[Resolved]  Dr Batra's — Fraudulent medical practises

Address:

Mumbai City, Maharashtra

Firstly I am not writing against Homeopathy. I believe in the medication and I know it works if administered correctly. Many year ago my father who is now 79 went to Dr. Batra’s for psoriasis treatment. They started the treatment at 6000/- something annually and my father was asked to visit every month to check on the progress. In the initial 2 to 3 years the progress was excellent and my father was very happy with the progress. But he did notice that the doctors frequently change while monthly visits and it is during this time that they discreetly change the medicines without the patient knowing it, because all homeopathic medicines looks the same (white round pills). After nearly 6 years of treatment, as usual when he was nearing the annual completion he went for his monthly visit and the new doctor in her probable twenties asked my father when he will renew his annual treatment. My father assured her that 2 months are balance and as he had done in the past he will renew it in the last month. Somehow this doctor did not seem convinced and gave the medicines. 30 days later, not only did the psoriasis not reappear but reappeared much worse than it was 6 years ago. My father was shocked and on his next visit questioned the doctor about it. Immediately a senior consultant was called in who told my father that psoriasis is like diabetes and cannot be cured but only controlled (this was contrary to what they advertise). Upset my father stopped the treatment and never went again for any homeopathic treatment. Till this day he suffers from worsened psoriasis. We learnt later after researching that Dr. Batra’s have a fraudulent practice of discreetly changing the medicine power and intensifying the disease towards the end of the annual treatment. Then the doctors use this excuse to convince the patient to carry on with the treatment and renew the treatment for another year, and it goes on forever. I beg all innocent people, especially with elderly parents to not go to Dr. Batra’s in view of this fraudulent practice being carried out. That fellow Dr. Batra is more interested in bollywood activities like singing and other events, but does not care to look into the practices of his own health care chain. This is a highly unprofessional establishment which plays with the lives and health of patients who blindly trust them.
