We first met Dr. Vikas when my brother needed a fairly complicated surgery. From start to finish, he was thorough, careful, and honestly just very reassuring to have around during a stressful time* ** * ******* ** **** **** ** **** ** **** ****** *** what stood out most was how genuine he was - no fuzzy answers, no rush, just honest explanations at every step. He has such a warm approach that you genuinely feel like family, not just another patient.
Since then, I've ended up seeing him myself for a couple of personal injuries and some ongoing muscle pain. He's become my default doctor for anything orthopedic (bone, joints or muscle related), and it's easy to see why. He gets to the root of the issue quickly, explains it clearly, and the treatment he recommends is always practical, never more than what's actually needed *** ************ ****** *** *** **** ********* ** Post consultation follow-ups with him is also very easy and assuring. He has always been just a text away.
If you're dealing with any muscle or bone issues, he's genuinely worth seeing.
A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Kulshrestha for taking such good care of my fractured left wrist - and for giving me a rather impressive titanium upgrade! *
I flew in from Singapore on the 11th of Aug, had my appointment the next morning, was operated for close to 2 hours on at Manipal Hospital, Sarjapur, on the 13th morning given it was an unstable fracture, and discharged the following day. The whole process was remarkably smooth.
What stood out was not just the surgery itself, which went extremely well, but how accessible and clear he was throughout the follow-ups. His instructions on medication and physiotherapy were precise, practical and reassuring - nothing excessive, just exactly what was needed. And his bedside manner was wonderfully no-nonsense! *
Thank you, Dr. Kulshrestha, for putting my wrist back together so beautifully.
I am extremely grateful to Dr. Vikas Kulshrestha for successfully operating on both of my mother’s knees. From the very first consultation, he was extremely professional, reassuring, patient, and caring.
The way he explained everything clearly and guided us throughout the treatment gave our family complete confidence. Most importantly, the results of my mother’s knee surgeries have been excellent, and seeing her walk and become more comfortable again means so much to us.
In my personal experience, Dr. Vikas Kulshrestha is an exceptional orthopaedic surgeon and a doctor you can trust completely. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced and compassionate knee specialist.
Thank you, Doctor, for giving my mother a better and more active life. We will always be grateful to you. *
