I was referred to Dr. Maruthesh Gowda for gallbladder stones after suffering from recurrent abdominal pain radiating to the back for over four years. He had actually recommended surgery a year ago, but I was not ready at that time. When the pain episodes became more frequent and severe this year, I came back to him.
Dr. Maruthesh Gowda ordered a fresh ultrasound which revealed chronic cholecystitis with an overdistended gallbladder, wall thinning, multiple stones, and biliary sludge. He explained the condition clearly, gave me three treatment options with honest pros and cons of each, and never pressured me toward any particular choice. That kind of patient-centered approach is rare.
The surgery — laparoscopic cholecystectomy — was performed on 12th June 2026 at Manipal Hospital Hebbal. The surgical report later confirmed dense adhesions which made the procedure more technically challenging than a standard case. Despite this, the surgery was uneventful. I was discharged the very next morning, able to eat and walk normally.
What impressed me equally was the post-operative care. Dr. Maruthesh Gowda responded promptly to WhatsApp messages throughout my recovery — answering questions about dark stool, skin rashes, and wound changes — each time with clear, calm guidance **** ********* *********** ********
The histopathology report confirmed chronic cholecystitis with no malignancy — exactly what he had diagnosed clinically. The wounds healed well and I was cleared at the 7-day follow-up with no dietary restrictions.
If you are looking for a surgeon who combines technical expertise with genuine patient communication, I would strongly recommend Dr. Maruthesh Gowda. His NHS UK training and experience with complex cases is evident — but what stands out equally is his accessibility and patience with patients throughout the recovery process.

I recently underwent anal fissure and piles surgery under the care of Dr.Maruthesh sir, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care I received. From the very first consultation, Dr.Maruthesh was professional, empathetic, and thorough in explaining the procedure, risks, and post-surgery care.
The surgery itself was successful, and the recovery process was smoother than I had expected. The doctor’s clear guidance on fiber intake, sitz baths, and lifestyle adjustments made a huge difference in my healing. I appreciate how doctor and the team remained available for follow-up questions and showed genuine concern for my progress.
Today, I’m feeling much better and back to my normal routine. I truly believe my positive outcome was due to his expertise, careful attention, and compassionate approach. I highly recommend this surgeon to anyone facing similar health challenges******* ** ** ********* ******
Thank you Maruthesh sir for giving me a new quality of life.

I consulted this doctor after my blood tests showed elevated bilirubin levels, and jaundice was suspected. Unfortunately, my overall experience was disappointing.
During the initial consultation, the doctor mainly focused on my blood report and immediately advised further investigations, including an abdominal ultrasound (USG) and several specialized blood culture tests. **** * ***** ******* *** **** he did not spend time understanding my symptoms, asking how I was feeling, or discussing my medical history before recommending additional investigations.
Initially, I was advised to get the USG done first and return with the report, after which it would be decided whether further tests were necessary. I completed the USG, and the results were completely normal. However, during the follow-up consultation, instead of discussing my symptoms or interpreting the normal USG findings in detail, I was advised to undergo four additional specialized blood culture tests.
These tests were not readily available at most diagnostic laboratories, and it took me several days to locate a lab that could perform them. Since culture tests require incubation, I had to wait another week for the results. Eventually, all of those reports also came back negative.
When I tried to meet the doctor again **** ***** ******** * *** ******** **** * ***** **** ** *** ******* ************ *** ******* **** **** * **** *** ******* I explained that the delay was entirely due to the time required for the prescribed tests and that no treatment or medication had been initiated during the previous visits. After some discussion, I was allowed to consult ******* ** ********** ****
Even after reviewing all the negative reports, the doctor did not provide a clear diagnosis or treatment plan. ******** * *** ******* ** ****** *** ***** ******** **** ****** **** ****** * *** ******* ********* *** **** **** **** *** ***** ******** At that point, I felt that there was no clear direction in my treatment, *** *** ***** ******** ** ******** **** ************** ****** **** ************* ** ******** ** ******** ** * ********** By then, my condition had improved on its own.
Based on my personal experience, I did not feel that the consultations were *************** ** empathetic. I expected the doctor to spend more time understanding my symptoms, explain the clinical reasoning behind each investigation, and provide a structured treatment plan ******* ** ********** ************ ********** ****** While others may have different experiences, I personally was not satisfied with the consultation and decided to seek care elsewhere.
The doctor explained everything clearly and was very patient and good at receiving patients. The clinic experience was smooth with no waiting time. Overall, I would rate the experience as four out of five and would recommend Dr. Maruthesh Gowda.
