I'm 40 yrs male. One summer evening at work, I experienced severe pain in stomach. Same evening did US and Gall stones (max 12MM) were diagnosed. Met Dr. MGB @ Manipal. He saw my US report and asked me to do LFT and also gave me some pain killers. Later met him again @ Spectra (Koramangla) and he saw my LFT report where the SGPT and SGOT were very abnormal. So he asked me tod rink lot of juice and bring it to normal value and then only he would operate. Post two weeks the LFT improved but not to expected level and one morning I had severe pain and we contacted him and he asked us to get admitted for surgery. Evening my surgery was done (He and his colleague Dr. Babu). I recovered well and all is good. Yes, I agree he speaks less and yes he is high headed but generally at that age with thousands of surgery done, this seems to be natural. His hand is excellent and the chances of post surgery complexity is less than 1% and thats the best aspect one should look at. I have read few negative reviews that he is XYZ and all that : I cannot comment on that *** ** ** **** ** ******* ******** Yes, his charges are high but worthy things cost more. I personally Thank Dr. M G Bhat...!

I had been operated by Dr Bhat last year for Gall bladder surgery. I must say , he is very immaculate and highly experienced doc. You will not even feel the intensity of your health problem as he simplifies it to lowest level and gives perfect solution. I had 22 stones in GB he straight away decided to operate for it did not make me roam around. As I was under intense pain, his quick decision over my problem helped me get back to my previous life quite soon.
Definitely recommending him for painless surgical procedures.
Thanks Doc !

I had been to him for stomach ache problem *** ** ******* ********* ** ** ********* I happened to know about him through practo and other online feedback. while i met him first time at apollo. he pressed near my hip and asked me about pain. i replied i dont find any pain. then he asked me to take tablets and said me that apendix sometimes do heal and we should wait.. after 1 week my pain increased. this time i went to manipal to meet him as he renders his service there too. he asked me for ultrasound and even that there was no appendicitis. he said me it might be just start so ultrasound is not able to catch it and it would be better to operate. I agreed but on the same day in the night the pain increased and i called him. he was in middle of some party and he brushed me away and told me to meet him next day at apollo. on next day he said that i should go for operation and asked me to goto above floor and meet the insurance person, while i met him the insurance person was surprised to see that the doctor didnt write in the prescription letter that he is recommending me appendicitis operation and i too felt something wrong. at last minute due to god grace i thought of taking second thought and reached another doctor. i forgot his name and he said that i should go for ct scan with contrast. i did the same and in that it was clear i didnt have any appendicitis issue. While i narrated the entire story the new doctor expression made me very sure * *** ***** ** *** **** * ***** ********** My second thought worked. * ********** **** ** ************ ** ********** **** *** ****** ****** ********* ** **** **** ********* Later on i went to my home town and i was treated well and its been 2 year i am well now

I went to show the Dr after USG report detected multiple Gallblader polyps of size 5 mm. As I was not from Medical background I didn't have any idea what polyp is and whats the side affect of this.
I thought Dr, will explain as he is having 41 years of experience.
When he entered the room the way he behaved as he is King of General Surgery. He was very arrogant and he just looked at my report and asked me to get admit and said he will remove the gallblader. When I asked what polyp is etc.. he said its nothing and you should do surgery without giving proper answer then he started speaking over phone to somebode he directed me to leave the room ... The hospital charged 1000 for the consultation ...
Such a bad experience I can't explain in writing .. I felt very bad, the Dr may have 41 years of experience but he should not feel himself like king and should be polite while talking with the patient, he should listen the problem and explain the solution properly ...

I suffered from ventral and umblical hernia during pregnancy, in which abdominal muscles separate. For which he carried out surgery and has put a mesh in my abdomen. He clearly explained the ailment and patiently answered all questions. He is very friendly and fatherly person. Did not force me into any treatment. I could walk from first day of surgery. I was on antibiotics and painkillers only for 5 days after surgery. No other medication. Abdominal belt was used from day one to support the operated muscles. From 10th day onwards could even sit on floor and get up without any help. He has made just a four inches cut and put mesh in full abdomen. His skill is of making smallest incision. ** **** ******** ***** *** **** ****** ** ******** *** ******** Post operative guidance has been super and idea of using belt helps in having easier movement with minimal pain.

We had gone with mindset of getting a laparoscopic surgery for our mother in law. But the doctor suggested upon an incision surgery, which was the right decision. Because during the surgery we got to know that the cut was deep. That’s why experience matters. Thank you doctor.

Not too good but ok, good receiving and talking with patients. Doctor notes after the patient checkup was more defensive and we got a doubt that investigation was not done completely.
