Dr. Balamurali Krishnan

I had my knee replacement surgery, done on August 3rd 2022 at Manipal Hospital Sarjapur Road, Bangalore. The surgery was done by Dr. Balamurali Krishnan. I am glad to say that I am immensely satisfied with the results and I would like to share my experience for the benefit of others.

When I first consulted Dr. Balamurali Krishnan in December 2021, I had two major issues. Chronic arthritic pain and my right leg was shorter than the left leg, forcing me to limp. My first impression was that I had come to the right person for treatment. Dr. Balamurali Krishnan patiently explained the issues I was having, the procedure he would be performing (if I decide to go ahead with surgery) and what outcome to expect. He was very realistic about the outcome.

After surgery, the arthritic pain is totally gone, and the shortening is very minimal, For the 1st time in many years, I am able to walk without a limp. I would like to thank Dr. Balamurali Krishnan for the excellent work that he has done. I also would like to thank his team members, Dr. Deepak, Dr. Rohit, Dr. Idris, Dr Razi and the hospital support staff. They were very friendly and very easy to approach with any queries and concerns throughout the treatment period. A good team indeed.

Finally, about the hospital, the overall service and infrastructure were top class

I would definitely recommend Dr Bala & his team

I am very pleased with the detailed diagnosis provided by Dr Balamurali. I visited him for problems related to my wrist joint. He was very methodical and took plenty of time to explain every detail related to my Injury. He used a model of a knee joint to explain my condition, showed me the specific problematic regions in the MRI and explained what they meant. He was very friendly and easy to talk to. All my questions were answered at length and with great care. I came out of his clinic with complete knowledge of my injury and the various treatment options available. I feel very confident that I have all the information i need to take the right course of action. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.

* ** *** ********** *** *** ******* ** ** ********* **** *** ********* ** * ****** *** ***** ******** ** ****** *** ******* *** ****** ** *** ******** Second he tells different opinions in different sittings. *** *** *** ***** **** * ******* Third he told us that he doesn't have time to explain what he is going to do as part of treatment and in fact used a sentence " why should I tell you my secret and you are not medical students ". Any patient has right to understand the treatment and its pros and cons. Fourth he said that patients kill his hours. Mr. Krishnan is completely unprofessional, impatient, two faced doctor. He is not trust worthy and said this line - "Pain after or before procedure is not my problem, I just do surgery ". Hope this helps people who go to him with all the hope and pay hefty amount for his consultation ***** ** ***** *** ** ******* *** ** **** ** **** ***** ** ****** ******** ***** ******** ** ***** As patients you require solution and that was not at all given by doctor.

Visited the doctor multiple times during the course of 2 months after being misguided by the positive reviews. ***** **** ***** **** *** ******** ***** *** **** ** **** ***** ******** visiting the clinic in spite of the difference in health issues.. He prescribed multiple tests and scans ***** **** ** ** *** ** *** ********* ******** **** *********** **** ***** ******** ******** ** ***** ********* * ****** ******** ** ***** *** ***** The reception lady also sends patients based on her will even after maintaining a serial number. Finally had to leave the doctor’s consultation ******* **** ****** ****** ** ** *** **** ******* ** ***** *** ********* ** **** ** **** *** ******* ********* **** ***** ** ********* **** *** ******** ****** ** ********

I suffered from femur fracture in 2017 and by God's grace, my colleagues took me to Dr. Balamurali Krishnan. Intramedullary nailing for femoral shaft fracture was done by him and the same nail was removed successfully in 2019. I am back to as normal as I was before. He is a very charismatic and expert doctor. His patience, confidence, explanation, experience, and expertise is something which will make you recover better and quicker. I am very much grateful to him and thank him for everything. Unable to visit due to the Covid-19 situation. Will definitely visit him once things are back to normal again. Thank you, doctor.

We visited Dr.Bala at Manipal Hospital,Sarjapur for my mother's knee replacement. He was very kind with patient's concern and we felt the warmth and comfort to proceed for the Surgery. The surgery was successful, its been 6 months now and my mother has recovered fully. This surgery improved her walking and quality of life to a great extent. Thanks to Dr.Bala for his support, care and treatment throughout this process. I strongly recommend Dr.Bala.

I went for my knee pain and pain just below knee which was very severe as I was not able to take stairs like a normal person would take. All kind of tests were done and still after everything nothing was diagnosed after spending lot of money in multiple tests. I was asked to continue playing during the treatment time which increased my problem.Finally, I stopped visiting there as the last opinion given to me was to be positive but no root cause was given for my pain. This was very shocking and I decided to take a second opinion anywhere but here. And finally I came to know that I am suffering from a knee injury, that is, patellar tendonitis and I was asked to take rest and complete medication was done in just 10-15% of the total amount which I spent in Columbia Asia.Note: I got my treatment done somewhere else and not in Columbia Asia.Also, I am writing this feedback very late as I visited to the doctor in early 2018 this year.

I visited him for my knee pain and was totally satisfied by his diagnosis. He patiently listened to all my problems and explained me thoroughly what all issues are there. He used a knee model to explain me all the complications and how it can be corrected. I would certainly recommend him for any knee or joint issues.

Consultation Price is now increased to 750. I had visited for the first time and Doctor treated well n overall experience is good.

wounderful,amazing,unspeakable doctor i would say.......no words to describe the way he explained me the problem. before i visted to some other doctor He didnot allow me to explain the problem.I would definitely recomand Dr Balamurali for any orthopaedic problem to my family,friends.
