I had been experiencing chronic back pain and nerve pain in my left leg for the last 5 years. I had tried physio, acupressure, acupuncture, chiropractic work, steroid injections, dry needling, cupping etc. Nothing helped me relieve my back pain. I visited several doctors in several cities, and I couldn’t find an answer or solution to my issue. Thankfully, I got to know about Dr. Rajkumar through an acquaintance. ** ** *** **** ** ***** **** ** ************ From the first visit, he instilled so much confidence and positivity in me. He had a look at my MRI reports and suggested a lumbar spinal fusion. I had so much faith in him from the first day itself. He is so patient, considerate, empathetic towards the patient, that half your pain will disappear post an OPD consult itself. Today, I’m 5 weeks post op with ZERO back pain. The nerve pain is still there (slight) as the nerve that was compressed is still healing. I can’t rave enough about Dr. Rajkumar. He is THE BEST. Additionally, I’d like to thank his team – Dr. Murali & Dr. Karuna who were fabulous as well.

This was 12 years back. I brought my mom all the way from Cochin to Fortis Bangalore. She came limping even without being able to walk. 15 days later she went back walking! He is the best i have ever come across. When you speak to him you feel that positive vibe from him following into us! Let there be more doctors like him.
Hoped for better: Wait time
pathetic experiance. no time management. people are given time of 12 and after reaching we are getting info that doctor is not available till and keep on waiting till 4 leaving everything . and the doctor does not have even a minor respect of the patient. if you are late for 5 min he won't treat even though he is there and if he is late he does not have even a little bit of concern that I have do away entire day. if you have lot of time to do away then y can think of meeting him.
