I have consulted Dr Balaji for my IBS and Gastric issues. He is keen to listen all our concerns and he will ask us questions to find out the actual issue. And he will explain the problem to us in very detailed and understandable manner (non medical terms which any one can understand). *** ** *** **** **** ********* *** experience on his area of work.
I was bit scared while doing the procedure of Colonoscopy , his explanation and friendly nature makes me comfortable, he takes care of patient at most care. I strongly recommend Dr Balaji for any Gastric issues without any second thought.

Had to admin my wife in an emergency situation as she can not sit or lie down due to severe pain in the back. Quick diagnosis (through scans and blood tests) by Dr. Balaji, while we were in emergency ward, showed significant accumulation of stones in gallbladder which the doc suggested had to be removed immediately. His friendliness very much helped in calming down my wife who otherwise is afraid of even an injection. I was more concerned about the mental agony my wife had to undergo, but with repeated assurances and explanations given by the doctor, she could overcome the fear and anxiety more easily than I anticipated. He was very patient in clarifying all the queries we had. It was easy to connect with him offline for minor clarifications and the follow-up sessions post the surgery were helpful in assuring my wife about her well-being. I would suggest him for any gastroenterology related issues.
I am Venkat Reddy, Veterinarian aged 52, by profession and visited Dr Balaji due to problem of bleeding in stools. Has commendable knowledge on his subject and because of age he has suggested some tests and Colonoscopy. May tests could not pin point specific problem and but with his experience and knowledge he could identify the issue and as result of his treatment and guidance I am almost fine now and expect full recovery in couple of weeks.
Dr Balaji is good human being besides Dr and not kind of extracting his patients.
I recently had an episode of acute pancreatitis and a few associated complications. My condition required hospitalization and I was under the care of Dr. Balaji.
Throughout the entire episode, right from diagnosis to recovery, Dr.Balaji was at the helm of things ensuring that he explained my condition and the course of treatment to help me recover fast. He ensured the recovery was holistic and counseled me on preacutions I needed to take to minimize recurrences.
In my experience, Dr.Balaji has not only been effective in helping me recover from my condition but his advices have also been practical and result oriented.

After reading numerous positive reviews about this doctor, we decided to visit him for my father's complicated issues related to piles. Despite having an appointment, we had to wait for 40 minutes because the doctor was on his rounds. When he finally arrived, he seemed disinterested in listening to my father's medical concerns and recommended continuing the current treatment. After explaining the issue in detail, he suggested a colonoscopy, a painful test that had been done a few months prior. Upon expressing our discomfort, he then suggested a sigmoidoscopy, mentioning it could be optional. ** *** *** ********** *** ******* ** ** ******* ******* ******* ***** ******* *** **** ***** ** ******** **** ****** *** ********** ******** **** * ****** ****** **** ****
We met Dr. Balaji in Manipal hospital during my mother in law surgery. It was a very critical case and we had very little hope of her getting any better. He handled the case very meticulously and it gave us so much confidence and hope. He is very approachable and friendly.After that we have been in contact with him through video conferencing. He listens to us very patiently and answers each and every doubt. The way he approaches any problem shows that he is very ************* *** * confident doctor. We highly recommend him.
Recently i visited Dr Balaji for for pain abdomen, with very few blood tests and with highly clinical skills and ultrasound diagnosed my gall bladder stones along with Stone in duct. Underwent ERCP procedure to remove stones from duct and surgery to remove my gallbladder by surgeon. Doctor explained in detail everthing, he is extremely humble, emphetic , understands the the overall patients in very detail and also speaks many languages. Overall my experience was very pleasent and surprisingly it's very rare to find such a doctor. I highly recommend the doctor 1000 percent rating for doctor. Jai Hind
My wife suffered from Acute Pancreatitis. She was admitted in Manipal Hospital, Whitefield, under Doctor Balaji Laxminarayan Shetty B. The doctor very well explained the situation to me regarding the disease and the treatment. During the whole course of treatment he was very professional and he superbly took care of my wife with his extremely high expertise in the field of Gastroenterology. The cause of pancreatitis was not clear initially, as there were no such findings in MRCP, CT SCAN, USG related to Gall stones. But with his experience he advised us for Cholesystectomy surgery. In the biopsy report of Gall Bladder, Chronic Cholecystitis was shown. Under his supervision, my wife recovered from pancreatitis. Me and my wife would like to give a five star rating to him and would like to recommend him to others also who has similar issue or issues related to Gastro. ** ***** * ***** **** ** *** **** ** **** **** * *** ** *** ***** Thanks a ton Doctor.
