I have been to this hospital a year back. I have mixed reviews on this Hospital, but I still recommend the hospital if you know you are meeting the right doctor.
Consultation Charges - Rs. 200 (this was an year back)
Registration Charged - Rs. 30 (this was an year back)
Staff Attitude - Excellent
Doctors Experience - Depends on the Doctor you meet
Infrastructure - I believe they have only one operation theatre, which is more like an Hall than a operation theatre. If you are going for consultation and meeting the right doctor you wont be disappointed, as the staff is very co-operative.
Nurses are well trained. Hospital is Clean. Parking is an BIG issue at the Hospital.
Administration is good. Registration is quick, and the file/documents is maintained well.(though it took them nearly an hour to find my file when I went to them after a month)
They do have tie-up with the Insurance companies, and have an Insurance Desk.

Dr. Agadi who is a OLD man is an excellent doctor with lot of patience.
His son and daughter also work in the same hospital and also are good, but not as experienced as Dr. Agadi
We have to wait a long time to meet him.
Dr. Agadi operated me for removal of cyst from my back, and it was an excellent operation with very less pain.

Mr Bagirath who is a Ortho is a Big No-No *. I and my wife had a very bad experience after we met with an accident and got admitted to this hospital. My wife has a fracture in hand and had to implant plates. In the middle of the operation she woke up and was suffering with high pain. Also while applying the plates and to get the bones right, it was pulled so hard, that the knuckles can down for one of fingers which we observed only after two month(after removal of plaster).
When I confronted Dr Bagirath on the same, he said that we should have told him before.
(How come we can tell when the plaster is on. Also can't he see that in the X-ray)
We had to show him that the X-ray taken after a day of operation shows that one of knuckles came down. The answer from him -- Oh Yes, in next operation when we remove the plates we will pull it back.
He charged 20, 000 for the operation and the hospital charges were around 30000. Total around 50000. (The cost was nearly 20 month back) We asked for some reduction, for which the hospital asked me to speak to the Doctor Bagirath directly. He reduced if by Rs. 2000. But then whenever next time we went for consultation, he used to remind us that he has reduced the operation fees. And note, he used to take Rs. 400 -800 as consultation(while the consultation charges were Rs. 200). I believe he wanted to get back his money which he reduced during the operation via charging us extra during consultation.
I had a bad experience, and would never go to meet the Ortho doctor Bagirath.
After nearly 20 month, I met many ortho's from different hospital and I came to know that the knuckles can be pulled back but there are other serious concerns, and hence have advised not to for operation until the moment of the fingers are good. Was also told that the stitching was not done properly.
