Everything is so systematic in this hospital. They investigate you first, then they get your vision checked also known as refraction and then the Doctor check.
Every single person right from the reception staff to the Doctor is very soft spoken and they always greet you with a smile.
I was a little scared at first as my eyes were paining from last so many days and I’d seen many Doctors in Pune who scared me a lot but Dr. Vardhman diagnosed my issue and said something that really made me believe that I’m fine.
He said “ just that you’ve come doesn’t mean you need to be treated. You’re absolutely fine just take some precautions and you’ll have go get your eyes checked after 6 months. We’ll observe your problem first and then we’ll go with the treatment if required.”**** ******* *** **** ******** ** ****** *** **** *** ******** ** ************
I strongly recommend Dr. Vardhman to everyone who’s planning to get his eyes checked, even if it’s regular checkup and if you’re planning to get it operated\treated you must consult him once.

I am so happy after surgery. Before the surgery i was in so much trouble because of blur vision, but now my vision is absolutely crystal clear. I will suggest to my friends and relatives for this hospital. I am from Mumbai, and there are also so many eye hospital but this hospital is very much advance in technology, surgery procedure is too much safe and well trained doctor. Surgery as done very good by Dr. Vardhaman kankariya. Staff an doctors are very cooperative and kind in nature. I just want to suggest one thing to Dr. that please visit once in week to Sanapada Navi Mumbai branch it will very help for their patient also.

Unfortunately a bad experience for us. I called to move my appointment to 3:30 instead of 3 (20 Sept) in case I couldn't make it in time due to the traffic (heavy rains in Pune yesterday). They happily obliged. Some facts that support our unfortunate experience:
1) A lack of prior information on how much time a person needs to reserve for the series of tests, doctor and counsellors meetings that they need to undertake. We met five (one initial tester, one person who queried the history, the doctor, the counselor who explained the packages and then another tester) different people (in different rooms btw) in total and it would have been 6 if I didn't rush off because I had no more time to use in this strange setup. It was a long, arduous process. All in all we spent 2.5 hours in this hospital, and the meeting with the doctor was roughly 5 minutes.
2) Prolonged wait time and a lack of common courtesy. We waited for the doctor for 40 minutes instead of the 20 they originally advised. Met him at exactly 4:42, for a whole 5 minutes (yay!) probably would have been lesser if I didn't ask him questions. Not even an iota of an apology by the doctor for being late or keeping us waiting. It was also clear that the consultation was very rushed as we were passed on to other people to give us more information.
3) lack of attention * ********* ****** over patient needs: the original purpose of our visit was persistent red eyes. This was asked and subsequently noted in the system by checker #2 we met before the doctor as our key concern. However the doctor either didn't read the notes or if he did, didn't care to mention anything about it. I had to ask him for a solution to this problem. It appeared that he was more concerned about the cataract and that we need to speak to this other person who can discuss the packages for the operation to us, and get so and so tests done because they're important relating to the nature of the cataract. I get it that the cataract in one eye is important, but we also had another concern, the main one (eye redness) for which we came - shouldn't you follow your own processes and ask the patient what their issue is if you don't have time to read notes? Another thing was drops were placed in our eyes by the second person (for 20 minutes we had to keep it, which was the wait time for the doctor as well) to assess the health of the retina. No one said anything about how the retina is or the after effect of the drops. I had to ask the doctor this as well. I feel I would have had no information had I not forced it out. That was all the 5 minutes he gave us initially.
We went and took these tests which cost us 1200 rupees. We got the report and no one attempted to give us any information on what the report entailed (there were many numbers, emboldened and otherwise).
I had to demand that it is explained upon which the counselor said this was a test that will be useful when my mother has the surgery something which we did not even agree to yet. Felt a bit taken advantage of at that time (1200 rupees is a lot of money). Upon my insistence she set up a meeting with the doctor who explained the first line to me..I then asked for the explanation of the rest of the report and the response was (verbatim) "I will refer it to another fellow as it would take me three years for me to explain and for you to understand, anyway I have given you the key points" to which my response was "I think as a consumer I deserve to know the results of a report I've paid for" to which he asked me to speak to this other doctor so he can explain it to me. By this time I felt that my money was unnecessarily spent and insulted as well, like I am wasting the doctor's precious time because I would like to understand the detail of the report. I just left then without speaking to the other doctor because it was very late and I was extremely disappointed with this institution and I just wanted to be out of there.
4) Poor hygiene on the toilets of their "platinum lounge", which is dangerously close to the "hospital" where the operated eye patients are. Wish they focused more on patient well being through good hygiene (lesser germs) instead of the evidently hefty investment made in decorating the place and putting up accomplishments pictures, awards and large flat screen TV projections of the Doctor being interviewed by the media.
So reader, maybe it was just an unfortunate day and they are actually good at what they do, but I will never know because I ain't going there again.

Happy with: Doctor friendlinessWait time
The doctor is good no doubt, it's the support staff that is very disappointing. We had visited the hospital for my mothers cataract surgery on 20th oct. The counsellor did not explain to us the difference between Indian and imported lenses, did not help us in making our choice at all, information regarding medicines was not given, that created a lot of problems and confusion last minute, insurance staff is unprofessional, they forgot to process our insurance until i started sending mails, they don't even bother to respond to their phone number. A very good setup and doctor marred by highly untrained and unmonitored staff. Please take a lot of personal responsibility when visiting next time. Staff mocks patients and kins who do Google search for information, but fail to understand that it's because they don't give the information to the patients.

I have done cataract surgery from Dr Vardhman sir for my father in law (both eyes), my father (both eyes) and my grandfather (one eye). Doctor is so nice and very talented. He treats every patient with very friendly. First time in my life I met such a great doctor who treats every patient as his own family member. He is always very concerned about patient condition. H** ******* *** **** **** ********** ** ** *** ** *** **** ******* Hospital staff is really really good. He is not like other doctors. But Dr Vardhman is such a nice and sincere doctor. He has not advised any unnecessary tests for my grandfather because in first test only he found that my grandfather's left eye is not at functional. He is very sincere and very supportive. He tells everything in detail and problems also. He is really very good doctor and I recommend him without any doubt in my mind.
Once again big thanks to doctor!!!!
It was amazing experience at the asian eye hospital, we were wrongly told by another doctor that my mother is suffering from diabetic macular edema and only 10% vision is left in right eye and needed to do a retinal injection. But here after thorough examination and performing OCT it was confirmed that the eyes are fine. We were very joyful after this confirmation.
The staff and Doctors are so professional and give you a proper guidance rather then other business running doctors. I highly recommend Dr Shrutika and Asian Eye Hospital.
As I visited to Asian eye hospital with the rk process done in the year 1996 where my vision was still not proper after going through the rk process. As I visited to Asian eye hospital 27th Feb 2017 where as doctor spoke to that I have got cataract in both eyes coz of this my vision was not clear, I was completely satisfied with the information provided by the doctor. Than I took a decision to go under the producer and for now I am completely as like a free bird, no complaints anymore. Doctor has done the impossible thing possible in my case where he saved my vision completely. would like to thanks doctor for my wonderful life. thanks.

I was extremely myopic patient with power of -15 and I could see 6/12 with spects. After operation my vision is as good as spects. My right eye vision is extremely improved with residual no -2 only. Dr Vardhaman sir has wide experience of treating such complicated cases and problem has been solved to greatest extent. if any body wants to do refractive surgery i would recommend others to do it with Dr Vardhaman sir as he is a proven Dr in refractive surgery in India. My best wishes to Dr Vardhaman sir.
