When the world is quick to paint medical professionals with a broad and often unjust brush, you and your team stood tall as a testament to what true healing looks like — not just clinical, but deeply human.

Dr. Arpandev Bhattacharya — Your vigilance and expertise in endocrinology **** ** *** **** ** ***** *** ******* laid the very foundation of this journey.

Based on lot of research and multiple suggestions from different people, I decided to consult Dr. Vidyadhara S (HOD Spine Department - Manipal Hospital) for my mother Renu Anand's spine problem as she was suffering from Leg pain & numbness since last few years due to her spine issue. While consultation he patiently examined deeply, listened to her problem and gave us the much needed confidence and advise to undergo a spine surgery L3/L4 and L5/L6 fusion/decompression. Because of his level of knowledge, confidence and expertise we did not give a second thought and decided to go ahead for the surgery. Her surgery happened last week on 18th Aug 2022 and I am happy to say that she started walking on the evening of her surgery date itself and as today its her 5th day post surgery she is improving everyday. Dr. Vidyadhara is a true gem and a Big Thanks to him for being so much more than I ever would have thought I could find in a senior doctor. Shoutout for a great team of doctors headed by Dr. Vidyadhara especially Dr. Bala, Dr. Ashish and Dr. Prabhakar for their guidance and support starting from the first day itself till today. I have never came across such a wonderful and a professional team of doctors who tirelessly work 24×7 for the service of their patients. Thanks to Dr. Vidyadhara and entire spine team of Manipal for the tremendous skill in performing my mom's surgery. Your talent and caring manner is a credit to the medical profession. You guys are truly a lifesaver... Thank you, again !!!

Our experience with Dr. Amrita Rao over a period of four months was deeply disappointing. My wife was pregnant at the time, and we had been consulting her during that period. We were covered under a government medical scheme, applicable for me. As per this scheme, consultation fees are subsidized—about half the standard private rate**** ********* **** ******* ******** ***** ***** *** ** *** ********** ******* *********************** *** ****** *** ******** ** **** * ********** ******** ******** ****** ******** ***** **** ******* ************ ***** **** ** ************* * *** **** *** *** **** *** * ***** ************ **** * ******* **** *** ************* *** ** *** ************* ** *** **** ************** ****** *** ******** ****** ******* I had expected a more balanced and professional approach from a medical practitioner.

Throughout the consultation period, our genuine concerns were often met with dismissive or curt responses. For example, basic questions were sometimes answered **** ******* ****** **** ******* ******* ** ************ Although we considered changing doctors earlier, ** ******************* ** ** ***** ** ************* *********** *** ******** ** *********** *** **** **** ************ **** ** ********** *** ** ** * *** **** ************* *** ********** *********** ********** a simple and respectful communication early on would have prevented months of discomfort. While we were grateful to have eventually made a change, we sincerely hope that future patients are met with greater professionalism and empathy.

I am writing this review after 12 weeks of my son’s right shoulder surgery [arthroscopic bankart repair].

I came to know about Dr. Sushal Shanta Kumar through our long trusted and renowned pediatrician doctor.

Based on this advice, I consulted Dr. Sushal to understand the treatment process for the injury sustained by my son.

He patiently heard the case, physically examined my son and forthwith identified the problem causing discomfort to my Son. This was corroborated by the MRI Scan report as well.

Dr. Sushal after careful examination of all reports and physical examination of my son suggested us to go for bankart surgery for repair of the shoulder. He drew the parts of the shoulder and explained in detail the root cause of the issue causing discomfort to my Son’s right shoulder. He as well showed a video which had complete details that helped us understand, the root cause of the discomfort and the treatment process for repair of the injury, in a more practical way. These treatment qualities and skills are the true traits of a real experienced expert doctor.

The surgery was done in Manipal Hospital by Dr. Sushal and his team.

We were in the hospital for two nights and were discharged on the third day.

In the post-surgery consulting visits, he checked upon the recovery progress and taught some exercises as well.

My Son is currently in physiotherapy sessions and is on the road towards complete recovery.

A big thanks to Dr. Sushal Shanta Kumar for supporting us through out with all his expert skills and a very good attitude. He was always there whenever we needed his support.

He is a wonderful orthopedic who is always helpful, compassionate & lovely to speak with, at every appointment.

We are extremely happy to have come to know about Dr. Sushal who in my personal opinion is arguably the best shoulder orthopedic expert doctor in Bengaluru.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Sushal Shanta Kumar to anyone requiring a shoulder or any orthopedic injury treatment.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Manoj Kumar, one of the finest orthopedic doctors and surgeons I have ever met. He treated my mother with exceptional care and skill, performing a full hip replacement surgery with such precision and compassion that today, she is able to walk again — all thanks to him.

Dr. Manoj Kumar is not just a doctor; he truly becomes like a member of your family. He treats every patient as his own — like his mother, father, brother, or sister — with genuine affection, empathy, and an immense sense of responsibility. His dedication and the personal care he extends to each patient are truly remarkable.

He is always available for his patients — whether it’s day, evening, or even late at night — and never hesitates to see or advise them, even on weekends or holidays. His commitment to their well-being goes far beyond expectations.

What makes Dr. Manoj Kumar even more special is that he is not a doctor driven by money, but by true satisfaction in healing and helping his patients. His focus is entirely on what is best for them — providing the right advice, honest opinions, and compassionate care every single time.

It is rare to find a doctor who blends such deep medical expertise with such sincerity, humility, and humanity. I feel extremely fortunate that my mother was under his care. The difference he has made in her life, and in ours, is beyond words.

Thank you, Dr. Manoj Kumar, for your outstanding care, selfless service, and unwavering commitment to your patients. *** *** ***** *** ***** *** I sincerely wish every patient could experience the same level of compassion and excellence that you embody.

Hello! Recently, my husband underwent an Acute Appendicitis surgery, where his appendix inflamed and was filled with pus. He complained of massive abdominal discomfort and kept vomiting without any food and water.

My husband, Sudip Bhattacharya got diagnosed of the above health condition on 6th January, 2023 at Manipal Hospital, Emergency Unit, at Old Airport road, Bengaluru. Dr K. Hemanth Kumar was the doctor, who we had consulted. He and his team were so fast, that they began the treatment immediately and prepared my husband mentally and physically for the surgery.

I must share that Dr K. Hemanth is a very empathetic medical professional and he took special care to ensure that his patient and family are all comfortable and confident. The surgery was done on the same day at night 9 pm and by 11 pm, my husband was talking with us.

The Dr briefed us post the surgery about his condition and conveyed that my husband is perfectly fine and will recover soon. We were asked to stay in the hospital for a week time and Dr K. Hemanth Kumar's team took the needed care to ensure that my husband recovered soon.

I can only say one thing that we all are grateful to Dr K. Hemanth Kumar for his expert medical attention during and post the surgery. Today on 19th Jan, 23, we went to show my husband to the Dr K. Hemanth Kumar and learnt that my husband is perfectly fine. We all need such good and professional Drs who treat patients with so more care and affection. Thank you, Deboshri Bhattacharya

I had a very disappointing *** ************** experience with this consultation.

First, before the scheduled call, a junior doctor called me and took all the history and I had already sent the reports in advance. When I finally got on the call with the main doctor, he was clearly in a hurry, barely gave me any time( less than a min), and immediately said “I’ll write one test, you do that, then we will talk.” I tried to ask a few questions about the genetic report that I had already done, *** ** ******* **** ** ****** **** ******* *** ******* **** ** ******** **** ** ***** * ****** ******** ** ******** *** ***** ***** **** *** ******** ** ** ** ** ******* *** ******* *** **** ***** *** ******** Instead, I felt like he was just rushing to end the call, **** ** ******* ******** ** ****** ** ******* ********* To this moment, I haven’t even received a prescription from that call.

I took my father to manipal hospital in the year 2018. My father was a Craniopharyngioma(Brain Tumor) exsicion patient since 2005. Till 2017 my father was treated by other neurologist in some other reputed hospital. In the year 2018 his condition got worse. He had 90 percent loss of memory and mobility issues. The doctor from the other reputed hospital couldn't identify the root cause. We had no hopes of my father survival. At last we went to manipal hospital. Luckily we chose Dr Manjunath. I think he is God for us. He went through the patient past history. He patiently treated my father. Of course he had to start from scratch with his medications. My father was terminally ill. We slowly got little hopes of his survival. The severity of the illness was to such an extent, he was hospitalized four times in the span of 6 months. It's very challenging to retrieve mobility and trust me doctor successfully retrieved both mobility and 90 percent lost memory. Doctor used to visit even on sundays. He is such an amazing doctor. He listen to the events occurred very carefully. Retrieving 90 percent memory is not a joke at the age of 65. It's challenging and yes the doctor did it. Doctor tried to find the root cause in every way, from doing all kinds of tests to sending samples to nimhans hospital (for spl tests). Hats off to you sir. My father is an Rtd Police officer. He is doing well since 2018. My father is having regular consultation with the doctor. I highly recommend doctor for any neurological issues. Writing the reviews from Ireland.

** *** **** ******* ***** ** *** ********* *** ** **** ** *** *****. I am writing this review on behalf of my family and a context is required hence a lengthy review.

My mother in law MALLIHA,65Y had complained of breathlessness last year in August. She stays in Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu with her husband. She was admitted to the nearest hospital where her diagnosis said 90 percent blockage in 2 arteries in heart. She was advised to undergo a double angioplasty, which she did but after a mere 50 days she got a major attack. During the probe it was found that one of the arteries was ruptured during the angioplasty procedure and only a bypass could make her survive.

We, helplessly called multiple hospitals in Bangalore to get an appointment, you name it - Narayana Hrudalaya said no appointment for 15 days, Fortis didn't reach out to us on time while we tried long queues in call centers, and Apollo gave a delayed response saying it would cost 10 lakhs+ and only if you say yes we can make the arrangements.

Manipal was the only hospital where we were able to at least speak to the doctor directly. Thankfully we reached out to Dr. Lalchand Bandagi on time. During our first video call consultation he assured us if we can bring her to the hospital by the next day or two he will perform the surgery asap. He was quick enough to study her reports and spoke to us in a way that made us believe she can survive. We brought her overnight in ambulance all the way from Tirunelveli to Manipal. And on the same day her bypass was done, it was a 5 hour long surgery. Dr. Lalchand literally saved her from misery, actually all of us. It was a very complicated surgery and the entire team was on it. His reviews and availability even after months of the procedure was impeccable. The smile on his face and hand on our shoulder made us believe that there is hope. He was so hopeful. We would recommend Dr. Lalchand and the hospital any day. Our entire family was going through so much and he was indeed a ray of hope for all of us.
