Dr. Roopa Rachel P

I had a very good experience with Dr. Roopa Rachel P. She explained everything well and overall everything was good during my visit.

Excellent.She listens to the patient,thus gaining the confidence of the patient.She is humane . Goes through the reports meticulously, & explains how to take the medicines, specially the inhalers.A wonderful experience. Wish we have more Drs like Dr Roopa Racheal.

I visited her to get treatment for dry cough, from which I was suffering for quite some time. She suggested an "immediate" PFT to be done, which I did get done. However, even with the test results, she could not give any explaination or remedy for the cough. She kept insisting on using inhalers * ** ** *and she demonstrated the same atleast 3-4 times. When my husband asked when I will be cured, she got offended!! and her response was let's just focus on her current state .... indicating that I am suffering from some long-lasting disease ** Lucky for me I was not convinced by her diagnosis ** and visited a few other doctors and to my surprise all of them had one same advice to NOT use inhalers unless extremely necessary, since it leads to lifelong dependancy/addiction!! And yes, she talks too much and listens too little. P.S Dr. Rachel. the dry cough was gone in less than a week

Hey Guys, I have visited this Dr on Vivek Clinic, BTM Layout and below are my input. 1. She is asking for lot of test again and again. I felt, she is having commission in every test. Now she has hired PFT guy who will do PFT in Rs 1000 at your home whereas same you can do in Rs 660 from Manipal hospital (old airport road). 2. She is asking to come frequent (by weekly/month) continuously and its never ending process. In short, she is making regular customer. 3. Also I felt, she is recommending very costly medicine. 4. She is telling, opening to patient that she can control the cough/cold/berating problem but there is no treatment for this as this is inherit from your parents/all. 5. She don't have any official receipt for payment. She will provide only on letterhead if you will request but that you can't submit for domiciliary claims purpose. Good point - She know lot of languages and she talks a lot.

* ** * She is the most arrogant person I have ever come across. I just called her to check her availability and she started yelling “I don’t do phone consultation blah blah. She didn’t even have patience to listen. Then why share your personal number??? More over as a doctor one needs to have more patience ** * Not at all recommend* * * ** **

I won't recommend her to anyone. She was not patient and considerate enough to listen to my problems and whenever I asked any further questions with medication, she felt a bit frustrated in replying. She referred for PFT initially itself before checking. I was using rotocaps until now and no other doctor had asked me to change until now, but she forced me to buy turbuhaler, which is quite expensive. This medication probably has some steroids which seem to have got me heartburns and recently increase in thyroid level .
