It was a commendable.job by Dr Prashanth at Narayana Nethralaya Ashok Nagar who performed cataract surgery in my both eyes recently. I experienced good level of comfort during the surgery. I am happy with the outcome of the surgery that resulted in significant improvement in my vision Procedures went well despite the fact that I am a diabetic for 40 years and had undergone laser treatment on few occasions. Dr Ptashanth is dedicated experienced and was helpful in guiding me with right choice of procedures and lenses best duited to me.His well versed team of support made me feel at ease..The rest is now in my hands to maintain the improvement in vision. The hospital has a professionally managed counselling desk as also an efficient corporate desk to.help and guide the patients. The hospital also has experienced personnel running with the daily chores.

I, Mrs. Asuntha Anthony came for my right eye cataract treatment in NN3 under the Consultant Dr. Colin A. S. Nazareth & got operated by Dr. Prashanth. R. I would like to share my feedback as it is my first time experience in this hospital where Dr. Colin consulted me well & gave me a good opinion for the cataract surgery and also referred me to Dr. Prashanth who briefed & explained me well about the surgery with excellent knowledge & did my cataract surgery successfully. I’m very pleased with his dedicated service throughout my visit. I would also like to thank all the NN3 hospital staffs, who were very kind & polite to us throughout my visit. Keep up the good work & god bless you all.

The experience was amazing at Narayana Nethralaya when I visited the hospital for my father’s cataract operation. The stuffs were cooperative, Dr Prasanth was very calm and caring to answer all our doubts. The only hiccup we faced during discharge as one of the counsellor was in leave, the management should have taken care in a better way the situation, we had to wait over 2 hrs for the discharge, Ms Selvi was very helpful though trying her best to handle the discharge and counseling department at the same time but the management should have acted better when any employet is in leave.

Though the technology has seen a tremendous improvement over the years, it’s always difficult to accept the fact that someone has to go through a procedure in eyes.. when a colleague recommended Narayana Nethralaya for a cataract I read the reviews online and found mostly positive notes about the place. After the procedure, can’t believe I am writing my first feedback on how helpful the staffs were and especially Dr Prashanth. Thank you and keep up the good work you are doing.. Cheers!

My father underwent a cataract surgery here. The process is systematic and streamlined. There's minimum waiting time at every stage of the process. Staffs are very courteous and friendly, and they'll help you with any queries. They've the next gen bladeless Laser technology procedure and the surgery only took roughly 30-45 minutes enabling a speedy recovery. Our doctor, Dr. Prashanth is well experienced and answered whatever doubts and queries we had post surgery.

My father yesterday undergone a surgery and Dr Prasaanth was the Surgeon. Dr explained us the procedure well and made my father comfortable. He is quite happy. Counsellor and iPath also helped us with all the pre and post procedures. Only one concern is that i followed with counsellor to get the reporting time of the surgery day. It would be great if SMS also sent to the patient and guardian mobiles with the reporting time any other details. Overall we are happy.

Sibi Viju Samuel
The counselor Selvi was very helpful. She explained everything very clearly. She is an asset to the institution. General hygiene ESPECIALLY in the toilet needs to improve a lot. The helper in the recovery room lacks common sense and hygiene. She reused the bedsheet and pillow cover. Thats disgusting. There are lots of mosquitoes everywhere. Overall good experience with Dr Prashanth, the counselor Selvi and the insurance person.

My father in law underwent the catract surgery here. When another hospital rejected him and said that it was risky, Dr. Prashant conducted the surgery very comfortably. My father in law didn’t feel any inconveniences. He is recovering well. The staff was very hospitable. The whole process was very smooth n simple. The rates are also very reasonable. Will recommend Dr. Prashant and Narayanan Nethralaya to others.
