I had been to meet Dr Arul for a second opinion for my mom who was recommended for a by-pass surgery after angiogram done at Manipal Hospital. I am really happy to have made the decison to reach out to Dr Arul as from the moment I contacted him, he ensured the process of coordination was very smooth at Aster CMI. He personally takes care of each of his patients and ensures they are comforted with each and every detail regarding the surgery and procedure involved. Moreover, the cost at Aster CMI was very reasonable (almost 25%) less than Manipal hospital for the surgery which involved 7 days stay. Additionally, each and every employee at Aster CMI is very friendly and always help you with a smile. Never ever we felt lost during those 7 days in the hospital.
I sincerely thank Dr Arul for his continuous support and taking care of my mom's surgery with close consultation with lead surgeon Dr Ganesh Iyer.

Visited for mother's open heart surgery
Few months back my mother was diagnosed with severely calcified heart valve and doctors advised for valve replacement surgery. Dr. Arul and team did open heart surgery and surgery was successful now she is able to do the daily activities without any discomfort. We are very much satisfied with the explanation and treatment given by the doctor during and after surgery. He is very friendly and listen to the patients. I can definitely recommend the doctor to my family and friends.

Even though he was not knowing the patient , he took time off his busy schedule and attended a video conferencing to explain the possible solution, he also helped arrange a ambulance to be picked up from airport and started treatment right away at Apollo hospitals,bannerghatta,bangalore.His open heart by pass was done by Dr.arul and team and with great success. Thanks to him that my father in law is recovering .. **** ** ***** ** ** *** *******

Dr. Furtado saved my father's life. When no other doctor in Mangalore was willing to treat him as he was over 60 and suffering from MI with VSD, Dr. Arul promptly looked over his case files and assisted with ambulance service to Bangalore Apollo as well as treated him successfully within the week. Thanks to this my father is still alive and well 9 months later. His regular follow ups and willingness to explain simply complex medical terminology has earned our trust and respect. I highly recommend him for his professionalism, integrity and humaneness.
Sincerely,
Priya

I was suffering from shortness of breath, extreme fatigue, loss of appetite & later was diagnosed to be suffering from Aortic Stenosis.
I happened to meet Dr. Arul Furtado at the Apollo Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru based on the recommendation of my close relative's neighbor. It was certainly a “Blessing in Disguise” that I met the Right Expert of Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery at the Right Time.
After having a look at my echo reports, Dr. Arul concluded that I have to undergo Aortic Valve replacement surgery as he observed my aortic valve had severe calcifications & my heart efficiency had reduced to nearly 30%.
Dr. Arul, Dr. Harsha Gautam & team performed my Aortic valve replacement surgery in October 2019. It is 3 years since & I continue to be fit & fine.
I meet Dr. Arul half yearly or yearly for my usual review & continue to have the medication prescribed by him. Believe me, now my heart efficiency based on Echo report is nearing 65%.
I apologize to have written this patient story so late, but if I am writing this after 3 years, it's certainly for the GOD sent soul (Dr. Arul Furtado).
Dr.Arul has been an ace cardiac surgeon known in Bengaluru before we landed at him for a CABG surgery for a complicated case & higher age with our own concerns. That too after another major orthopaedic surgery a week before. But the way he explained the condition with reports before and after surgery gave us lot of confidence and made us stay calm. Even post surgery reviews were comforting as he handled the smaller issues very well with right course of medication. Overall an excellent experience with Dr.Arul. Thanks Sir.
Three months ago I visited apollo hospital bangalore for my father's treatment, my father had a heart issue since few months . There I met dr. Arul , after all the test he planned to do a bypass surgery . Now it's been 4months after the surgery my father feels great & doing all his daily activities without any previous issues . Dr . Arul sir is very helpful , each & every time I ask for any thing to know regarding that operation and his health issue sir always responds instantly.. even after 4 months he regularly keep in touch with me . I really find him very kind & helpful also recommend him to my known persons for a better heart treatment . Thank you Arul sir .
My Father had mild attack and there were multiple blockage, Dr Arul had performed his open heart surgery.
It was very good experience with the doctor he diagnosed him well and explained us very well his condition.
Dr Arul is very humble and polite in treating.
We are regularly visiting him from 2years every 6 months once. Doctor

The major positive about the doctor is, he will listen to your every query and give suitable explanation/advice. He is very charismatic and always push you towards having a better health. He is very supportive throughout the process, which makes one very calm and tension free.
