Hoped for better: Doctor friendlinessWait timeTreatment satisfactionExplanation of the health issue
My review is based not just on one or two consultations with this doctor, but a history of surgeries and the overall attitude of Dr Ravi Sachidananda over the past 3.5 years. I was diagnosed with Sleep apnea in 2017. Since the standard treatment method,"CPAP" didn't work for me, I was referred to People Tree's ENT head(this person) by my local ENT. He did an evaluation and recommended 3 surgeries Septoplasty with Turbinate Reduction, Tonsillectomy and Barbed Pharyngoplasty. And he assured me that I would see atleast 80-90% improvement in my symptoms, which is why I proceeded with surgery. I was operated on Nov, 2017 by Dr Ravi and Dr Sandeep Dachuri at PT hospital.
***** ***** ******* ** ******** *** *** ******* * ****** **** * *** ****** *** **** ******** ***** * *** ************ I went to him 3-4 times in the next 2 years, for follow-ups and told him my symptoms hasn't reduced whatsoever. Subsequent sleep studies revealed that the AHI(Measure of sleep apnea) was still significant. All this while, this Dr kept on saying that he did the surgery really well, and that it was a great success. He never for once cared to listen to my symptoms, and my state of being. Fast forward to 2021, I recently had a sleep endoscopy and a CT scan of my airways. **** ****** **** *** ********* ** ***** ********************** ********* ** *** ** **** **** ** ***** ******** **** ****** *** ***** ** ******** ******** ** *** *********** ***** ** ******* * **** *********** ** ** ****** ****** ***** ********* ** ***** ****** So, I recently took these scans and showed it to him, *** **** *** **** *** ******* ***** ********* even after four years of surgery, ***** *** ************* *************** ** ***** ****** ****** **** ***** *** ** ****** *** **** ** ******** ** *** **** *** ******* *** **** ** ***** *** **** ********** ** ***** **** *** ******* ******* ****** **** ***** *** * *********** ******** *** **** * ********* **** *** ******** *** ***** ************* He did say that performing another surgery would not be optimal, and I wasn't willing to undergo another surgery from him either. *** **** ***** ** **** **** ** **** ****** *** ****** ******** ******* ** * ********** ********** * **** ** ** ****** ******** ** ********* ***** *** *********** ** *** ****** *** *** **** ** ***** ** *** ******** These doctors did my DISE half and hour before surgery, and it wasn't even shown to me.
