I have taken my father to Dr. Pai as he was suffering from Constipation and one of my relative has suggested his name.
when we visited him, his assistant took all his history as Dr. Pai was not there. once he came he advised us to do some testing like endoscopy, colonoscopy which we had already done before and every thing was normal. but as per Dr. Pai he want himself to see personally and then only he can start the treatment. Although these were costly tests but we decided to go ahead and do the testing hoping to get good treatment.
We did the tests next day and Dr. Pai himself has done these tests. once the tests were done, the nurse after some time gave us the reports stating every thing is normal. Doctor didnt bothered to meet either patient or us to discuss his findings and next line of treatment and left the hospital. when we enquired about him the staff told that he has already left and he has not given any instructions for you. When we insisted to get his opinion he gave the message that tell them to continue their existing treatment.
We want Dr. Pai to reply to my comment as any patient comes to him hoping to get good treatment.
