Visited Dr. Maruthesh Gowda (Bariatric Surgeon) For Acid Reflux
Hoped for better: Explanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
I had history of acid-reflux and heartburn from last two years. I have gone through many treatment but nothing worked. In march 2021 I had my first endoscopy and I was diagnosed with small hiatal hernia. My doctor said symptoms can be cured by medication with lifestyle changes and surgery is immediately required. For one whole year I tried medication with lifestyle changes but the situation got worse for me. I had following symptoms:1) Acid- reflux2) Random chest pain (on both sides)3) it felt like something is stuck in my throat and I was always trying to cough it out.4) Heartburn, generally when I am hungry5) Shortness of breath.6) whenever I was eating something, I felt like vomiting.In march 2022, I went to Bangalore for the treatment and I had my second endoscopy. Now that small hernia is converted into a large hiatal hernia with fundal erosions.The doctor who did endoscopy has suggested me to go for 24 PH hour manometry before surgery. Instead I went to surgeon Gowda and told him everything. He talked for almost 10 minutes'and suggested me to go for fundoplication. He was kind enough to answer my doubts through WhatsApp, he made me sure that the symptoms will disappear and will not persist after the surgery. I will be able to Live a normal Life again So I went for surgery with him on 8th April 2022.Now after 2 months of surgery I am having following symptoms:1) unexplained left shoulder pain which is very severe sometimes even painkillers won't work. ******* ***** *** ** **** ***** *** **** ** ********** Whenever I ask him what's wrong he says it will settle down.2) sometimes I face problem in swollowing food 3) it feels like something is stucj in my throat and I am trying to cough it out.4) severe heartburn when I am hungry5) I lost around 5 kgs of wait6) shortness of breath7) my diet is cut by 50% because i feel full too early nowI would suggest to choose your surgeon carefully before going for surgery and do not avoid pH manometry. **** **** ******* ** *** *** ******** ** **** ******* *** **** ** ****** * **** ********* ****

I have been taking Mounjaro Injections for Weight loss from Dr Maruthesh Gowda. He keeps consultation simple. No additional or Mandatory programme to enrol. I have been losing 1.5 to 2 kg/week consistently for last 2 months. I feel energetic and really happy with progress. He gives you medications to take if needed for potential side effects and after following his instructions, I never had to use them. I had consulted another 2 doctors where I had to enrol for a programme but with Dr Maruthesh Gowda its just weekly cost. I would strongly recommend him for weight loss treatment.

I am writing this review 10 days after my laser surgery for anal fissure. The surgery took 20-30 mins and was painless since I was under anesthesia. As of now some pain still persists, but it's much better than the first 5 days. Dr. Gowda is one of the best doctors I have had because he's reliable, responsive and experienced in his field. It's very clear that he puts the patients interests and concerns over everything else and always responds on whatsapp. He will be my go-to doctor for all gastro related issues. I definitely recommend him!

*** ********* ***** ** *** ** *** **** ******* ** ********** When I faced an issue and consulted him, he diagnosed it very quickly and recommended laser surgery. The procedure went smoothly, and I am currently recovering well.
He listens very patiently and gives you the time and attention you need during the consultation. He clearly explains the issue and the treatment plan, making everything easy to understand.
Importantly, he did not push me to undergo surgery immediately when it wasn’t required at that time, although he clearly mentioned that the issue could only be permanently fixed with surgery. This honest and balanced approach really stood out.********* ***** ***** ** **** ** **** *** ******* *********** ***** ** *********** ***** ****** * *** ** *****. He is also very approachable and responds to messages and calls despite his busy schedule**** ***** **** * *** ** **** ****** Highly recommended.
