Dr. Kumardev Arvind Rajamanya

Dr. Kumardev Arvind Rajamanya was good and explained everything well. The clinic experience was also good, and I was given a chance promptly upon arrival. Overall, I would rate the experience as five out of five and would recommend the doctor to others.

Appreciation note for Dr. Kumardev Arvind Rajamanya and the Orthopedic Team

There are surgeons who fix bones, and then there are surgeons who understand that what they are really fixing is a person's ability to live stronger Dr. Kumar is the latter.

When my mother was first referred to him in April 2026 with severe osteoporosis and debilitating pain, he assessed her thoroughly, gave clear recommendations, and set in motion the physiotherapy and bone protection plan that took her from bedbound to climbing 20 stairs within six weeks.

When she fell and fractured her hip in May, Dr. Kumar was the first person we called - and within hours, he had reviewed the X-ray and had a clear surgical plan in place.

The surgery itself was complex. Her bone was quite fragile that Dr. Kumar had to proceed with extreme caution, extending the procedure significantly to avoid any inadvertent damage. There were no micro-fractures, no bone cracks, and the prosthesis position was confirmed satisfactory.

But what we will remember most is not the surgery. It is that he called us before the procedure to let us speak to our mother and called again after to let us hear her voice. That gesture - a surgeon in the middle of a complex surgical day taking a moment to connect a family with their mother - is the mark of a doctor who understands that healing is not only about the bone. It is about the whole family.

We are deeply grateful to Dr. Rajamanya and his entire orthopedic team for their expertise, their thoroughness, and their humanity.

My Dad Mr. Y.S Bhat (aged 80 years) was suffering from knee pain from the last 7-8 years. Although it started with minimal pain in the initial years, it aggravated to unbearable pain in the last couple of years affecting his mobility in the recent months. Starting from Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Allopathy, etc. he tried almost all the therapies available to get relief from the pain – nothing really worked! Surgery was the last option on his mind - due to the apprehension of surgery, hospitalization, post-surgery recovery/dependency, success rate, fright, age, etc.

When it almost reached an ultimatum, surgery was the only choice. Search began for the **** doctor and hospital with proved track record; finally was referred to Dr. Kumardev Arvind Rajamanya by our cousin Dr. Manjunath Bhat. While the reviews on the net were very encouraging, our first consultation with the Doctor further boosted our optimism, assurance, and trust to proceed with the surgery. His patient hearing (answering to every small question/clarifying doubts), thorough examination, transparent/genuine diagnosis, understandably explaining the medical condition/problem, and the treatment options available to rectify the issue was extremely convincing and there was no looking back. Just with a single meeting, we were won over – and were visualizing the positive side of my Dad getting to normal (all constraints seemed to be of less importance). After all the preliminary tests and procedures, my Dad underwent the left Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery in March 2020 at the Manipal Hospital, Whitefield under the able hands of the Doctor.

Dr. Kumardev kept checking on us at every step pre and post-surgery. His personal attention to every patient, even with his busy schedule from the initial stage is highly commendable/exceptional as it builds a very good rapport and helps the patient to foster trust – which is very important for the success of any procedure and recovery. He explained in detail the surgery procedure and all the care we should take almost every single day.

During our stay in the hospital, the Doctor guided the Hospital staff at every step, took personal care, and monitored all the parameters regularly. My Dad was made to walk with an aide on the second day of the surgery and was discharged from the hospital on the fourth day. Dr. Kumardev’s disciplined approach, extreme expertise in his area, and continuous monitoring/care helped in the speedy recovery of my Dad’s condition. Doctor gave us an elaborate list of Do’s and Don’ts post-surgery and during discharge which helped my father and us to take care of him. It is extremely fulfilling to see my Dad recover so quickly and back to his normal activity almost within about 1.5-2 months of the surgery. With the Corona pandemic, all the post-surgery consultations were handled remotely with minimum visits to the hospital which was extremely convenient, safe, and exhibited the true concern of the Doctor towards the patient.

A big THANKS to the Doctor and all credit goes to him. His friendly, caring, considerate, compassionate, approachable, responsive, down to earth nature, and connect with the patients is something very unique! Overall our experience with Dr. Kumardev and the Manipal Hospital team was extremely good. We would highly recommend Dr. Kumardev amongst all our family and friends.

Hi all, today I will be sharing the knee replacement journey for my mother Mita Kanjilal (aged 67 years).

From past 5 - 6 years she was having difficulty in walking due to much work.

It aggravated to unbearable pain in the last couple of years affecting his mobility in the recent months.

Just before the surgery the pain was so severe that she was unable to stand straight and once she sits somewhere it was very difficult for her to get up by herself.

When it almost reached an ultimatum, surgery was the only choice.

Search began for the best orthopedics doctor and hospital with proved track record.

Initially we visited Narayana hospital and consulted with an orthopedic, no doubt he was good.

Although before proceeding with the surgery we just wanted to have a second opinion and that time we have consulted Dr Kumardev Arvind Rajamanya.

Immediately after the first consultation me and my family felt that this is the doctor we should go for.

The way he explained the current situation post X-RAY was noteworthy and also the behavior and calmness.

Finally, after the 2nd consultation we have decided to go for the surgery based on our preferred date.

His patient hearing (answering to every small question clarifying doubt), thorough examination, transparent genuine diagnosis, understandably explaining the medical condition/problem, and the treatment options available to rectify the issue was extremely convincing and there was no looking back.

Dr. Kumardev kept checking on us at every step pre and post-surgery. His personal attention to every patient even with his busy schedule from the initial stage is highly commendable

He explained in detail the surgery procedure and all the care we should take almost every single day, he even let us meet with his existing patients in order to gain more confidence before we actually go for the surgery.

During our stay in the hospital, the Doctor guided the Hospital staff at every step, took personal care, and monitored all the parameters regularly.

My Mother was made to walk with an aide on the second day of the surgery and was discharged from the hospital on the eight days since we had to go through total knee replacement for both the knees.

Dr. Kumardev disciplined approach, extreme expertise in his area, and continuous monitoring care helped in the speedy recovery of my mother.

Doctor gave us an elaborate list of Dos and Don'ts post-surgery and during discharge which helped my mother and us to take care of him.

It is extremely fulfilling to see my mother recover so quickly and back to his normal activity almost 2 - 3 months post-surgery.

We would highly recommend Dr. Kumardev amongst all our family and friends.

My wife Vijaya Lakshmi aged 57 years had been suffering with Osteoarthritis for 11years

since 2010. When she turned 54 her knee joints resulted in abnormal swelling and

paining. She Used to apply different Ayurvedic oils and Ayurvedic treatment. Took continuous

painkillers for daily relief. Her Orthopedician gave 3 maximum steroid Injections on both the

knees. All this resulted in temporary relief only but not permanent cure. 24×7 pain was felt in

both knees. Unable to climb steps. She stopped walking despite doctor's advice resulting into

weight gain. She stopped doing her yoga exercises as stretching legs was no more possible.

1. First we had consulted Orthopedicians in Mumbai (as we were there) who advised knee

transplantation. Thereafter we shifted to Bengaluru and since 2016 onwards we started

consulting different doctors for their 2nd opinions. All most all the doctors from the very

beginning told that she required immediate Total knee implants of both the right and left legs as

the cartridge of both the legs was worn out.

2. My son searched the Internet and concluded with information gathered based on ratings of Dr. Kumardev Arvind Rajamanya, Orthopedician, Manipal hospital, Whitefield, Bengaluru. Immediately we took appointment and consulted the

Doctor. The doctor advised immediate both the knee transplantation as it was overdue from

2016. He also told any further delay in surgery would result into bending of legs, the deformity of

which cannot be repaired thereafter. The Doctor also very positively advised that my wife can

easily go to the US after 3 months of surgery with good home Physiotherapy.

3. Thereafter my wife underwent detailed blood tests required by the Doctor. Dr. Kumardev attended immediately and planned surgery first for Right knee

on 05/07/2021 morning. She has been fasting since the evening of 04/07/21. On 05/07/21 morning at

08:00 am. She was taken into Operation Theater. We were told that my wife was given total General anesthesia and the surgery would take 2-3 hours. Right knee surgery was

successfully finished by 12:00 pm. and the Doctor told that he would take up surgery of her left

knee on 08/07/2021 based on her tolerance of pain. Thereafter in the evening, Physiotherapy

started for her and she was asked to walk with crutches. She was complaining some pain under

anesthesia effect. But later in the evening and next day it was more. But by 07/07/2021 night

The pain got reduced and got ready for left knee surgery on 08/07/21. Accordingly, she was

operated her Right knee on 08/07/21. Thereafter she was in the hospital for 5 days. She did

physiotherapy in the morning and night. She was discharged after that with instructions to

undergo home physiotherapy for 3 months. We utilized the services of Mr. Jyothi Kiran,

Physiotherapist, Manipal hospital, Whitefield who was daily morning and evening used to visit

our house and made my wife alright. He is a thorough professional in physiotherapy.

4. Our interactions with Dr. Kumardev during this period was outstanding. His timely, deeply and

advice helped my wife to gain total confidence. She started walking at home

with the support of a physiotherapist for 2 months. But started walking independently without

crutches and others support. She was fully alright by 30/09/2021

and we were happily ready to go to the USA from 08/10/2021.

5. During 6 months of her USA stay, she visited various tourist places there and walked freely

forgetting her pain that was there prior to surgery.

6. During my wife's hospital stay we found that the staff attended her were highly educative and

helpful.
