I consulted with Dr. Gladson for chronic mouth ulcers which were present for nearly a week at the time of appointment. By then, I was barely able to speak, eat and sometimes sleep due to the pain (none of these problems the doctor bothered listening to)
A couple of glaring red flags that I noticed before, during and after the appointment.
1) Arrived 30 minutes late.
2) Picked up phone multiple times in a 30 minute appointment. Makes it tough for a patient who has difficulty speaking to start explaining all over again.
3) Turned my head around like a bobble head rapidly while doing the routine check. It was comical to say the least, and uncomfortable/painful at best.
4) He did not give me a chance to speak much about my issue. The moment we started, I mentioned that I have mouth ulcers . He said the cause is dehydration for what felt like eons. Nothing else. Did not bother checking for mouth ulcers or anything else inside the mouth. If I needed dehydration as an opinion, I would not have approached Dr. Gladson. I have since approached other Doctors for the same issue, *** ***** **** ***** *** *** ** *** **** ***** ** *** ****** **** *** *** **** ** * ********** ** *** ******* ** ***** ******.
5) He used a metal tool (non-blunt) to check inside my mouth for mouth ulcers when I clearly signaled that it would be painful.
6) He had me delay any kind of blood test by 2 weeks, even though I asked if there is a chance of deficiency or allergies which could be the cause.
7) The only thing he did was send me on my way with a prescriptions of 6~7 medications, ***** *** *** **** ********* *** **** *** *******
8) Initially charged Rs. 800 in practo, we were asked to cancel the appointment by the doctor over call and then charged Rs. 1250. It is not an allergy counseling if the diagnosis is dehydration without any tests or questions or any attention paid to what the patient has to say.
9) Lastly, calling someone impatient for expecting the doctor to come on time is unprofessional.

1. I arrived late as I was in surgery which sometimes inadvertently gets delayed.
2. I apologise for the frequent phone interruptions but unfortunately, that comes with this job!

I booked an appointment on 24 May for my dad as he had bleeding in his nose for a few times. I had booked an appointment via practo which Dr.Gladson eventually made me cancel and booked the same via his app and collected 650rs in cash as his consultation. He asked for the symptoms and immediately asked to get a CT scan done worth Rs 3000. Upon the receipt of the report he explained in detail about the issue my dad had and started talking about its severity as to how it can lead to death if an operation was not conducted on the weekend itself. Not limiting to it, he also advised not to go for a cashless surgery but instead opt for a cash paid surgery and then go for reimbursement. He also prescribed certain medicines - the list is quite big!! Since we have ENT (MS) surgeons in our family, upon their advise we visited another doctor **** ** *********** the next day. ** *** * ******** ******** ******* **** **** ********** *** **** ******* ***** *** ******* ** ***** *** ********** **** * ****** *** * **** **** ** **** *** ****** We were still confused as to whom to believe! Then, we receive a message from Dr.Gladson himself, stating there were glaring mistakes in the report sent by the radiologist and we will be sent a revised report. He also apologized for the erroneous report which was sent. When my father received the revised report, he in fact rechecked with the doctor if surgery was really required ** *** ******* **** ******* He still maintains that surgery is required else it will Kill my father! This is really an unacceptable behavior from a person practicing a noble profession. We had contacts and went in for a second opinion, ******* *** ****** ** ******* *** **** *** **** ****** ** **** ****** ******** ** ** ****** ********** ***** ******* ** ***** **** ** ***** ********* *** ******** ** *** ******** I would never ever refer anyone to Dr.Gladson again.

I felt good thinking wow he is saving me money.
I see him the next day and checks my ears as I had a blockage feeling. Have been hearing exceeding music and constant use of headphones off late.
He says nothing in the ears and suggests a scan in 5 mins flat. Well when u surrender to a Doc u listen to what they say so I went ahead and off goes Rs.3000/-
His diagnosis was ‘Grossly deviated nasal septum with large septal spur with chronic rhinosinusitis and bilateral eustachian tube dysfunction’
Post scan he is like I am already too late and I need a surgery and will cost me 1.8 L if I go for cash less and if I go through him and pay cash it will be 90K.

We visited so called super speciality hospital, they told us it required immediate operation ***** ***** **** ****** *** ***** one of our friend suggested us to consult somewhere else before getting it operated.
Dr. Sumanth L was referred to us by a family friend. We took an appointment and met him the next day. He was keen on small details and checked up on my daughter's condition.
He told us that because it wasn't an open wound it can be fixed without any operation after studying the x-ray report. The same day, he treated it by immobilizing the bone with a cast. My daughter was kept under observation for a day. During this time Dr.Sumanth was very attentive. After the discharge, he followed up with her condition. and later after a month she was completely healed.
All thanks to Dr. Sumanth for treating her so well that she is all normal now. She is active like as she was before this accident happened.
