Apollo Speciality Hospitals, Jayanagar

I had consulted Dr Harsha regarding my father's problem about enlarged prostrate at his clinic. My father was 72 years old

looking at the reports he mentioned that the prostrate was exceptionally large in size and requires immediate surgery, he also

mentioned that the prostrate was affecting his kidney functioning, Dr Harsha also asked us to do one more scan to be sure as the

scan that we had done was few months old. We got another scan done at Clumax and the scanning doctor also mentioned the same that

the prostrate was big and requires immediate surgery. From all these discussions it looked like the surgery was a routine one.

Dr Harsha asked me to get my father admitted to Appolo jayanagar for the laser surgery. My father was asked not to take any food nor water

from the morning of the surgery. He was wheeled away for the surgery at around 12:45 in the afternoon. Till 6:30 in the evening we

didn't receive any news of what was happening inside. Dr Harsha then came and informed that they had done 4.5 hour surgery to remove the

enlarged prostrate and during the fag end of the operation my father's BP had started dropping, so they stopped the operation. He informed us

that the operation was 90% done and they will finish the surgery the next day. We went to check out on my father, he looked very tired but

looked stable and spoke to us as well. The next day, Dr Harsha told us that they will push doing the surgery by one more day so that my father

can recover. On this day, my father though in ICU was fully conscious, was consuming solid food and was talking with all family members. We were

confident that he will completely recover. That night at 8:00 PM , I received a call from the hospital that my fathers hemoglobin levels are down

and a blood transfusion was needed. So I went to the hospital and signed the consent forms. The next day early morning, my father had a cardiac

arrest (he didn't have any heart related issues) and he was effectively put on ventilator with his brain completely sedated. The doctors at ICU

told us that since my father's heart had stopped beating for couple of minutes, it was highly likely that his brain was damaged due to lack of blood

flow to the brain, so to prevent further damage they had sedated his brain. They told us that the only way they could find out his current brain

condition was by doing an MRI.To do the MRI my father had to be moved from 4th floor to ground floor, but his EEG and BP was not coming out to be normal.

For 4 days we waited for it to stabilize. After that an MRI was done and it looked like that no major damage had happened to the brain. We were

very hopeful that my father will make a full recovery. Dr Harsha told us that they will start removing the brain sedation drugs. Next day, my father

developed some infection as he was on the ventilator for close to 5 days now. His BP again started fluctuating. After one more day, all the doctors

told us that it is very difficult to save my father due to the infection and he was not responding to the treatment at all. Finally on the 8th day,

my father had another cardiac arrest and passed away. ***** ******** ** **** ***** ******** *** ***** **** **** ********* *** ***** * *** ***** *** *********** *** ** *** ****** ******* ** ** *** ** * *** ********** ***** ** ******** *** *** *** ********* ***** *** ******** ******** ** ******* ****** **** ******** ***** *** **** *** *** ******* ******* ** *** ******* * ********** ***** ************* * ****** ** **** ******** ****** *** ********** ** * ******* ** *** * ******* ********** *** *** **** ******* ***** *** ******** ***** **** ***** ** ******** **** *** *** ******* ***** ***** *********

Visited Doctor twice in the month of April & May and twice he & his entourage of junior doctors changed medicines. **** **** * ********** ******. Dr Ravinder Mehta both times never sat across the table during the process of listening to symptoms and analyzing with explanation to the patient. The Doctor might be busy but for me I am my own concern and the transaction is not charitable .One of the junior docs pointed out a WhatsApp number to communicate on in times of emergency. And accordingly when I was out of breath while walking my dog my wife sent scan copies of ALL pathological reports & All Consulting Doctor prescriptions with explanation of how the events unfolded during the day at 1 pm and called and confirmed on the WhatsApp number if the message was received right. The owner of the WhatsApp number might be she is someone in the doctors team looking after bookings or so (pls salute to whatever job you do madam) confirmed at 1.30 pm that the team of doctors are busy in OPD duty. I got the same reply while checking up (called the WhatsApp number) at 5 pm & 20.30 very lax approach from this team of Doctors.

After consulting multiple surgeons in the US, Chennai, and Bangalore for my rapidly worsening arthritis, I chose Dr. Deepak Inamdar for robotic total knee replacement (TKR) in Bangalore. While his expertise in using Mako robotic technology was a factor, I was most impressed by his total accessibility and patience.

Dr. Inamdar guided me through my initial hesitancy, questions about recovery, and concerns over the cost (since I had no insurance). With my family’s support, he clearly explained the process, hospital stay, and the painful, prolonged nature of recovery.

Both my right and left knee surgeries were performed by Dr. Inamdar using the Mako robot in mid-October 2025. The hospital process was painless, and the medical and nursing teams at Apollo Specialty Hospital were competent and supportive throughout.

Discharged after four days, I began dedicated at-home physiotherapy. Three weeks post-surgery, with the stitches removed, I am moving my limbs more freely. While the journey involved anxiety and pain, Dr. Inamdar and his team made it a fulfilling experience.

For the first time I am writing any review for a doctor as I felt it was utterly needed to save some other patient from wasting thr valuable time. If I have to define him in words that would be.. rude, unfriendly, insensitive, judgemental. For every word that a patient speaks is being judged and is spoken to in a sarcasm which definitely does not help in curing the disease!! I was told to not think about the problem in spite of the fact that I already told him that I dont have time to sit and think about anything. But if pain is thr it is thr. Later I was diagnosed with an infection in foot being the reason for my problem and it could be worse if I would have just sat and not think about the pain. **** **** **** ******* ** ********** *** ******* ** **** *** ***** **** **** ** ******** ** ***** *** *** ******** He dint even bother to talk properly and immediately called sister for giving reports of some other patient while we were still thr sitting for some solution. * **** ***** *** **** ******** ** ** ****** **** *** trust me I have had some very bad experiences but still never felt the need of writing a review. I dont mind anybody calling me. And i am not keeping this anonymous.
