Had an extremely terrible experience. A patient feels comfortable when they are heard, diagnosed well. The doctor will do the following things when you will go:
1) Attend endless personal calls *********** **** *****
2) Give you 30 secs to explain the matter, check your number and if your power is fine then he will declare that nothing is AT ALL wrong with you ** ****** *** **** **** *** **** *** **** ******* ***** ************ *** **** ******** **** **** *******
3) He will be adamant with his diagnosis *** *** ***** ******* ** *** ****** **** *** *****
4) If you happen to have the last appointment, then may God bless you because more than taking care of his patients, he will be in a rush to go home and keep putting off matters for next appointment
5) He will keep saying that "you can go to multiple doctors but you have to adhere to this sheet( he has created some sheet with rules which an office going person who has 100 things on a plate will not remember to adhere)
6) He will be rude
** **** ******** ******* ******* ** ********** ******** ******** ** ********* **** ********* **** ******* *** when I told this doctor that I have been having shooting headaches for the past 7-8 months and serious issue of blurriness, he asked me to visit an ENT and said that you may have a cold. *** *** ********** * ****** **** **** * **** *** *** *******
I trusted this doctor and sent my entire family to him *** ***** *** *** ******** ******** *** ******* *** neglected by my family too. Upon discussing, they told me that they experienced something out of the points I mentioned above whenever they have visited him.
I am already stressed out because of my serious ailment *** **** ****** **** ** *** **** ********* I have never written my experience for a doctor but I felt this experience had to be shared so that no one has to go through something like this in the future ***** * ****** ***** **** ***** *** ******** *** **** ***** ******* *****

I reached out to doctor for infraction around my eye as I was having itching. Doc told me to use steroids to fix it and asked me to continue for more than 4 weeks. ** ******* ** *** ******* *** ********* *** *** ****** ** **** It was a fungal infection around eye which was causing irritation in eye. *** ****** **** ****** *** ******** *** ***** **** ** ************ * ***** **** **** ** ******* *** ** ******** *** **** ****** ** *** *** ****** ** ***** *** ** ** ** *** ***** ** ********* Further instead of understanding why patient has come to doc in emergency post initial checkup’s he is more concerned why the prescription was not carried. I had to wait for 45 minutes after getting the appointment. Very sad experience. Wont Recommend to anyone.

After consulting three different doctors for my Dad's aggravating Glaucoma we consulted Dr Rajul. While all other doctors had recommended surgery, Dr Rajul simply changed the drops. Within 15 days the aggravation was drastically reduced and pressure down from 21-22 to normal. While we were keen for a surgery Dr Rajul said not to rush. It's been four months and my dad's eye pressure has remained normal, visibility has improved and eye redness completely gone.
