Koshys Hospital, Ramamurthy Nagar

I had met with accident recently and when i was strugling on road one girl actually refered me Doctor Shiva Kumar and i fell it as God's Instinct .

I am such Panic person who does not visit hospital even if any of my family members admitted in Hospital.I am very furious seeing different patients in Hospitals.

Doctor Shiva Kumar,is one of the best caring doctors and he actually made me in comfort zone and he explained clearly the procedure what he will be going through and which precautions the patient needs to go through which really helped me to recover soon.

Differnet Stages of Recovery:

1.Before Surgery

2.During Surgery

3.After Surgery

Before Surgery : My Bike fallen on my rightleg and which really was not helping me to stand and i was under impression doctor will just wrap my leg and i should be good togo home.

But from my X-ray and CT scan i got to know Tibia bone got fractured and need to under go surgery and need to stay in Hospital for 3 days.

Doctor explained me what exactly he would be doing as part of surgery but i was soo furious .

During Surgery : I was given anesthesia and Plate and Rods were inserted on my right leg for Tibia bone.

Surgery Took nearly 45 minutes and really i should thank this Doctor for just having stiches at 2 places instead of whole area .

i did not feel any pain during Surgery or even after post surgery alsoi did not have much pain due to medicines .

After Surgery:

Koshys Hospital services was good and nurses provided all medications on time and room was kept clean ,they helped me with physiotheraphy for first 2 days.

Physiotherapy:

I am blessed to have good physiotherapy lady and she was referred to me in Hospital.

She actually helped me to do different exercises and which really helped me recover from my pain little earlier .

Doctor also suggested me to do different exercise in my every visit.

Strongly suggest Dr. Shiva Kumar for Ortho related Problems to anyone,

Frustrated Service - A lot of time taking !!!!

I was visiting Koshys Hospital continuously from 2 days (28th and 29th Sep 2022) and each time the reception and ground staff is assuring to patients that soon doctor will attend you however based on my two visits, I have not seen Mr. Gowda was there for the OPD patient, he was just attending the surgeries and out of his 3 hours 30 minutes visiting hours (9:30 AM to 12 PM) hardly he is available 15-20 minutes for the OPD patient.

Being a OPD patient, if you are ready to wait for more than 2 hours then only you may prefer to meet Mr. Gowda else you may find some better alternatives in the city. I know surgical patients do require quite more attention but that doesn’t mean OPD patients are free for the entire day, they also have their regular commitments and deadlines, especially if someone is planning to take a day off to meet Mr. Gowda in Koshys hospital then it might not give you an appropriate results.

At my first visit on 28th Sep 2022 (around 10:25 AM) I have been informed that doctor is in OT and you need to wait or visit either in evening or tomorrow. At the next day on 29th Sep 2022 (around at 9:45 AM) where I was almost first in the queue to meet the doctor, again the same story Dr went for OT first and returned back by 11:35 or 40 AM. Overall if you are a surgical patient then it may be good choice for you but being a OPD patients hospital and management won’t respect you time, they might consider you are free for entire day and will treat accordingly.

I do have respect for OT patients but the hospital staff (who is already aware) that any surgery will take approx 2-3 hours so at least they could update the same to the patients however the billing desk is very well trained only for fixing the appointment* *** **** ********** ** ********* **************

The hospital management at-least update the proper visiting time for OPD patients because being an OPD patients if you want to meet Mr. Gowda in Koshys hospital, then timing are actually not from 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM, it’s just any random 30 minutes in between and almost upto 3 hours out of 3:30 hours is only for surgeries.

At the end, visiting to Mr. Gowda in Koshys hospital is not worth for the patients who do respect their time, rest it’s upto you…. Thanks!

My overall comments are based on waiting time because finally I decided to visit some other hospital since in my 2 days trial I never get chance to meet the doctor and at last I asked billing desk for the refund.

Very bad services in Koshys hospital !!!

Dr. Maruthesh Gowda is simply an extraordinary doctor, a very confident, honest, trustworthy and prompt professional. I was diagnosed with appendicitis and an ovary cyst just before I met him, I was so worried and scared due to ongoing pandemic but after meeting Dr. Maruthesh sir in Koshy's hospital Ramamurthy Nagar, his sincere and kind words made me feel relaxed. He answered every question. He was on point with everything that was necessary to be done. Next day I had Laproscopy surgery for appendectomy and cyst removal, and I was already confident that I'm in safe hands even during covid times. Entire process right from consultation, admission, surgery and discharge all were quickly done with ease. Post surgery support is also excellent with connect thru WhatsApp for urgent queries and online Video consultation available during pandemic. I'm grateful he's here in Bangalore. His own clinic is near Thanisandra in North Bangalore. I would recommend Dr. Maruthesh Gowda without reservations. He's one of the best surgeons. Thank you doctor.. 😊

I visited for heart burn and burping. Doctor initially gave some pills and antacids which helped me but I experienced another attack after few months. This time I had constipation, burping and left heart burn. Doctor suggested me to go for endoscopy. As suggested I came another day for the procedure but it didn't go well. We have 2 options of endoscopy 1. with sedation 2. without sedation Doctor started the procedure with second option by spraying some numbing gel into my mouth. As soon as doctor inserted the endoscopy pipe in my mouth I felt very strong urge for cough and had to push the doctor to remove the pipe. I didn't know wot is the complications of coughing during the process. It seems my prompt behaviour pissed doctor off :** ****** ****** ****** ********* ** * *** ********** He later suggested me for anesthesia ( which I would have opted as first option). But all these experience pulled me back from endoscopic testing. They returned my money without any issue. Doctor has recommended me some medicine and daily routine. I will follow them strictly and come back again with more preperation.

Visited for Anal fissure Surgery.

I found Dr. Maruthesh in practo app and visited him very next day.

I disagree with few negative feedbacks.

He keeps it simple and straight forward, practical and down to earth.

I witnessed his busy schedule with surgeries and outpatients. He took 6-7 surgeries along with my case in one day. Explained clearly and politely to me in OT about the surgery he did to me.

Visiting outpatients could delay sometimes as it depends on surgeries he handles , as he foresees unexpected issue when it is opened for surgery which he takes care very well without any further discussions.

I saw him rushing from OT to visit outpatients and rushed back for next surgery. I was waiting for him in reception. As soon as he saw me, he came to me and followed up with me if my issue is sorted. I see such friendly doctor very rare.

One of the best doctors i have had bcz he is reliable, responsive n experienced in his field. Inspite of his busy schedule, he replied to my queries on whatsapp as soon as he sees the query, even at late night also. I definitely recommend him. Thank you doctor!

I and my sister both had a pain attack for the second time in month of August 2021. We checked on oracto for nearby doctor and Dr. Maruthesh's name came first as per default sorting. We booked appointment at Koshys during mid August and he listened to both our Complains and queries and answered with the option available. Since we both siblings stayed alone and both were advised for a surgical procedure, we waited for our parents to be present in the city. In the meantime, we were in touch with Dr. Maruthesh and whichever tests he advised, we got it done and then once we made up our minds for the surgery, we fixed up a date and Dr. Maruthesh agreed for the same. On the day of surgery, Dr. Maruthesh met us, and was very cordial and answered all our queries and offcourse he made sure our surgery went well. He was also keeping our parents informed on the status of the surgery of both of us. Next day after the surgery, he visited us in our wards and clarified all doubts we had and also shared his advice on what all things we could do, and what all things we shouldn't and for how long. As of date while I am writing this feedback it's 2nd week after the surgery and still he is courteous enough to answer our questions or share his advice if we share any problem or concern. I strongly recommend everyone to visit him for his speciality - gastroenterology. We would like to thank Dr. Maruthesh and wish him all the best for his happiness, well being and success in all endeavours.

I visited Dr Marutesh Gowda for long term Gastric related issues along with recent gallbladder stones on 26th March 2026. The first visit with doctor Marutesh Gowda itself gave a very positive outcome due to his extreme ********* *** confidence. Doctor listened very carefully and patiently to all my symptoms and issues, and quickly understood my priority treatment. He immediately suggested for Laproscopic Cholecystectomy as my gallbladder was inflamed. Since this was my very first surgery, I was little nervous, but I was made comfortable by the entire team and mostly doctor's advice. I got admitted the very next day and got operated on 28th March 2026. Surgery went really quick and smooth. I was out of OT within 30 minutes. Since the surgery was done on time before any complications could have occured due to my inflamed gallbladder, my recovery was painless and fast. Staff were extremely helpful and guided me and my family through the entire process very well. Co-ordinator Julie arranged the entire surgery with Dr Marutesh Gowda's suggestions and guidance the right way, and accommodated our requests and attended our concerns on time. Doctor helped my surgery get done at a very affordable price, since I did not have insurance. Dr Marutesh Gowda is a true blessing for us and all patients. I highly recommend the doctor and clinic for my entire wonderful experience.

Consulted initially for abdominal pain, ECG is done to rule out heart problem. Prescribed medicine for days and advised to consult again if it is reoccurring with preparation for endoscopy .

After 2 months, I got fever which is diagnosed as jaundice. During treatment for that in ultrasound test gallbladder stones are found. I was advised to consult surgeon.

I have consulted Dr. Maruthesh Gowda by preparing for Endoscopy. Doctor did endoscopy, found that one stone dropped from gallbladder. Doctor advised that it is better to go for removal surgery as there is possibility that stones may stuck in bile ducts which would further complicate the process. He shared me one web page with all details regarding gall bladder stones for patient education.

I got admitted into hospital on 8th of Jul, after starting the procedure Doctor stopped the surgery as he suspected cancer. I was sent for MRCP (MRI) for further analysis. Discharged with advise that surgery will be done after a week.

Surgery is further postponed due to my LFT values. Finally surgery was dine on 30th July. It is successful.

Though I have concerns with Koshy's hospital. I am happy with the doctor.

Though some may complain doctor do not give time for discussions., he will limit to what is essential.

Doctor do not prescribe tests / medicine unnecessarily.

An year back I used to suffer from regular stomach aches and vomitings. Checking Practo I visited Maruthesh Gowda sir. He treated so well and I never got vomitings and stomach ache again till today. Having that trust, I had happened to take my mother for a consultation as she has been suffering from a pain on right side of stomach from past 4+ years. She was always hesitant to visit doctors and used to keep following some home remedies for that pain.I decided to take her for a consultation. Three weeks back I got my mother consultation done and Maruthesh sir diagnosed that she is having gallstones. He explained so well with a picture that even my mother also understood what it is all about. Sir had shared few articles on gallstones for our own study and he suggested us to go for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy surgery. A week back surgery is done by Maruthesh Gowda sir and he did it impeccable. Now my mother is doing normal without any post surgery issues. We all loved Maruthesh sir treatment and I wish he treat more and more patients so that people can have healthy and happy life.

Thank you Maruthesh Gowda sir. Thanks for you and your family.

I recommend hik to everyone there who ever is suffering from Bariatric issues.

I had major stomach pain and vomitting twice with the same symptoms within 3 months, and after the second one I got tested and was diagnosed with gallstone in USG. So I started looking for gastroenterologist on practo and found Dr. Maruthesh Gowda.Based on the reviews on practo and his experience, we decided to consult him,though he is located in Whitefield and I m in Bannerghatta.After looking into my USG and blood reports, he suggested surgery, as the only treatment, and some medication till we get the surgery done. He also shared an article on my whatsapp to read and understand the issue. Apart from it, even I did my reasearch and finally, I made up my mind and decided upon the date. Once the paper work was done, I got admitted to Koshys.On the day of my surgery, I didn't meet the doctor, but my parents met him both before and after the surgery and he assured them that the surgery was smooth. The next day he came to my room to meet me and informed and clarified all post surgery precautions that I need to take care of and answered all the question calmly and to the point.I would highly recommend him for his professionalism and the best part is that I can contact him over whatsapp for any queries or issues, even post my surgery.Thank you Dr. Maruthesh Gowda.
