Dr Dilip is a brilliant doctor and a very good human being. I have had a Right Radical nephrectomy in January 2014 and have been visiting Dr Dilip and Dr Manish regularly for follow up. They are always willing to listen to you with a smile and always ready to help / advise. I am very very happy with the way I have received treatment, as I undergo a cystoscopy and tests every 3 months in the first year. Every 6 months in year 2 and 3 and thereafter I have been doing it yearly. I am Very satisfied and living a normal healthy life thanks to Dr Manish, Dr Dilip and foremost Dr Venkatesh Murthy, and not forgetting the friendly staff they have there. Have been recommending and will continue recommending NU Hospital to my friends and contacts who need medical help.

My father has been taking BP medicines for more then 15 years. Also for the past couple of years, father's serum creatinine was stuck at 2.1. And recently his right ankle also started swelling and it used to pain him a lot while walking. He used to visit a doctor nearby and was not willing to go to any other doctor. This time when I went to visit them in Bangalore (I don't stay in Bangalore), I took him to NU south. Met Dr. Dilip. Before meeting Dr. Dilip we had to meet another assistant doctor who gathered the whole history of my father like any surgery, medicines etc. Then we met Dr. Dilip. He is very friendly. He suggested normal urine and blood test and ultrasound of the kidneys. Once we got the result, he altered medicines which my father was taking. Diet was also changed as suggested by their dietician. And, phew, after a week, the serum creatinine comes down to 1.67 and also blood urea which was 76.5 came down to 43.4 within limit. Swelling is almost gone. Is able to walk without any pain. It's a big relief. Now we need to continue the medicines which Dr. Dilip prescribed and monitor.

First of all in the Hospital they took lot of care in creating the complete History of my past treatments and presenting to the Doctor before he can see me. That was really impressive and cut down lot of time to wait for the Doctor. Also the Doctor had first hand information about me to start the treatment process instead of wasting the time on diagnosis. He was very polite and spent time in in analysis before prescribing the drugs. Overall experience was excellent.

I was beyond impressed with my experience at this doctor’s office. My first contact was with Dr. Dilip Rangarajan and I was completely blown away by how helpful and kind he was and how fast he was at getting back to me! A lot of doctors don’t realize how important it is to have administration like Dr. Dilip Rangarajan. The first point of contact is crucial!

I am the patient of Dr Dilip Rangarajan since about 2011 and I go to him for check up regularly every 3/4 months.I find him very systematic in maintaining my past records and prepares fresh prescription only after reviewing them.He is always patient in listening to my complaints and clarifies all problems raised. He follows the appointment time given strictly. I feel always comfortable when I consult him.
