My name is Navya and I am a marathon runner. On March 14th 2021, I reached home, after running 10K in the nearby ground and started plucking flowers. I fell from the wall and fractured right leg near ankle (shattered my calcaneus bone). We visited almost each and every orthopedic surgeon’s office in my home town. Each one of those doctors said, “We can’t do surgery but they can put hard cast (plaster of Paris) around the fractured leg and it will heel on itself”. They also said, “Getting back to normal walking style is difficult and you won’t be able to run again”. These words (won’t be able to run again) hurt me more than the physical pain from fracture. It was like Sun setting in the West and never rising in the East. Felt like, my life turned upside down forever.
We (me and my husband, also a marathon runner) explored all the options and called each and every doctor we knew personally. My cousin (a Gynecologist) and her husband (also a Doctor) posted about my case in almost every Doctor’s group they knew. Most of the Doctors in those groups referred Dr. Darshan Kumar as the best Orthopedic surgeon to consult.
Based on my cousin’s reference, I consulted Dr. Darshan Kumar. He assured me saying “This is a very complicated fracture, don’t worry I handled much more complicated ones and be positive”. Doctor performed the surgery in a very deliberate manner for couple of hours. As soon as operation is done, doctor told my husband, "You want her to run again, don’t worry we will make her run again".
Dr. Darshan Kumar is a terrific, ************** sensitive, confident, caring, informative provider that I have complete faith and trust in. I trusted him so much that I didn’t consult physiotherapy doctor during my recovery and simply followed his suggestions. He is great with his patients and he gives you all the time you need during an office visit and makes sure all of your concerns and questions are addressed. He truly cares about his patients. Dr. Darshan sir combines expertise and a willingness to listen and discuss. He’s very empathetic and listens to our concerns. He takes time with the patient to help them with their issues.
He has been with us at every stage of the recovery and am very thankful for his excellent diagnosis and a pitch perfect operation. Really efficient, on point, respectful and great personality. Hands-down the most effective and efficient doctor visits I’ve had.
Through his staff, we came to know Vajubhai Vala, the then Governor of Karnataka was treated by Dr. Darshan Kumar when the Governor fractured his finger in Raj Bhavan Garden. Some foreigners visit him regularly. Some athletes (His name is Subhash) were able to compete at national level after successful surgeries by Dr. Darshan Kumar.
On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being most severe damage) my fracture is rated 10 by all doctors. Where ever I am in the future, I will be very grateful to the doctor, because of him, I am able to walk normally and run normally. I am posting this review on the first day I am able to run again. I am indebted to Dr. Darshan for making me run again and for helping me to lead a normal life again.
Dr. Darshan Kumar is well known for his skills, compassion, empathetic, commitment and very well updated with his excellence in Orthopedics, so I recommend Dr. Darshan Kumar in a heartbeat to anyone looking for ***** Orthopedic Surgeon”.
