Extortionist Doctor in New Delhi
 

AKSHAYA BHALLA MD
Phone Number: 911124507558
Mailing Address: HEALER'S CLINIC, K-37, SOUTH EXTENSION PART 2
New Delhi, India

This doctor is the only one in New Delhi authorized to issue or sell FAA first class medicals. He is also authorized to Issue Australian medicals.
I do not want to go into a long story, but this scum is the worst kind. He has no shame to ask for a months salary to issue the medical. He will scare you, delay the progress, request all kinds of tests at five to 10 times the cost of a reputable hospital.
He also forged my electronic signature to the FAA. I have this from good authority that he soon will lose the authorization from the FAA. He will attempt to get one or two months of your salary as the price to issue the medical.
I realized pretty soon that he was scaming me and I went to a reputable hospital to have the tests done again. Based on this tests the FAA issued a medical directly.
For details please feel free to contact me.
I will give name and info if requested

Yeah i heard the same thing about him too :mad:

Thats why I didnt bother to go to him too....

Doctors in Mumbai are way better and cheaper :)

this guy is d biggest M##### F##### ever
he failed me on sum stupid eye reason nd wanted 5000 bucks more to give me the faa med , hes d biggest fraud ever
i wish i cud take him to jail

I shall agree to the above stated facts. A few friends of mine had visited this doctor for the purpose of getting their FAA medical certificates issued and were in for a rude shock and such un-ethical behavior.

This man, Akshaya Bhalla is such a shaft and makes you feel so helpless and pushes you into a corner and into a point of stall. He made friends of mine run around him for weeks and do various medical tests for reasons beyond reason.

He charges about Rs. 12,000 for a medical test and another 12,000 for various other tests to be done at hospitals/scanning centers around his clinic. Everyone please try and avoid going to him to get your licenses renewed.

The doctors in Mumbai are really professional and cost about Rs. 5000.

To all the people who have had troubles with the above named Doc..
Guys why dont u lodge a complaint with the FAA describing the whole thing?

Only if you guys will make an effort is when we can prolly think of reducing some of the Scum of Aviation like the above.

Email FAA a Complain against him and get his FAA Endorsement Cancelled!
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I can't confirm or deny the allegations above - I never used that doctor.

If you're looking for an FAA medical, though, I went to Dr. Nusley Pocha in Mumbai for my Class I in 2008. He was competent, professional, friendly, and reasonably priced.

AME Search Criteria

Hmmm interesting thread. My own personal experience with the said Doctor was very professional. I have visited him twice for both an FAA & CASA renewal. I found him to be very ethical, friendly & charged the going rate in Australian or USA. PM for further clarification.

Doctor is good for Flight safety
 

Doctor Bhalla is the best doctor for flight safety. If you are fit you have no trouble, you can breeze through a fitness certification the way I did.
If you are not fit he finds it and helps make you fit.
He is not like other FAA doctors who gave fitness thoughtlessly and now all aircrew, to fly in India, have to undergo DGCA fitness in addition.
Let's not run down good Doctors. They are the key to Flight Safety.

Interesting first post ...

The vast majority I've dealt with have been competent, thorough, and professional.

Indeed - so take your own advice, doctor. :)

HiAlt Flyer is a Liar
 

HiAltFlyer from USA, aren't you the over 60 years of age pilot from USA who was having medical problems in early November. I WAS ALSO THERE FOR MY MEDICAL, You confirmed to me that you had lied while completing you Medical History. To the best of my memory you had serious fever (viral) some time earlier and the good doctor had caught you.
You wanted to bribe him into giving fitness but he wouldn't accept. He wanted you to prove his fitness. Pray tell me what was wrong in the Doctor's approach? You are unnecessarily defaming a good doctor.
:=Don't do it.
Take my advice MEND YOURSELF before you crash and .......!god forbid:bored:

HiAltFlyer is a LIAR
 

I agree with decent aviator. I was also there on one of the days this flier was around. If I am correct he is a German American over 60 years of age, unemployable in his own country, drawing a big salary in India and crying about small expenditure on his health in India.
I fell sick in USA and was left penniless after treatment there.
In any case is the Doctor supposed to give him blind fitness to fly. I got my fitness from Dr. Bhalla on the same day. He was very polite, very courteous & accomodating (he gave me an appointment on a Sunday at my request).
Your germ.. thug, you are a HOAX. Stop defaming Doctor Bhalla. He is a good man.:ok:

WOW lots of one post wonders suddenly coming to the rescue !!

I too have heard of this Doctor, over 1 year ago.

I havent been there but there was a discussion on another web forum about him about 6 mths ago. I read there that there were complaints to the FAA lodged about him. But it was on a forum and is hearsay.

I would personally stick to the Mumbai Doctors if I needed a medical in India myself. A Aviation Medical Examiner gets the accreditation to do a job, not invent the rules, not to decide the standards, they are laid down. They are also there to help Pilots pass the medical, not hinder them or take bribes. I doubt someone would post this type of allegation on here and volunteer to give their name via PM if there wasnt some truth in this...

I personally dont see the relevance of reporting on here someone has had a fever, and I dont think that has any relevance on being able to get a medical too. I know I once got hospitalized for pneumonia and the FAA couldnt care less! I went straight back to the line flying with no re-examination the next week. I reported it again on the my subsequent medical applications and to date nothing has ever been said or asked for.

I have been in many AME offices and have never found out any of the fellow Pilots there at the times medical conditions, let alone even be able to remember their age! So to 'DecentAviator' and 'Upfirst' , I dont think you are being honest in who you say or pretend to be.

Guys,

I went for my FAA medical renewal in 2009 and I have never seen such a corrupt person ever.

Unless necessary, never go to this guy for any thing :=. He will loot you, harass you and God knows when will you get your medicals done.

He charged me 14000 bucks and was asking for more, back in 2009. I wonder how much is he charging now.

Just a word of caution, don't ever do the same mistake I did by going to him.

I am surprised he is still authorized to issue FAA medical certificates. A group of students, including me, had written to the FAA about him.

Take Care.

Back in 2006 he was on the DGCA Class 2 panel of doctors. He was later on removed from there with a red note on the list that he is banned from doing the medicals or something like that I don't remember it. DGCA had some reason to remove this Good Doctor from that list, possibly complaints from those who went something similar to what HiAltFlyer experienced. I myself consulted him for class 2 and i would not call him fraud without having any reason or confirmed information, but he was for sure very strict.


Edit: Just found out he is back on that list. http://dgca.nic.in/medical/class2.pdf

Separated at Birth???
 

Oh I do love the smell of new sign ups in the mornings, especially when they get confused about which IP address they are writing from:suspect:

We find it fascinating that the rushed, defending signups never seem to anticipate the reverse psychology backlash they are triggering and the amusement they create. Criticism from long term PPRuners writing on a host of subjects over an extended period having their points countered by the brash, breathless shouting of the inept new signups. We should charge for the entertainment they give us.

Rob

PS New Signups. Posts 8, 10 and 11 Did you sit next to each other in the design and typography lessons at the graphics course? It's almost like you are triplets taught by someone either blind or with deeply disturbed taste.........:D:D:=

Ha ha ha! Yea posts 8, 10 and 11 are suspicious, they have a common writing fashion! There definitely are some FAA/CASA/TC doctors around India who're money hungry.
To cover up all their rip-off fee and to make it seem like they're really doing something, they want you to run around with unnecessary medical tests, most are which are done by them that don't cost a fraction.:ugh:

I've experienced that with a DGCA CLASS2/CASA/TC doctor in Chennai and I had to pay Rs. 7500 upfront which was meaningless but I couldn't help as that was the closest place that I could go to. Needless to say, I'm not going back!:*

HiAltFlyer is a Liar
 

Uncle HiAltFlyer,
I think I have met you on the same day UpFirst met you.
You were so upset. U regretted having lied while filling your Medical History for FAA Medical examination. Thanks to your advice I was very transparent with the Doctor.
The Doc in turn was very understanding, gave me a meticulous check out and gave me fitness.
To be fair to you uncle, may I request you to detail what tests were done for you, by whom (I mean the investigating labs name)---If these are some shady places I will help identify them for you.
By the way my tests were done at reputed establishments only and the charges were competitive. The doc is a good person there appears to be some misuderstanding, I hope you all can sort it out mutually.

Hmmm...4 new sign ups today posting their first posts supporting the doctor. I bet 'decentaviator', 'upfirst', 'flygirlindia' etc are all sign ups from the same IP address. This is not our first rodeo my friend....we spent way too much time in the 'crackpipe' and we can smell a scam artist from a mile away!

I will spread the word on my end too about this guy....as well as talking to my local FAA FSDO regarding this guy's AME accreditation....he won't have it for too long.

Criminal Doctor
 

Very obvious, the replies in favor of this doctor are written by himself. I was always the only person in his office and I never met or spoke with any of the defenders. When the FAA states that they are getting rid of him because of such complaints, clearly, many people where robbed by the crook. Why would I take the time to warn other pilots otherwise.

Cheers

Mr. Dr you have become a joker now, trying to protect yourself under the veil of different IDs. You have really proved, Perhaps that suspicion of fraud enhances the flavor.

So long Dr., the verdict is out in the public.:D

This post has become hilarious man !! And his FAA career is towards an end.

HiAltFlyer not Truthful
 

I came back to see if HiAltFlyer gave any details of the investigations done on him & from where were they done?
Disappointed to see he has given no info but continues to state untruths.
Uncle HiAltFlyer any problem in confirming:-
- where were the investigations done?
- what were the results? Were these genuine?
-R U over 60 years of age?:sad:
-what was this fever you sufferred?
-why did you hide the details from the Doctor?

If you don't answer I will presume you are a liar.
At your old age you surely have earned enough to retire gracefully.

This propdog seems to be too keen to wag his tail around you. Is it that it is your second identity?

Old Foreign Pilots should Quit India
 

The discussion here is nauseating.
HiAltFlyer if you are indeed old, sick and a foreign pilot operating in India, then you must spare a thought for thousands of young, fit, unemployed pilots in India.
Just go back to your country and fly there. Your country doesn't allows us to earn from flying. You have made enough money in your country and if you are fit you will have a job too, Why rave & rant here

It just gets better and better doesn't it?:}:}

You really couldn't make this up could you?

Patient confidentiality seems rather a tenuous concept if all these totally genuine new signups are privy to one person's medical history or are they? I'm absolutely sure the good doctor would never be party to such a thing.

Rob

A quick check of the IPs should shed some light on the brand new probationaries that have come out of thin air.

this is great fun, you can see the anger in the Doctors posts... lots of underlining and bold type of anger


flygirl how do you know the original poster is a male...??? You call him Uncle, thats a term for a male correct.

To me from the post I have no clue as to the sex of the poster ??? hmmmmmmmm :oh:

Remind me next time I am in getting a medical, to interview all other people in the doctors office to get their , true sex (some pilots are suspicious) , relevant medical history for the last 2 years, and also the last time they had a lose bowel movement. You know just in case I need to defend my doctor on pprune!

I'm not the good Doc, nor is this my first post. I am a ATP Rotory Aviator, as my post number 7 states; my experiences were quiet normal; the said Doctor was a Professional & courteous Gentleman. As for costs goes, they were no more than an FAA or CASA medical in those countries :ok:

The Doc charges 12000 rupees for an FAA renewal

In the U.S it costs $90 ( 4500 rupees ) to renew an FAA medical

The FAA doctors in mumbai also charge 5000 rupees for the renewal

The cost of an FAA renewal in the US can vary from location to location and type to type.For instance, a second class renewal in Montana may cost you $90/-but a first class renewal in Atlanta can set you back $ 175/-.
Not defending or maligning the Dotor here, just trying to keep the blanket statements from exceeding their elastic limits.:)

Unprofessional Doctor
 

Perhaps all that are saying that our man is over 60 is a disgrace to condemn him for this and also i would like to point out that Doctor Bhalla asked me for money but I told him it would be paid by the company never the less i did find he wanted to put me to test that i did not need like a tread mill and other things saying i had high blood pressure I am so damn fit at the age of over 60 fitter than most young people and have always been fit from daily exercises that the doctor forgot to sign my medical so i had to get a new one in the USA.
This clearly is not correct at all and the FAA was the ones who pointed this out to me also
Apart from that if it was not for the Ex Pat crews coming to India alot of young Pilots would not be flying today, as we have given chances to those that lack the necessary skills to fly and trained them to a suitable standard that they lacked.
If the system was a little better and less corrupt and corrected itself to the ICAO standards then we would see better standards throughout the aviation industry not just medicals
Those that have been trusted to do medicals and flight testing should also realise that not everyone is perfect and we all need to make money in the aviation Industry regardless,and help those that need help instead of asking for money we do not all have,this is why we are all working
Those who fall fowl shall be removed and the ICAO aviation People in high places will endeavour to eliminate those that cant do their job correctly
It is a shame we all have to blame each other and I say those that throw stones should not throw them my way
Aviation is such a small field that everyone gets to know regardless
We will see if this Doctor will be investigated regardless whether he is good or bad

who cares
 

Does not matter what he charges does he do a good job and help Pilots pass or is it a money making position corrupted It seem that he has several issues against him and this is why we all chat about it

Bad mannered Woman
 

A woman to call a Pilot her uncle is a disgrace who the hell does she think she is Pamela Anderson bet her Pilot skills could do with British CAA Check ride

Dr B, you are a disgrace to yourself, the medical profession, and aviation alike.
You're feeble, albeit, humorous attempts to unjustifiably stand up for yourself in the form of ridiculously obvious 'new posters', who all mysteriously reply one after the other, sharing similar writing techniques and use equally colourful english, really does show how desperate you really are.
I do hope this raises public awareness and you're revoked sooner rather than later.

FS.

Dr. Bhalla is strict but good. He means no harm
 

Dear friends,
I have known Dr. Bhalla for over 20 years. In fact at age 37 when I was the local Squash rackets champion he diagnosed me to have severe Heart disease requiring immediate attention. I thought he was a demon, an enemy. Soon I realised no matter how fit I felt there was indeed some problem-mainly very high blood pressure which docs said was damaging my system. A few months later I underwent Coronary bypass surgery at Apollo Madras and soon regained my flying fitness.
I could have died on the squash court were it not for the firmness of Dr. Bhalla. At that time I was flight commander and did lot of things to run him down. I carry the burden of my deeds on my conscience. After writing this in his defence today my conscience will feel lighter.
Cheers to the health of all and more strength to the courage of their conscience for Noble Doctors.
I don't normally involve myself inn writing on rumours, but this one time I thought the whole pilot community can benefit from my post

Wasnt there a saying in aviation that says

" You can be either an Old pilot or a Bold pilot but you cant be an
Old and Bold pilot " :}

this doctor is just ridiculous. hes clearly creating different accounts to save some face which in turn is making him look like a bigger fool. i hope he is caught and some action is taken against him and he definately shouldnt be issuing faa medicals. you are a real disgrace, it is because of people like you that cause others to formulate stereotypical opinions about Indians.

Hahahhah! What a show, I've been watching this thread time and again since last night and I got up early to see what the suspicious "new signups" names would be. This is getting funnier by the day!
But seriously, these unbecoming doctors should be listed out and reported. Or another way is to keep ourselves informed about the medical standards of the governing body (FAA/TC/DGCA) so we can walk out the place before the doctor goes ahead with the tests. Talk about Hippocratic Oath! *Sigh*

? Is HiAltFlyer Lying
 

Copied from an earlier post--I want to know the answer to these questions:

Uncle HiAltFlyer any problem in confirming:-
1.- where were the investigations done?
2.- what were the results? Were these genuine?
3. -R U over 60 years of age?http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...y_dog_eyes.gif
4.-what was this fever you sufferred?
5.-why did you hide the details from the Doctor?

If you don't answer I will presume you (HiAltFlyer :{) are a liar.

Truth hurts doc, truth hurts... :D

and the countless attempts of fake identity...well, now that you've been caught...be ready to get tangled in you own trap :)

so long...:)
