Visited For Gastroscopy
Happy with:Â Explanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
Excellent experience with Dr Palnitkar. I took my mother for stomach pain for which I was consulted at least 4 M. D. Doctors from Mumbai and Pune *** ** ******* ********** *** **** ***** *** ****** Changing medicines and asking for blood tests again and again.
Within 2 days of visiting Dr Palmitkar, he gave us correct diagnostic and I am very much thankful for his expertise advice.
Certainly, wait time more but if somebody wants expert advice spend more time here than wandering here and there for 1 year with correct diagnostic.
I recommand, Dr Palnitkar for all issues related to stomach.

I really had very good experience with this doctor ..nd I always recommend this doctor for everyone
Hoped for better:Â Wait time
I had a bad experience. 1st, the clinic was at a very seluded and dark place. There was no lift and it was at 4th floor. The patient had to climb up the staircase. The appointment was for 9:15 am, 19th Dec. There was no one except an attender. He called the doctor, and informed me very confidently and casually that the Doctor says he can't come now and you come in the evening. Much to his guts he even asked for my contact number for the evening visit.There was a severe lack no professionalism. If doctor was busy then the slot shouldn't have been visible on practo, or, it shouldn't have accepted the booking, or, the doctor should have cancelled the appointment before the actual appointment schedule.
Hoped for better:Â Treatment satisfaction
I went to him for my gastric problem. However, even after multiple changes in the treatment plan, my problem remained untreated. No doubt he listens to and explains the treatment and problem in depth but the main focus here is resolution which was nowhere reached.
Visited For Ulcerative Colitis
I took my mother to him for Ulcerative Colitis treatment. Dr. Sachin is quite good and experienced doctor. He listened to all of our concerns very patiently and explained the intricacies in detail.
He prescribed the treatment in a very systematic manner and it was worth the time and money visiting him.
I will definitely recommend Dr. Sachin.
