I got a callus on my left foot, as i am a sugar patient decided to consult with a good doctor, so took an appointment with doctor r. N mehrotra on13th of may 2017, and visited on same day, he referred me to meet the dr. Srinivas s (Dnb general surgery), he asked me to do some test like x-ray & blood circulation, i told him dr. Srinivas, sir i am able to walk comfortably, only getting light pain as i am wearing shoes regularly, if i stop wearing shoes, then i won't get pain. He forced me to do the test, and it cost me around rs. 2, 500 when i got the report, everything was ok, i know in big hospitals dr. Are advise to do some unnecessary test, he prescribed one ointment and suggested to put my leg in luke warm water for 5 mins and then apply the ointment twice daily and then come after 1 month to meet me, that day appolo hospital charges rs.5, 200 including doctor fee and all the test around. But one of friend suggested to apply corn plast for 1 week that cost is only rs. 30, i applied that and within a week i got cure. I am thinking about this doctor and thinking about apollo how you are earning money. My request, please do some transparency, if something is really required do the test otherwise don't do unnecessary test loot money from patient/customer. Even i had an argument with the receptionist regarding this matter. Request you please take necessary action against the doctor and refund my money rs.2, 500. Hope i will get result for my complain.
