The staff at Bannerghatta Road has been excellent while helping us with multiple reschedule of the appointments due to us being unwell prior to the appointments. All the doctors are extremely patient while listening to the patient’s issues and queries, quite firm about their diagnosis without asking for unnecessary tests and extremely accommodating of all our requests. Met Dr.Harsha Rao for a probable case of Glaucoma for my husband. He was very humble and extremely kind to explain his diagnosis in great detail to us. He also pitched in for my cornea checkup with another senior doctor, Dr.Harsha Nagaraj who explained my symptoms, probable causes and solutions in great detail. He was kind to accept me as a new patient at the last minute. We also met Retina specialist, Dr. Subhaschandra H Doralli, who is also excellent and patient while examining patients and explains his diagnosis in great detail. Overall, an excellent experience with all the senior doctors and I will highly recommend visiting this hospital for eye checkups.
