UHID: AHB0000837038

I am working as Police Head constable at Belagavi Police Head quarters and got diagnosed with Vericose Vein problem around 10 years back. As a treatment initiative consulted different doctors and had different prescriptions and treatments, used to have temporary relief and the pain used to re-appear after a gap.

This repeated pain and suffering kept on impacting my personal and family life a lot.

Then came to know about Dr.Sunder Narasimhan (Senior Vascular Surgeon) at Apollo Hospital, Bangalore.

The Senior doctor with his team of expert doctors analysed my case thoroughly and performed all the necessary diagnosis (Lower Limb DVT) and tests. The team explained to me and my family the situation and the blockage in the nerves and performed ' Peripheral Angiogram and Balloon Angioplasty.

From the above medical terminology and explanation by the doctors what me and my family understood was that 'The main vein which was carrying blood from the lower part of the body below the waist to the upper part was blocked and there was pressure on the side nerves which started carrying the blood. This pressure on the small nerves made them to bulge due to which I started feeling the pain in the leg, thy and waist.

SURGERY: Dr. Sunder Narsimhan and his team performed Balloon Angioplasty initially and Dr Sunder sir told us that Peripheral Angiography and Peripheral Angioplasty need to be performed immediately or has to be done soon to get relief, if not would severe the pain and consequences. Me and My family decided to go ahead with the vascular surgery.

EXPERIENCE: The whole process took 3 days and the team of doctors and nurses took utmost care of me and even the facility and approach was very friendly for me and my family members.

The doctor and his expertise in this field has benefited me and has relieved me of the pain. Its 15 days now and am recovering and continuing with two sets of tablets as prescribed by the doctor.

I chose Dr. Sundar Narasimhan for consultation and subsequent surgery for my dad's ruptured varicose veins because I read about him on the net and his several years of expertise and experience in vascular surgery. But I was shocked to realise later that despite conducting all sorts of tests on my Dad who is 83 years plus, Dr. Narasimhan did not inform us that there were noticeably elevated pus cells and that there was an existing urinary tract infection that he should be treated for immediately. Instead he went ahead with the surgery of the ruptured vein and also performed another one on the second leg saying that there was hardening there too. post surgery when the wound did not heal he washed his hands off saying that my dad needed to consult a dermatologist and that his surgery was without blemish! he is rude, insulting and treats patients, even as old as my father with scant respect and does not suggest appropriate post operative care. The hospital charges are exorbitant and the final bill much higher than the estimate provided on admission despite no additional treatment or procedures being performed. I would advice anyone going in for any vascular procedure under Dr. Sundar Narasimhan should definitely think twice and seek multiple opinions before agreeing. Due to his callous and indifferent attittude my father had to be hospitalised a month after surgery because of the urinary tract infection about which the doctor should have advised at the first instance and possibly deferred surgery till that was treated. And now almost a month and half after surgery my dad is still suffering pain and festering wound at the place of surgery.

Before I begin I would like to thank Dr Sundar and his team from bottom of my heart for good treatment given to My father(Basanagouda) who was suffering from Aortoiliac occlusion disease.

Before meeting Dr Sunder, my father had already undergone angiogram with other doctors for the same problem but unfortunately that was not a success story, my father uses to complain same problems (unable to walk after 100 meters, thigh and legs pain, lower backache).

Met doctor Sunder who could not only diagnose the root of the problem, also the best possible way of treating it. As the blockage was just starting of the right iliac arteria and there were possible chances of occlusion getting passed to left iliac artery.

Special thanks to Dr Sunder for diagnosing the problem and explaining with patience and stretching himself till night 12 O’clock to make sure that the post operation procedures taken care and patient is relaxed.

Dr Sunder did Angioplasty to my father to clear the blocks and inserted stent. I’m happy and relaxed now as my father is Happy and relaxed he can walk and also he got relived from the pain

Thank you so much for you care and support Dr Sunder.

Warm regards,

*** ********** ** ******** *** ** *** **** ******** ******* ** ********** We consulted him for treating my father who had developed severed block on the right carotid artery and a moderate block on the left. He explained to us the complete procedure in-detail, different treatment options available, cost, period of hospitalization, risks involved and recovery time. Since my father was an ex-employee of Government of India (GOI), we had to get approval in-advance for hospitalization. Dr. Narasimhan supported us in the complete approval process. During hospitalization, procedure and recovery, Dr. Narasimhan was very courteous with my father and us. He ensured that the treatment imparted to my father was the best such that his recovery was speedy. Apart from that, he went out of his domain expertise to suggest other specialists based on prognosis of my father to avoid repeated hospitalization. We were very happy interacting with him and would be very happy to recommend him.
