions. It’s a rest time for a month and then I am back to office. I thank Dr Pawar for his very cordial behavior and all ears listening to a person in pain, rather in distress. I also like to extend my gratitude to his team of young doctors with full of energy to hear any issues any time. They are really a team of professionally sound doctors with lots of human touch which today you seldom get in medical fraternity. God bless them.

Happy with: Treatment satisfaction
Thank you, Dr. Abhijit Pawar. We sought opinion from several doctors in all over Bombay and Pune regarding spine surgery of my dad, which is congenital in nature and the same was detected at the age of 65. The way you explained in simple words, to all of us, regarding surgery procedure and performed such a complicated surgery i.e., from C2-C-3 and occipital C-5 fusion etc. and within 2 days after surgery, my dad is walking all alone with confidence, is a big relief for all of us. This is extraordinary result. For us this is miracle, since we were scared of reading articles on Google knowledge on spine surgery for last two months. We have no words to express our feelings, you gave my dad a new life. Thanks!

Visited Dr. Falguni Parekh (Internal Medicine)
I cannot recommend this doctor enough. Dr Parekh has saved my father's life on two occasions with her perfect diagnosis- once by noticing his arrythmia and immediately referring to a cardiologist- he had a pacemaker inserted as a result. And at another time by treating him for pneumonia. Her nature is strict and no-nonsense, but that has had no bearing on the treatment. It pains me to see people posting negative reviews because of her nature. She is easily among the very best doctors I have ever met. As far as I know she is no longer consulting at Kokilaben.
Visited Dr. Anshumala Shukla Kulkarni (Gynecologist)
********** *************** Had to wait for hours after getting a confirmed appointment. Finally showed up two hours later and was entertaining MRs. There were patients waiting and when it was our turn in the line of patients she called in a celebrity out of turn!!! No ‘by your leave’ or apologies from the staff of Kokilaben. Gave up and got a refund (less registration charges) after close to 4 hours!!! ** **** *** ****** ** * **** ****** ******* Please avoid going to he* ** *** ***** **** ** ** ******* ** ******** 🙏🏽
Visited Dr. Tanu Singhal (Pediatrician)
I have never met a Doctor like her before. amazing, confident , knows her subject thoroghly and above all , fully confident upon her diagnostics and treatment. A great human being.
She successfully treated my grand daughter remotely from Mumbai and it was a fantastic experience indeed. Or else it would have been difficult for my grand daughter to make it to home from the hospital.
Excellent on Tropical disease- specially Meningitis infected children.
God bless her and provide her immense knowledge, courage, health and calmness so that she can serve the cause of children in India.
