Very bad experience.
Not a good doctor. We consulted for my wife spinal pain , his junior had examined her and they only interested in reports not in patients complain. Second day when he came to see my wife ,sajan Hegde didn’t examined nor seen patient and only listen to juniors and see only blood reports. He didn’t examine nor asked any single question to patient . Even he didn’t interested to see mri reports also. MRI suggested listhesis and facaetal arthropathy which required stabilisation. We consulted 4 expert spine surgeon in Mumbai and Ahmedabad also. All suggested surgery, but he said you don’t have any problem and consult rheumatologist for higher Uric acid. We had already consulted rheumatologist and he said he required spine surgeon opinion. Better to consult Dr inghalhalikar at Jupiter hospital , thane. A true genuine and senior experience doctor who 1 st listen patient complint s first and then clinical examination and then sees the mri reports.
I will never go to apollo hospital .
Sir,
My Spondilothesis shows no lmprovement in spite of physiotherapy.L4.L5 and Disc presses Sciatic nerve debelising movement while standing or walking even a minute. Dr.Robert Mao gave a letter to you to analyse the problem and I showed it to your Assistant who asked me to wait for you but I couldn't sit there for 2 hrs waiting for you.
If I could undergo surgery, I am happy to see you and if I couldn't resist surgery, I bear the pain and continue exercise.
I'm 76 years old. CABG in 2000, Dialysis from2021.Diabetic patient. Awaiting your Advice to follow.

They said that the patient will be pain free after 3/4 days of the surgery and also he can walk smoothly. But after 1.5 months of the surgery, pain is still there and the patient is still limping. Worst experience ever. Also the dr. never assist the patient. He is always busy with his phone while checking patients. It's his assistants who checks patients and the surgery was also done by the assistant doctors only. They just misleads patient and their families. What they are doing is purely business. Nothing else.
Not a good Dr. And he doesn't have time to see his patients properly. His assistant asks questions and writes in paper. And Dr doesn't even listen properly what his assistant says. Stupid Dr. Money eating machine all setup there. It was very frustrating to hear this Sazen's opinions.
Doctor is very experienced senior and knowledgeable person. It’s great to have such doctors in our Country. All the best and pray God to keep this doctor with good and healthy life to help more patients who are suffering with
