A doctor who is friendly, young and energetic in his approach towards people with various digestive and intestinal trouble. Gives attention to all previous tests and decides to take test only incase they are inconclusive . Explains on paper the exact problem and gives excellent remedy. My Nephew (21 years) underwent Endoscopy, Apendectomy and colonoscopy in 3-4 hospitals and more than 7-8 weeks hospitalization in Villupuram(TN). During this tenure he had to appear his final year Diploma exams also. His biopsy were sent for possibilities of Chron's disease or Tuberculosis (verbally I was told of cancer also). Whole family was depressed. But they could not conclude. So, another colonoscopy was to be performed. Already, I had nearly spent 1L in his hospitalisation. My uncle from Malaysia had got cured after treatment with Dr.Kothari and suggested me to see him. As soon as his stiches were removed, I decided to fly him to Pune via Chennai. Dr. Kothari had to perform the 2nd colonoscopy for Biopsy. After going through the reports, he gave us hope that none of the previously said possibilities existed. There is definitely swelling in his small intestine and can be controlled with medicines. Eventhough he stayed in hostel, ate Dr.Kothari's medicines and now after 5 month's my nephew has gained weight. Whole family is thankful to Dr.Kothari for getting us out of the depressive situation. Jai Mata Di! We always pray that in his career he brings peace and harmony to many people suffering from gastric/digestive system issues. All the best.
Visited For Constipation, Gas, Acidity Treatment
After seeing multiple doctors, I finally found the right help with Dr. Rahul Kothari. He took time to understand my acidity and bloating issues in depth instead of rushing. The treatment plan is slow but effective because it targets the root problem, not just symptoms. He is very approachable and encouraging, making you feel confident about recovery.
