Student Reviews & Testimonials
ASHOK KUMAR SINGH
Trusted and one of the best place for all those who wants to save their's life... I am saying this on my personal experience. May God always Bless this place... My Heartiest thanks to DR. J. Madhukar Sir...
Chrislyn D
This college is the19th best college in India. As a student and from my personal experiences I must say that this institute has a lot to offer. In terms of academics you get to learn a lot from teaching professors, healthcare professionals, seniors and through self study. When it comes to patient exposure, you get to see a huge number of patients having different medical conditions therefore it helps boost clinical knowledge for students during posting hours . Moving on , the campus is massive with lush green trees and is silent, cool and peaceful as compared to the busy life outside campus. The hostel is neat, decent and affordable . The mess serves veg as well as non veg meals . The college conducts cultural events as well. Overall a pretty good college

The hospital is not the same as it was 10 years back in trement, treating and taking care patient. It as been grown well in advance in standard but lost its value of treatment. Treatment : Regarding OPD it's worst, senior doctor are surrounded by all student and interns. Those student won't listen to patient suffering what treatment as to be given, even they won't inform to patient what as been happen just they gave medicine and send back. Hospital is getting run by Students i think. I see wrong tretment given by these students. So I went with second opinion with other hospital doctor by seeing report he was asking who treated you they didn't info about issue suffering. Billing department: It has became hopeless in treatment now everything matters for them how to get money from patient, billing department is big scammers. It's having different charges rule for cash and cash less. In case of cashless they won't tell about how much bill as been happen and details they tell will share to insurance department they are behind the money.

I am writing this review with a great pain in my heart. As I was totally new to bangalore, I was not aware of any hospitals here. I visited this hospital for the first time when I was pregnant, I heard Dr. Ammamma Thomas is a good gynaec so took special token in the evening by paying extra than usual morning token to get consultation from her. She was nice to talk to, I informed her that I am pregnant and have issue of thyroid, she did not ask me to do any test,directly she gave appointment for scan. She didn't even do any test to confirm whether I am really pregnant or not. 2nd time when I visited, again got appointment for scan, no blood test, no urine test nothing. After the 2nd scan thought of meeting her in morning and not in evening, I got to see her true colour. In evening, she was so soft spoken,her words were so caring and in morning she behaved like a different person. The 2nd scan report showed baby's heartbeat didn't come, so had to abort the baby. She talked in a rude way and without any empathy she asked me to get admittedly immediately and she didn't bother to explain me anything. I had no other option and got admitted. They said I had to get admitted for 3 days, but simply they kept me 5 days when asked they said doctor will come for rounds and they found something suspicious In the report, hearing this I agreed to stay but later they said it is not serious and did not give me any medication or treatment for it and discharged me. Later I got to know that this is just a money making strategy for them, also got to know that thyroid is a one of a reason for my miscarriage. I told her about my thyroid initially, I regret visiting this doctor and this hospital. Worst doctor ever seen.
