2 years back my father-in-law faced a severe accident. His both legs fractured. Left leg tibia bone and right leg femur bone. He got treated in Sparsh hospital by another doctor. There he got closed reduction internal fixation done in both the bones. Started recovering and was able to walk after 3 months.
Soon after 1 year he started pain in left leg tibia bone. When we went through X-ray the screw has been broken inside also the tibia bone didn’t get joined properly.
Then we got to know about Dr. Karan from one of our relative, who has been treated for ankle fracture from him. He was very much satisfied with his treatment. He is one of the best orthopedic doctor.
We consulted Dr. Karan. He went through the x-ray and examined my father-in-law. He clearly explained what the problem is and what kind of treatment has to be done. He went through medical records of earlier surgery. He gave enough time to clarify all our queries. He suggested for exchange nailing treatment to replace the existing rod. Within two days he operated. The operation was really successful. He properly guided us how to put slowly weight on that leg and how much rest is required. Finally my father-in-law is able to walk freely. In the recent x-ray it clearly showed good progress of bone formation in the joint.
Entire treatment process was very smooth. Dr. Karan is very much approachable to clarify all queries. Post operation also we visited couple of times to his clinic ‘Life Orthocare’ for dressing and consultation. I definitely recommend Dr. Karan for any kind of orthopedic treatment.

I had near fatal accident 5 years ago,had brain haemorrhage,rib fractures n left hand fracture. All healed except my hand fracture. After 4 unsuccessful surgeries,I came to Dr.Karan Kukreja after an Orthopedist recommended him. He went thru my medical history and the complications of my previous surgeries. He was determined to fix my bone n make me surgery-free. He did a detailed analysis of my bone and came up with a solution,though I was hesitant initially but got convinced by his sincerity and dedication towards his patients. My bone healed after 5 years of failed surgeries (6 in total).Its been a year of the last surgery, my hand is normal now and am able to do all the work with the hand including driving 2 wheeler. Am really grateful n thankful to Dr.Karan for saving me from more surgeries. He is the best Ortho in Bangalore,very calm,composed,knows his field ,has in-depth knowledge,explains the problem as many times as patients ask without getting irritated. Thank you so much Dr. for giving me hospital free life.

If there is someone who is royally breaking up the negative stereotyping some doctors have managed to make in the minds of the patients, its him.
Visited for my mom's lower limb pain and she underwent a successful hassle-free knee replacement by him.
I have to say this, he is one of the most polite, professional and clinically sound surgeons we have come across. His approach is clearly indicative of 'first do no harm'. Add to it, he is communicative, and has a re-assuring aura about him. Doctor is well learned and very bright in my opinion. Mother's recovery was also smooth and painfree and results were good. He explains everything at every stage: consultation, pre and post surgery, and keeps your expectations practical and real by making you aware of every issue and prospective solution, and the extent achievable.
In short , he is honest and makes no false promises. Guess, that what he means by patient centric approach.
I have to sincerely thank him and his entire team for everything, and recommend him strongly.

Today evening I visited Dr Karan Kukreja at Manipal for pain in my right feet . I also have heel spur .He examined my foot and explained to me in detail about the issue. He also showed me some exercises which I am supposed to do . Unlike other doctors who only show interest in patient if the issue is complex or they can do an upcoming surgery on him/her , Dr Karan is very different. He treats everything with equal seriousness. I have seen doctors tend to neglect minor issues and feel interested only when they see a chance to do surgery . For a patient every issue even a small one is important as it is about his/her health. Dr Karan is definitely that doctor who will hear to your small queries and small issues and address them completely. He gives full information and doesn't rush. Today I could see he was very busy yet he addressed my every issue every query. I left happy and with a light heart . Lot of respect for you doctor.
. Thank you . You are gem .

I was having grievous shoulder pain, despite of consulting orthopedic doctors ** **** *** ** no use. When checking in my friends circle I was referred by my friend to consult with Dr. Karan for his ********* treatment. After consulting Dr. Karan (Good thing about his consultation, he listens to patients without jumping to conclusions and also tries to avoid surgery in first place) suggested to go through physiotherapy for about two months and post that also if pain is not reduced, he said we will think of surgery.I have been doing Subscapular physio exercise, my labral tear pain has reduced to good extent.Thanks to Dr.Karan.

I saw Dr.Karan after I had a fall.There were many patients but he obliged as it seemed like an mergency and I was In extreme pain.On examination he suspected a fracture and advised a X Ray.he also gave a painkiller injection and applied a splint .Xray confirmed fracture,so doctor applied plaster at his clinic itself and I have to see him after two weeks now.
I found him to be calm and patient.what I like best was that there was reasonable addressal of my queries and post treatment care was explained very well.even better,no extra tests or medicines prescribed.
I will definitely recommend him to friends and family as I find this doctor very well read and he has no air about him.entire process was smooth and it seems his dedication for his patients well being is strong!

My daughter’s finger got twisted and fractured.
Doctors fixed it with a slight bent. It is not straight as it was in natural mode. We are not satisfied with the treatment.

I had joint pain in arms and legs and fever. After fever subsided, i saw the doctor. He tried to understand my health history. Asked to get some blood tests and x-ray. Next day based on the reports, he gave medication. I started feeling relieved within a day. But before you visit the clinic, always call so that you dont miss him as he is busy, associated with other hospitals also.
