Extremely extremely unprofessional doctor, i would highly advice NOT to visit her. I was a bit skeptical when i read older reviews about how "money minded" doctor she is, despite that my mother went to visit thinking let's give "her a chance". Turns out the reviews were 100% accurate. Her fees were "only 600 Rs" which is actually very low for a cardiologist who has spent 12 years of her life studying but here comes the "catch". My mother had a 2D ECHO report which was just 3 DAYS old. Despite this, when she found out there's nothing she can do to "extort" more money, she played her "card", she took out her Ultrasound probe, did scanning for a minute and then said everything is okay. Despite the fact that we had a 2D echo report which was just 3 days old, she did another 2D echo and charged us 1000Rs extra for the 2d echo she did. And when we showed her the previous reports, she said "i don't look at older reports, i want everything fresh". What nonsense is this? Absolutely unprofessional, absolutely money minded, i would highly highly advise to NOT GO TO HER FOR ANY TREATMENT. You might as well pay the same amount for DM Cardiologist, who is more professional and actually listens to you than such an unprofessional doctor, who lacks even the basic work ethics a doctor should have. Absolutely terrible experience. Would not recommend.

Patient Reviews
Worst doctor ever. Greedy, arrogant, egoistic are the least words i can use for her. She has low fees, but when you enter her clinic she doesn't listen to you, your history, reports, diagnostics. She does everything on her own, Then charges the patient. She purposely conducted 2d Echo, and said it was normal. Even though we had the reports. Don't recommend.
Terrible experience. Completely misguided my parents. Asked my dad to get an angiography after 3 days of concern/medication. Did not even bother to ask all symptoms to identify whether there is a genuine chest/heart problem. It turned out to be a stomach/digestion problem. She makes sure she asks you if you have insurance and the amount.l covered. This was a red flag for us and hence we went to another doctor after. While we went ahead with the angiography to get it out of our mind but there was no reason to scare us the way she did.
Doctor Shalima is only concerned about her fees which is usually very high. She only depends on consultation and never suggests any medication on her own. My father had very bad experience when he reached the clinic on time and the receptionist allowed other patient who was policeman and he entered the clinic directly. He was favoured by Doctor and everybody who reached clinic earlier were kept seated. They dont follow first come first visit basis. Also the receptionist has unethical behaviour.
A money minded doctor. Doctors should console the patients instead of frightening them. Prescribed unnecessary medications without finding root cause. Overpriced. Charged 2500 for 2 ECG reports. I will never recommend her to anyone.
Very good/ professional doctor . Doing clinic with Lot of patience even in covid times. Sees many patients daily with nominal / discounted rate .Highly recommend for thaneites .
The Doctor lady is very rude.She is so bold and will treat in a way that will sound like humiliation. I will never visit this clinic, they dont even start the A.C even when the clinic is full with patients and during hot summer days. I Wont recommend here.She sounds like heartless and feeling less to patients.
Shalima Gautam is not a doctor but a business woman. Not interested in patient very much interest interest in fees. If your are really ill search for some other good Doctor.
