Manipal Hospital

Since June 2021, I have been feeling constant heaviness/pressure in my left chest. Before meeting Dr KP Srihari in Sept 2022, I had met other Cardiologists, and had got all the tests done such as Lipid profile, Echo, TMT etc. As per my Lipid profile report, I had high Triglycerides and low HDL. Also, my Echo indicated mild concentric LVH in my heart. As per doctor, LVH was because of high BP, and hence I was put on BP medicine(Olmezest 20mg, Proloment 12.5 XL). I was also prescribed Rozuvas F5 to treat my high triglycerides and low HDL. The BP medicine helped in bringing my BP from 150/100 to 120/80 and even lower. Also, my triglycerides went down from 350-400 to 100-110 in a few months of taking the medicine. However, the constant and irritating chest heaviness stayed as before. So, finally, I went through Coronary Angiogram also in Mar 2022, to rule out any blockage in my blood vessels; the report was negative. I also went through Gastro Endoscopy to find out if gas was causing the chest heaviness, but it was not the case either. The endoscopy indicated H Pylori infection my stomach, and I took treatment to clear the infection, but my chest heaviness was still there.

So I decided to change my Cardiologist; and based on one of my friend's recommendation, met Dr KP Srihari in Sep 2022. He went through my complete medical history very patiently and explained me the treatment plan. He got some basic tests such as Echo, TMT and Lipid profile done for me and told me not to worry about the chest heaviness. He advised me to continue with the BP and Triglyceride medication, and to have an active and healthy lifestyle that includes daily exercise and yoga. Overall, I found the Doctor very knowledgeable and friendly. He explained me my condition without sugarcoating any fact, but at the same time ensured that I had a proper plan to help myself. During my multiple interactions with the Doctor, I always felt he was genuinely interested in improving patients health condition, and nothing else. I would highly recommend him to anyone having any heart related ailment(s).

Little bit of history about how I reached Amarkishen - as you all are doing I did Google and browse for the best reviews.

Travelled from Melbourne (Australia) to check on my gastric issues and confirm what is the cause. Well the doctor started with endo ** **** ** **** ********** **** ** I dint mind as he had to do the preliminary checks.

Later found out there was small ulcers being formed on my small intestine.

I told him I am completely depending on him as I am in India just for few months and want to get rid of the issue completely. He promised that he will treat and take care of me.

He also tested for my pylori h which he did not bother to share the results at all (he asked me not to worry about it now)

He gave a 12 days course tablets *** ******* ****** ******** ****** *** ** *** ** ***** ******** *** ******** *** ****** Had a lot of questions which he did not answer to any of it properly (all he said was don't worry leave it to me) I still believes.

Then he gave me a next 12 days course only good was he added tablets to stop diarrhea and infact it stopped.****** *** ** ******** *** ******** ***** *** ** *** *** one fine day I stopped having the feel of hunger and lost a lot of weight .. the continuing weekend I had continuous fever which did not stop for more than 24 hours and I got worried it was a Sunday - unfortunately he isn't working on Sunday.

Later drove to emergency of Manipal Jayanagar so atleast I can get admitted . But due to many covid patients in emergency I was asked to bare it for another day and see him on OPD.

And it's Monday morning I go and meet him with almost no strength to talk and continuous fever still.

He sees me and as soon as I explained that I am waiting for two days to meet him. He started behaving bad - he said you should not come to OPD with fever symptoms as you are putting me at risk.

He spoke to someone on emergency and asked me to get COVID tested first to confirm and then bring me to OPD.

Every time you visit this man he needs a new consultation ******* ***** ** ***** ** ******** ***** ** ****** ** ***** ** ****** ***** **** *** *** ******* ** *** ****** ** *** ***** **** ** ** * ****** ** ** ****** ******** *** ** *** ******** ****** *** *** ****** **** * ****** *** ******* ***** **** ***** ****** ************ ****** ******* ** ********* **** ********* ** ***** ********* Later I had to find a different gastro in the emergency and had to admit to get my treatments started with.

Please guys stay away from this ** ***** doc. ** ***** *** *** * ******* If possible please go through your real time feedbacks like contacts through friends and family. ***** **** *** ************ ***** *** ****

I had a very bad experinece with this doctor,Jyotsana Madan.

I went there for my confirmation pregnancy check up after a long wait of 8 years.

This doctor asked me for some old reports which i had taken 1 year back & i had not taken it. She started shouting & yelling at mewho was pregnant for 2.months for 15 mnts .i was shocked to see a doctor behaving like that to a pregnant lady .She made the situation difficlut and me wait an hour after the accusing session ,I was on the verge of crying but she didnt bother.

I was very sad coming out of that hospital seeing this doctor instead of being happy being pregnant after a long wait.She is a doctor with non empathy ,arrogant ,rude * ** ********* .The next day with all these i got a little bleeding and she made me undergo the same scan which i took the previous day,*** **** ** *** **** *** *** ****** ***** ** **** * ****** ****I left this doctor Jyotsana Madan and went to another doctor *** ******** ** *** **** ** **** * **** ** **** ***** *** *** ********* *** *** **** *** *** ******Hence guys dont go with Jyotsana madan,*** **** **** *** ********* *** ******** ******** *** ****

My mother was diagnosed with goitre and she had problem with swallowing food . Dr Abdul Razack was suggested to me by some fellow doctor, and he suggested that, she has to go undergo surgery. Was very nervous and scared but doc gave us hope encouraged us that everything will be alright and there was nothing to worry. There were few complications, and surgery had to be cancelled but everything was handled properly by the doc . He assured us that everything will be ok and the surgery did go well. My mother is recovering well alhumdulillah. You have been such a great doctor. I wish others can experience your care and expertise as a doctor. Thank you.

I visited Dr. Mala Muralidharan today and today's first session was really really helpful for me to understand about me, my strengths and areas of improvement, to some extent. As sessions continues I will be knowing more about me. It was really an eye opener for me. Brought some confidence that someone is out there to listen and help me out. Thank you doctor for being a great listener, being empathetic, helpful and friendly and giving expert advice. I highly recommend Dr. Mala Muralidharan to everyone.Thank you.

I'm glad to finally find a doctor treating the cause and not focus only on the symptoms. She's Godsend for me. I feel validated instead of feeling the weird one.

It's tough to find acceptance for our behavior. To any person who feels this way, please get yourself diagnosed from a qualified health professional. Know that you're not alone, there are millions of people who are silently fighting. It is always better to know that you have a battle to fight instead of fighting a battle without even aware of being a part of it.

****** ** ****** **** *** straight forward nature , *** ***** ******* *** *** *********** ****** But one thing I didn't liked that she is not so patient friendly ,if you ask couple of simple question she gets irritated. I believe docotor freindly talk and motivating words means a lot. My wife struggles a bit to communicate with docotor. Docotor won't provide much room for interactions.I expect friendly nature and some time for interaction with docotor.Other than this one point she good. I will recommend this docotor (but not strongly)

Visited Dr Divya for wheezing cough. ******* ************* *********** *********** she saw all the medical records and all the previous history patiently.

After knowing the complete problem she did not suggest unnecessary blood tests nor unnecessary scans, she was very happy to spend the first 15 to 20 minutes to 1st letting me explain the actual reason and actual problem that I have been suffering for the past few months because of the cough.

I would highly recommend everyone to go for Pulmunologist with this Dr I’m very happy with the way how things were conveyed to me and also have things for explain and the way how the medications have been prescribed.

We visited Dr.Divyashree J to get a second opinion for plural effusion in lung for me. she listened to my health conditions which I was going through and she explained us the plan of action which we can take further for the treatment and started of diagnosis and guided us with the proper explanation for the line of treatment and she is very kind enough to respond to our calls or messages even at odd hours of the day for which we are very thankful for her. We have developed a personal bond as a good friend is very short span of time with her May God bless her with the best. thanks a lot Doctor for all your support and help and really appreciate for everything.
