1/5 Srinivas M. 4 years ago on Google
We
opted
for
Srikara
Hospitals
–
Secunderabad,
after
hearing
about
the
various
success
stories
on
knee
replacement
surgeries
by
Dr
Akhil
Dadi.
But
after
the
experience
of
how
they
treat
the
patients
referred
by
Railways,
we
deeply
regret
the
decision
to
opt
for
Srikara.
First,
we
were
told
that
Dr
Akhil
Dadi
won’t
be
consulting
patients
from
Railways
nor
will
operate
them
under
SCR/CGHS
cases
at
the
reception
itself.
We
had
to
insist
and
got
his
appointment
only
after
waiting
for
more
than
1hour.
Our
consultation
ended
with
a
complaint
on
reception
staff
and
they
being
scolded
by
Dr
Akhil
in
front
of
us
(drama
of
sorts)
and
a
reluctant
commitment
from
Dr
Akhil
that
he
would
be
operating
on
my
mother.
After
the
consultation,
the
real
marketing
starts
with
his
PA
Mr
Harish.
You'll
be
shown
various
brands
in
terms
of
low,
budget,
premium
ranges
of
implants
(chromium
cobalt-low
&
high
flexibility,
oxynium
&
gold
knee)
with
different
price
ranges
and
exploiting
your
emotions.
After
deciding
the
"CORRECT
(financially
suitable)"
option,
we
were
given
options
for
payment
too......bill
and
no
bill
(i.e,
cash
payments)........after
bargaining,
we
opted
for
the
cash
payment
(oxynium
implant
with
robotic
procedure
-75k
per
knee)
in
excess
of
the
package
as
per
the
Railway
scheme.
On
the
day
of
operation,
we
were
informed
Dr
Akhil
Dadi
would
be
talking
to
us
regarding
the
operation
but
we
had
to
wait
for
4
hrs
(from
6AM
till
10AM)
to
be
operated
and
was
not
even
informed
the
status
of
operation
till
the
cash
was
handed
over.
After
that
within
5
mins
she
was
shifted
from
3rd
floor
to
OT
on
the
5th
floor.
We
insisted
on
meeting
Dr
Akhil
Dadi
for
a
conversation
before
my
mother
was
shifted
to
OT.
My
father
met
him
near
OT
door
to
take
care
of
my
mother
and
was
completely
surprised
when
Dr
Akhil
refused
to
operate
as
decided
and
sticking
to
the
railway
scheme
adamantly
(all
this
in
front
his
trusted
fellow
Mr
Harish).
It
seemed
as
if
he
was
either
not
communicated
about
the
payment
or
he
was
not
happy
with
the
amount.
We
couldn’t
believe
if
it’s
happening
for
real
or
it’s
a
movie
scene,
where
the
operating
doctor
talks
about
the
package
before
going
for
an
operation?
What
confidence
will
the
Patient
or
the
Patient’s
attendants
have
when
the
doctor
is
upset
right
before
the
procedure?
With
these
doubts
in
mind
we
insisted
that
Dr
Akhil
assure
that
he’s
going
to
operate
on
my
mother
as
agreed
earlier,
which
he
refused
to
do
in
person
and
suggested
to
cancel
the
operation.
With
no
assurance
and
options
left,
in
view
of
my
mother's
health
&
safety,
we
had
to
cancel
the
operation
and
discharge
my
mother
from
the
hospital.
I
would
have
given
zero-star
rating
but
as
there
is
no
option
for
even
half
star
I
have
to
give
one
star
very
reluctantly.
This
was
our
most
recent
(on
16/11/19)
personal
experience
with
the
most
talented
Dr
Akhil
Dadi
&
Team
@
Srikara
Hospital,
Secunderabad,
very
famous
for
Total
Knee
Replacement
surgeries
in
Hyderabad.
UPDATE:
After
the
experience
@
Srikara,
we
were
fortunate
to
be
supported
by
our
Rly
Doctor
and
kindly
referred
mother
to
KIMS
(Dr.
Uday
Krishna)
on
19/11/19.
We
immediately
admitted
her
to
KIMS
on
the
same
day,
where
it
was
decided
to
operate
on
20/11/19.
Dr
Uday
Krishna
reassured
my
mother
that
he
would
take
care
of
her
as
his
own
family
member
before
shifting
her
to
the
OT.
He
talked
to
us
and
ensured
oxynium
implant
along
with
his
team
(Dr
Rohit,
Dr
Ravneesh
&
Nursing
Staff)
were
very
professional
in
their
patent
care
before
operation
and
after.
After
the
operation,
we
were
shown
the
photos
and
videos
of
the
implant
to
clear
any
little
doubts
left
in
our
minds.......after
24
hours
observation
in
ICU,
she
was
shifted
to
room
on
21/11/19.
After
3
days
on
observation,
she
was
discharged
from
KIMS
without
anymore
complications
(infection,
fever
etc.,)
on
25/11/19.
With
this
experience
,
we're
all
glad
that
everything
went
well
in
a
smooth
manner
and
hope
my
mother
has
a
full
recovery
soon.
(BTW,
the
amount
paid
at
KIMS
was
only
1/3rd
of
the
amount
agreed
at
Srikara).
