I understand the visit to doctor, specially orthopaedic, involves lot of wait time and X -Ray is mandatory. In this case, Hospital can plan and reduce wait time. if the doctor had 10surgeries that day then why have so many appointments!After long wait and paying about 3k, doctor said that knee surgery is needed with no further explanation. I had to ask 10 questions to get more info. The Dr may be very good *** * ***** **** ****** ******* **** ****** ***** **** **** * *** ******** ******* ******** ************* *** ******* *** ********** I will have to consult another doctor because I didn't get satisfactory explanation in this visit.

Feedback and experience as provided by my father Sri Subrahmanyam Surampudi.
"I, Subrahmanyam Surampudi, aged 70 years, native of Visakhapatnam (A.P) is a patient of type II diabetes and HTN for the last 25 years. I underwent open heart surgery over 9 years ago and also having LS problem. The problem of osteoarthritis started nearly 18 years ago which has become very severe during the last 3 years. There was pain and deformity in both knees, difficultly in walking and climbing stairs. Doctors at Visakhapatnam advised TKR.
As my children are staying in Bangalore I came here for consultation and treatment. Through internet and other sources, we came to know about the orthopedic surgeon Dr. Chandrashekar P. of SAKRA World Hospital.
We called on him for the first time on 12th April 2017. After seeing my X-rays and reports and other physical examination Dr. Chandrashekar advised for TKR. He was kind enough to spare about 45 minutes for us. He explained in detail step by step surgical procedures, pain management, post-operative care, physiotherapy, cost of package etc. He cleared all my doubts with regards to my existing diseases. He created hundred percent confidence in me for undergoing surgery without any fear. On my request, he also agreed to perform surgery as per our choice of auspicious date and time.
He informed us that the surgery will be done first for one leg and after 5 days basing on the advice of cardiologist surgery will be done for the second leg, otherwise it will be done after a gap of one or two months.
The positivity, professionalism and encouraging words of Dr. Chandrashekar inspired me very much and made me to decide then and there only to handover my case to him. I have not gone for even for a second medical opinion.
I joined SARKA hospital on 11th May 2017 and the surgery was scheduled for 12th May 2017. On the morning of 12th May, the cardiologist checked up me and 2D echogram was done. Before the surgery Dr. Chandrashekar informed me that according to cardiologist my heart is in very good working condition and as such the surgery can be done for both the knees (bilateral) at a time. He explained about the advantages of a bilateral surgery. He also spoke to my family members and asked for consent. ** * **** ****** **** ************* **** ** *** **** ***** *** * ******** we agreed for bilateral surgery. Accordingly, bilateral surgery was done and I was discharged on 21st May 2017.
During my stay in hospital the personal care and affection shown by Dr. Chandrashekar is highly commendable. He is so simple and humble and while talking with my family members we felt that as if he is our own family member. The doctor patient relationship is wonderful. At the time of discharge the doctor told my son to give SMS for any problem without any hesitation and will reply soon. Accordingly, he gave immediate responses to our 2/3 SMS’s which boosted up our confidence levels. On our request, he suggested a physiotherapist who has done a wonderful job and made me fit well in advance to the scheduled target.
I express my gratitude to Dr. Chandrashekar and his team of doctors, physiotherapists, nursing staff and others.
I am a chronic patient having a couple of good doctor friends who are my spiritual colleagues. I have acquaintance with many doctors of various hospitals but I have never come across such a humble and patient caring doctor like Chandrashekar, maybe it is his nature by grace of God.
The surgery was successful, by the end of 4th week I was able to walk without assistance and also climbing stairs for which I shall be ever grateful to Dr. Chandrashekar.
I feel that the existence of eminent doctors like Chandrashekar in SAKRA, the image of SAKRA hospital will increase to a great extent.
I humbly pray my sadguru, Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi to bestow his gracious blessings on Dr. Chandrashekar and his family for a long life, health, wealth and prosperity.

I Prema M Nair have been suffering from acute pain in my right leg for many years, progressively worsening the situation until I was incapacitated to walk straight without assistance. I have been under ayurvedic treatment for last 1 year in various ayurvedic hospitals. We (the family members) met Dr Chandrashekar in December 2019 and the doctor had recommended for surgery, but we were not ready at that time. Subsequently, we had enquired about the surgery with other patients who had undergone surgery and also on the internet and decided to have the surgery. Unfortunately, due to COVID19 pandemic, we postponed our decision. As the situation worsened further we met Dr Chandrashekar at his clinic on the first week of October for consultation. After examining my condition, he suggested going for immediate surgery. Accordingly, I got admitted at Sakra World Hospital on the 9th of October after a COVID test. MRI and X-Ray investigation revealed more problems with my right hip and doctor suggested to go ahead with hip replacement surgery rather than knee replacement surgery. We were convinced by doctors explanation and gave consent for hip replacement surgery. On 10th October 2020, the surgery was successfully done. After the surgery, I was kept in post-operative ward for a while and thereafter shifted to ICU where I was well attended by doctors and the support staff. On 11th I was shifted to the room for follow up and treatment. After the surgery, I stayed in the hospital for 7 days, where I received good care and attention.
We are extremely happy with the service provided at the hospital and particularly Dr Chandrshekhar and his team of doctors, physiotherapists, nursing staff etc.
On the 27th we came for the removal of the stitch. By the time the wound was completely healed and I was able to walk with a walker. We met the doctor again after 30 days on the 10th of November. I was able to walk without any walking aids and the doctor and we were extremely happy with the results.
Dr Chandrashekar possesses a charismatic character *** ** ** ********* ******* *** did my surgery professionally giving sincere care daily while I was in the hospital.
We thank Dr Chandrashekar and his team for the successful surgery and recovery.
With best regards,
Prema M Nair and family.

Alright, first I will give my thanks to practo for introuding me to this awesome doctor ever I met in my life. I am working @ Malaysia and tore my acl while playing badminton. It was a pretty hard fall. At first doctor here didnt ask me to do mri and told its just a sprain. After 2 months when I saw my condition is detoring, I went to one more doctor here and he asked for an mri. To my bad bad luck it was a complete acl tear. .. As I am here all alone,i thought I will go back to bangalore to do my operation. **** ***** * ******* ** ****** *** *** **** ******* *** *** *************** *** ** ** ****, I got Mr Chandrasekhar through Practo. Dialed him and sent my mri,he gave assurance that all will be good and nothing to worry. It was just like I was talking to somebody I knew from.very long,he was sooooo friendly. So I immediately decided,that he will be the only one,whom I will allow to operate me. I reached Bangalore after a month and went ahead to first meet him.face to face. The day I met, my belief turn into a strong reality that I took my best decision ever. Got addmited @ Sakra world hospital bangalore and thr very next day was operated. The operation went excellent and Mr Chandrasekhar was actually talking with me during my the procedure . I was in local anesthesia. After 2 days I started walking and after 2 months which is now,I have full stretch and no problem what so ever. MY recovery is excellent and I thank Mr Chandrasekhar for that. ** ** **** ** **** ***** ** ** ****** Thank you thank you thank you Sir. *** *** *** **** ****** * **** **** **** ** ** **** *
As per recommendation, if you ask me...dont go for a second opion. ** ** *** **** *******
God bless you sir
I had an opportunity to have been treated by Dr. Chandrashekhar twice, once in 2015 and second time it was in 2018 on both occasions I was completely comfortable with my interaction with Dr. Chandrashekhar who make feel more as a family rather than treat me as a patient, that gave me a lot of confidence to go ahead and have go to surgeries done,one was my shoulder which was done through keyhole surgery and 2nd one was totally left knee replacement post-operative care and response to all the questions and doubts that I have was very excellent and I couldn't have asked for better orthopedic surgeon for my condition. I am a rheumatoid arthritis patient, the doctor took care of me very well. The doctor examined me and referred me to rheumatologist in Sakra Hospital with whom I consulted and after seeing all the reports including the MRI on both occasions because of extreme discomforts that I was having prior to the surgery, he took his decision which was very consultative course actually he allowed me to alive at the conclusion rather than the doctor himself imposing decisions with me, the precious when I went to him to show for my shoulder it was a second consultation because the previous surgeon has told for replacement whereas Dr. Chandrashekhar examined me and said to avoid shoulder replacement he said I can give a try and he managed to do that and avoided shoulder replacement that gave me confidence doctor done through diagnosis and does not resort to replacement which very patient is worried about he just does that what good for the patients.

Two years ago pain in my right knee had flared up to the point of unbearable agony. We did a quick research and discovered Dr. Chandrashekar at Sakra Hospital. Since my case was severe, I was quite apprehensive about an impeding surgery. However, after meeting Dr. Chandrashekar all anxieties were dispelled. He observed my case thoroughly and suggested imagining scans before recommending a knee replacement as the last resort.
*** ******* ** ***** ** *** *** **** ************* competent, and kind surgeon. Right up to the day of the surgery he assured and reassured me of a successful recovery. A year later, I am fit as a fiddle and helping my husband through his knee replacement.
My husband’s case was a rather complicated one since he is a diabetes, heart and cancer patient. Therefore, we had made sure that none other than Dr. Chandrashekar should handle his case, and the doctor did so with utmost kindness and dexterity. For a few days following the surgery, my husband’s condition was quite delicate due to a series of complications. Dr. Chandrashekar kept a hawk’s eye on his condition and made sure that he was discharged only after stabilising safely.
It has been 3 months since the surgery and my husband is finally gaining his healthy gait. All thanks to the gem of a person and an extraordinarily competent doctor, Dr. Chandrashekar. A special mention to the Sakra Hospital's ICU team for offering vigilant care throughout the duration of the treatment.
