Hoped for better:Â 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. **** **** ******* ** *** *** ******** ** **** ******* *** **** ** ****** * **** ********* ****

Happy with:Â Doctor friendliness
The slot available is only 10 minutes. It is highly inadequate for patients who have a chronic problem, to explain their issues to doctor, and for doctor to understand the issue and write a prescription. It is particularly required for patients who don’t stay in metro cities, and hence don’t have access to good healthcare in places of stay.
I suggest Practo should give option of longer time slot (e.g. 20 minutes ), and if required, more fees can be charged for the same.
We discussed a chronic problem and an immediate problem (related to chronic) with doctor. We felt 10 minutes was very inadequate for the same. Even doctor was in a hurry and we also didn’t insist, since we knew our time slot is only 10 minutes.

I was a little skeptical after reading some of the negative comments about the Doctor. But the way he promptly responded to those made me consult him. I had a very good experience at the clinic. I hardly had to wait for 5 minutes before consultation and came out of the clinic within 15-20 minutes. Both the receptionist and Doctor were friendly. I was having stomach aches and digestive issues. The doctor patiently listened to the symptoms, did a physical exam and diagnosed the issue as post infective IBS. He prescribed some tablets, suggested some lifestyle changes and asked to take an ultrasound scan and mail him if the issues persisted beyond 3 days. I am writing this story after completing my course of tablets and after an extra few days. My digestive issues are completely healed now and I am feeling good as ever.Thank you Doctor for your help. Readers, please don't be concerned about the negative feedbacks!!

I visited Dr Gowda at his Hegde Nagar clinic around 50 days ago after observing Rectal Discharge.
Dr Gowda was very effective in diagnosing the issue and immediately suggesting an MRI fistulogram. He was caring and empathic in explaining all options for my treatment while starting me on an antibiotic course to reduce the discharge. He was able to correlate both diagnostic and clinical findings in suggesting the right course of treatment.
I could not get the surgery done by him (due to my own reasons)- but purely on his basis of keeping the patients interest first, his accurate diagnosis, his friendliness and his warmth in explaining both the issue and treatment options - I would recommend and rate him highly for his field and expertise.
God bless him for all his efforts.
