I visited the doctor for recurrent throat infections, and he treated the current infection with a dose of antibiotics and painkillers. We discussed the option of tonsil removal, and he explained the pros and cons in detail. I came to a conclusion to have the tonsils removed, and we were able to schedule the surgery soon after. I was treated very well by the hospital(Hiranandani Hospital, Powai) staff including Dr. Vernekar, Dr. Sushma and the nursing staff on my floor. I would definitely recommend Dr. Vernekar for his professionalism, care to patients, and conservative approach towards medication. The surgery was successful and I am fully recovered, 2 weeks after.

** ******** *** **** ************** ******** *** ******** He responded to all my questions, offering detailed responses and helpful explanations as well as suggestions to mitigate symptoms given my environmental Response to Mumbai pollution/air quality concerns and lifestyle. There was no wait time - I was seen as scheduled and he facilitated a further assessment on site which allayed concerns regarding ear pressure with upcoming travels for the winter holiday. He also helped clarify some important considerations which deepened my understanding of the factors impacting my health and how best to respond following treatment of current symptoms. Would be a wonderful doctor also for children as he has a very welcoming and calm personality.
A visit with Dr. Vernekar always leaves me with a good feeling. I have visited him twice - once for Pharyngitis and earlier for ear wax blockage. Both the times he explained the issue to me well in a very calm and patient manner. Both the times I recovered pretty quickly. I definitely recommend him.

Doctor was patient to listen to my issues and he then explained in detail about it. Clearly explained what needs to be done and how to go about the treatment. Asked me to be patient as the treatment may take some time to show results which was quiet realistic unlike other doctors.

Amazing Doctor! Listens to you properly and examines diligently without any hurry. Explains the issue very lucidly and also gives proper explanation to every medicine prescribed. One of the few doctors who don't simply fill the prescription with medicines if not necessary.
He was spot on with the cause of the issue and suggested dietary changes and prescribed a few medicines. Worked like a charm!

*** ** *** **** ******* ** **** *** ** *** ********* Very compassionate and very friendly. My son was under his care for almost a month and he treated him like his own child. Extra care and attention was given to him given his age and how sensitive he was regarding his ear. Even the stitches done by him we're flawless and parents were allowed to hold the child, even though it was not the protocol. Very nice doctor and human being.
Visited For Earache
Hoped for better: Wait time
Please don’t give appointment on your app if the doctor is not available. You gave me an appointment with the doctor for 23/12 at Hiranandani hospital when he is on leave till month end. As a result I travelled for 1:30 hr to the hospital but couldn’t meet the doctor. Somebody should be held accountable to ensure that you don’t inconvenience the patients by confirming appointments with doctors who are not even available in the hospital.

Unlike other doctors, he doesn't not recommend anything drastic for a problem that can be resolved by medicine.
Extremely calm and well spoken doctor. Has treated my father for ear pain and second time for removal of lesion from the throat. Highly recommended doctor
