Happy with: Doctor friendlinessTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyExplanation of the health issue
I am 42 years old male and I was diagnosed with CTO. This is the same block which was treated with stent 5 years ago and completely blocked now. I delayed regular check up by 2 years due to covid, which proved be fatal.
When I knew about my condition, me and my family were very much worried and concerned as we heard that bypass surgery will be the only option to treat this condition, CTO with prior stent.
But when I met and talked to Dr. Sudhir Koganti at Citizens Hospitals, Hyderabad, I got lot of confidence felt very safe. Even before treatment, just interacting with him made me feel safe. On 9Feb2022, he performed very complex stenting procedure and opened the block. I later came to know that he is one of the very few doctors who can perform this kind of complex stenting procedure in whole of India, and also the equipment he used is pretty rare in India. The procedure was big success, and I was discharged next day.
I am extremely happy, satisfied and thankful to Dr.Sudheer. He has vast experience as Interventional Cardiologist and highly qualified, I feel lucky that I met Dr.Sudheer. He is friendly, approachable and understands patients concerns. He was considerate at the time of billing also. Cost was significantly less compared to other hospitals.
The whole experience of admitting to hospital to discharge was hassle free. Thanks to Mr.Ganesh, personal assistant of Dr.Sudheer. Right from diagnosis, he was with us. Hospitalization with critical disease is traumatic experience for any patient and family members. But Ganesh made me and my wife feel very comfortable and took care of all administrative things. He followed up and arranged all the necessary things at the hospital. He was very empathetic and always available. Thanks to him, I never felt that anxiety of being in hospital.
The staff in ICCU are professional and caring. Food from canteen was good and tasty. My overall experience of Citizen Hospital was very good.

Dear Dr. Jyoti Kankanala,
I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the extraordinary care and expertise you provided to my mother (Renuka Devi) during her recent treatment and surgery. Considering her multiple health challenges — including menopause-related complications, Hepatitis B, cirrhosis of the liver, and her below-knee amputation — we understand it was an extremely high-risk and complex case.
Your skill, intelligence, and compassionate approach gave us immense confidence throughout this difficult time. We are especially grateful for the meticulous attention you gave during the procedure, including the on-table biopsy coordination with the oncology team. It truly reflected your dedication and commitment to ensuring the **** possible outcome for your patients.
A special thanks also to Dr. Lavanya for her consistent support, kindness, and attentive care during the entire process. Both of you made a tremendous difference in my mother’s recovery and in giving our family comfort and hope.
Thank you once again for your exceptional service and for handling such a challenging case with such grace and professionalism. We remain deeply appreciative of your efforts.
Visited Dr. Deepak Sharma (General Surgeon) For Vasectomy
Hoped for better: Explanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
I went for consultation with Dr Suresh Chandra, regarding vasectomy operation. Unfortunately he sent me to an another doctor Dr Deepak Sharma. I went through the operation next day. During the operation the senior doctor along with a junior doctor Sruti handled operation so roughly. Surprisingly, the doctor had no patience even wait for Anastasia begin to work and immediately started operating. I was literally under so much painful situation. This is part one.
Part two: I went to hospital again to get the stitches removed after 6 days. Here the nurse Ms Sumati is such a buzy person that in 45 seconds she removed 4 stitches. You can imagine how careful she might be while removing the stitches. As a consequence, two stitches were still attached inside the scrotum. Nurse told doctor that everything is fine and the doctor didn't care to look at the condition. After two days I was still feeling uncomfortable and pain has started, immediately I visited our office doctor and he removed two stitches under the skin which were not removed earlier by the nurse. We have documented this.***** ******* ***** *** ********* *** ******* *** ****** *** ********* *** ******* **** *** ********* ** **** ** ******* * ******** ** ******** ***** *** *** **** ****** *** *** ********* ********* ****** ** *** ****** *** ******
Visited Dr. Jyoti Kankanala (Obstetrician) For Pregnancy
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
I visited Dr.Jyoti for the 1st time in Continental Hospital for pre-pregnancy consultaion in February, 2022. She listened and understood our query thoroughly and suggested necessary tests for both me & my husband. She also adviced the necessary meds I should be taking even before conceiving. Since all my test reports were good, she straightway asked to visit post conceiving, and avoided unnecessary visits unlike most other doctors. I re-visited post conceiving few months later & since then we comnected more. She used to thoroughly check & listen to any concern I had and always suggested whats best for me & baby. Every time I visited her, I always felt so happy & never disappointed. She adviced only the necessary meds that would keep me & my baby healthy, she also suggested a good diet for me. I delivered a healthy baby boy on 30th september 2023, and was only relaxed all during the whole process coz of Dr.Jyoti. Me & my husband had full faith on her coz she really is too good. She & her team kept continuously monitoring me & baby's health right from the time I was admitted till I was released.And her down to earth nature attracts you more to keep continuing the relationship. Thank you so much Ma'am for helping us through this 'dream come true' journey. You are & will always hold a very special place in our heart.I would definitely recommend Dr. Jyoti Kankanala to all would-be mums out there or who dreams to become a mum, to make your dream journey wonderfully memorable, do visit her.

Visited Dr. Swarup Kumar P (Pediatrician)
He is the reason I stopped visiting citizens hospital! ** ** ******** *** ***** ******* I took my 1 month old baby as we felt he was warmer than usual, we kept our baby wrapped in covers in emergency visit! After checking the temperature the hospital he scared us of high temperature, dehydration and if we don’t see a temperature lowering in sometime admission to hospital and saline. Asked us to take blood test and urine test (we are still talking g about a 20-25 day old baby). As scared parents we took those tests worth thousands all normal no temperature after 1 hour no medication given at all! **** *** ******* ****** ******** *** **** ******** ********* ******* *** ***** ** **** ***** *** *** **** **** ******* ***** ****** ****** *********** ** **** *** ** **** ******* ** ******** * He is arrogant shouts on you if you ask questions, scares you!

He went to Dr Swaroop for my son who was having vomiting and fever and was not active as he was having a lot of vomitings we were really worried as he was advised admission at a local Hospital where he we have visited initially for the same complaints. Doctor was patient in listening our problems and recommended that we can try some oral medications if they are not helpful then we can try some injections which will stop vomitings. If that is also not working then we can admit the child..... My sons vomitings subsided after giving injection and we went home with oral medications for fever and other complaints.... We were relieved and liked the practical approach of the doctor.
Visited Dr. Raghavendra Y (Gastroenterologist)
My slot time at citizen Hospital: 10:30 AM .
Doctor attended me at 11:15 AM .
Dr Raghvendra seems not a patient listener and in 2mins of first consultation he decided to sigmoidoscopy . He did not brief me why he wants to do and what exactly is done in the diagnostics . All of a sudden in first meeting he decided to do sigmoidoscopy after the consulation.
My consultation time was 2 mins and that too first consultation.
Overall i feel he is not patient friendly doctor . I do not recommend this doctor or citizen hospital
Visited Dr. Shalini Patodiya (Dermatologist) For Corn Removal
Hoped for better: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
I went to the citizen hospital for corn removal. They charged Rs. 700 fees. I went to Dr. Shalini. When I explained the problem of hard skin on my feet-- she wrote 6000 on the prescription-- asking me to deposit the money for surgical removal. I asked her whether there is any other way. She was very unfriendly and told me that I can do anything I want (e.g., corn-cap) but she won't recommend. She was not ready to explain why we should not try corn-cap or any other method before going for the costly procedure. Although there was no other patent waiting, she didn't spend more than 3-4 minutes with me. I went there seeing Practo reviews and I was very disappointed.

*********** *********** ** *** ** *** **** ***** ****** ** **** ** ***. I had a very good experience with her. She helped me to deliver my baby naturally (NVD). Right from the beginning of my pregnancy I took consultation from her she took keen care in terms of diet and physical exercises that helps for normal delivery. She also made me well prepared mentally aswell as it was my first delivery I was stressed on whether I could bear the pain etc but she told me a lot of relaxing techniques and really encouraged and motivated me. She also supported me during my postpartum. I am really grateful that I have consulted Dr.Radhika mam. I would highly recommend her.
