My relation with Dr Hemant Kulkarni goes back to more than 10 years when I met him during cardiac issue of my mother. His personal attention and advice helped us to get her out of the danger and since that moment on, every meeting with him and Dr Soumya grew our mutual trust/respect and now resulted into the family friendship. The care and advice given by both of them helped me take some major medical decisions for all my family members. The every decision taken came out to be a great one which was possible only because of the expertise and genuine concern shown by them in well being of our family.
Today the trust has came to this level that even my in laws come all the way from Belgaum to take his advice.
Their easy accessibility & neat / very well maintained clinic add further more points in their great health care service.
Thanks Dr Hemnat & Dr Soumya for being the great support for all our family medical care. You will remain my first and final stop for all my family healthcare needs.

Visited For Dizziness
This is the feedback by my parents. It was in July 2017. My father was not getting enough sleep after a road accident & mom was there to show diabetes related guidance. The doctor has no time to see the reports. He's not attentive to your explanation of symptoms. In between he took phone call of other patients. Found out time to sign receipts. He's always in a hurry to see the next patient. Most of the times he sees 3 patients in 3 different cabins. I thought he recommends few tests which can be avoided. He recommends spcific patholabs too. Not a good experience at all.

Its worst & money waste to go there. Doctor is always in hurry. If you want to tell something he is never listening you. He is just giving own diagnosis with out any test to be done. Even if its not cure and if you visiting him again. He is not concern at all. I visited 3 times but no help.
Finally one say i was in sever pain and called dr for appointment and visited.but literally i was sitting outside for an hour and begging the receptionist to let me go inside i am in severe pain. But they didnt allow me in this situation. I was even crying still they didnt show any mercy. Finally i get out of samarth clinic and visited aditya birla emergecy department.
These people don't have something like emergency and can't understand pain then why they open a clinic

Staff is arrogant and incompetent and rude!
Firstly they will give u appointment and then they will make u wait and then the Doc will come late and then half of the time he will be in room number 1 . So you have to wait. Ten minutes what he will give you he will attend talents one call of 4-5 minutes......

Very bad experience in my life. I went there with fever and his staff gave me an appointment. But when i entered his examination room, he called his staff and scolded them in front of me for giving appointment. I was not in that health condition to react.DONT GO THERE.
Very bad, it seems to be practice being followed by doctor to directly send the patient for costly tests to their preferred diagnostic center which is nearby to his clinic through which they would be definitely getting some kind of commission.
Even that diagnostic center is not at all up to the mark for any kind of test.
I am really disappoint that I have wasted money on the tests which was not required at this stage and should not have listened to this doctor.

Dr. Kulkarni is very experienced and his treatment is to the point. I realized that Dr is very good at understanding the symptoms and advising the medicine. I am so happy that Dr. Kulkarni's clinic is very near to our locality, and it is a blessing for the people living in this locality.
Thanks!

I and my family have been consulting Dr. Kulkarni for the last 5 years. We find him an attentive listener and his ability to correctly diagnose is very high. He explains what to do and how to take care. I highly recommend his as a family doctor as well as for diabetes, thryroid and hypertension.
