Patient Stories for Dr. Kumaresh Krishnamoorthy
I had a recurring throat pain for long time. Went to Dr. Kumaresh and got the actual problem identified and sorted out in the first visit itself. Never expected such accurate treatment on first visit. Thanks doctor.

Visited For Ear Pain
We went for simple ear wax issue for my kid aged 6 years.
Kumaresh suggested additional medication for the nose, proactively. We indicated that she didn't have much of snoring issues now. Still the medication was suggested, mentioning some medical term. He forwarded documents for us to read via email.
We initially thought that it was a regular medicine. But upon discussing with my sister who is into medicine realized that its a steroid based. It cost INR225/.
Good things:
- Decent area of clinic
- Easy access to the doctor if you land early
Improvements:
- Focus more on clinical analysis.
- Let parents know that the medicine is steroid & its bad impacts.Rather than taking email address more accurately spending more time on focusing on these will reap more benefits for patients & doctor.
- Be cognisant while prescribing medicines unnecessarily!
Though it is good to find such places with high rating & review. Sad to see people prescribing these rubbish things esp. steroids! This is my second experience in Bangalore & to taper out steroids takes significant time.
Visited For Thyroid Disorders
Unprofessional doctor ,does not know how to behave with the patient .I had visited him plenty of time before my last visit ,previous experiences were good .But as the number a news paper article and the so called awards have increased ,the behavior has gone done .
Few are the highlights of discussion with him
1. In front of the patient he was saying that he won't assure 100% guarantee on the surgery though according to other doctor this was a very minor surgery.
2. Instead of making the patient comfortable ,he was trying to generate fear in the patient .
3. When asked about the cost of the surgery ,he said he does not discuss money with the patient but was very reluctant for the consultation fees as if the patient is running away.
Totally a commercialized doctor without any ethical values towards his profession .Makes me feel sad of this great nation where so many poor patient trust their doctor like God
Visited For Ear Pain
Not applicable , No doubt about the doctor he is good. But what's the use if we can't visit on time and have to wait for long.
