I had consult Dr Maruthesh Gowda on behalf of my father who lives in Bangalore. I stay in Dallas for work purposes.
On routine master health check up my father was found to have gallstones and was advised immediate surgery. I got reference from my another software friend who had consulted him in Bangalore before.
I was so relieved after consulting doctor. Doctor explained about gallstones, what complications it can cause and after looking at all the results he said we need surgery but not as emergency. He explained risks of infection, jaundice and pancreatitis and chances of it happening – 2%/year.
He advised us avoid fatty meals till day of surgery and I have scheduled to travel in 3 months and get surgery at that time. He has assured if any emergency happens he will take care anytime. So relieving.

Consulted Dr Maruthesh Gowda when my mother felt lump in the breast. From the first visit we were impressed with how methodically treatment was planned.
No cutting of corners. Does not scare the patient. Even though he knew breast lump was a cancer he did not tell from first visit. Asked us to triple assessment of breast lump with ultrasound, mammogram and biopsy. Special tests were done to find more about cancer.
Luckily my mother did not need mastectomy. Only breast lump was removed with samples from axilla which were negative for cancer.
Even at the age of 80 we stayed only for 1 day. Pain was minimal. Cancer was hormone sensitive so did not need chemotherapy.
****** *** ***** **** ********* *** ********* ** ******* Cancer surgery was also done without any complications. Highly recomonded.

I had my Laparoscopic Bilateral inguinal hernia surgery by Dr Maruthesh Gowda when I travelled to Bangalore recently. I was on NHS waiting list eternally.
Quality of care and surgery and communication was better organised than NHS. Doctor helped me to get laparoscopic hernia surgery done at Indian cost as international patients are charged more than double.
Morning admission, hernia surgery after 2 hours and home by evening without being on waiting list seems like dream. Flight back after 5 days. Just wonderful.

I am extremely happy with the experience consulting Dr Maruthesh. He takes the time to explain the issues and the treatment options. He saw through the surgery and recommended the **** recovery path. He is very patient answering any and all concerns and ensures the patient feels comfortable.
My experience with Dr. Maruthesh Gowda was good. He explained everything clearly. However, the waiting time was too long, about an hour, even though we arrived early. It would be better if delays are communicated in advance so patients can plan accordingly. Overall, I would recommend him.

My cousin developed severe pain suddenly and was panicking. My friend who was in similar condition to mine got great help from Dr Maruthesh Gowda for emergency gallstone surgery (I believe Laparoscopic cholecystectomy) for his wife in Bangalore.
So I contacted him and I can’t thank him enough. My cousin had swelling in her abdomen which was umbilical hernia. Part of small intestine was struck in hernia and she was vomiting all the food she had taken since morning.
Doctor helped her to get admitted as emergency and did emergency umbilical hernia surgery. Since he was able to do it with in 3 hours he was able to save the intestine which was struck without needing it to be removed. He saved my cousin’s life with timely emergency umbilical hernia surgery.
She was back home after 2 days, independent walking and doing her daily activities. I could avoid emergency travel and problems that come with it in current condition.
Hoped for better: Treatment satisfaction
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.

I had laser Piles and fissure surgery by Dr Maruthesh Gowda one year and had recovered fully with in 1 week. He had advised weight loss during surgery itself and left it me to decide.
When I finally decided to do something about my weight I could not think of any better doctor.
When I went to consult him for weight loss treatment he remembered me from more than year back.
I was not surprised by clarity of thought and treatment and expected nothing less from Dr Maruthesh Gowda. Again no pressure to start treatment immediately. Also no pressure to choose injections for weight loss or surgery for weight loss. Patient is the centre of his treatment whatever the condition is.
I am having mounjaro injectios for weight loss by Dr Maruthesh Gowda. Even though its minimum dose, with help of advise I am able to loose 5 to 6kg/Month. No additional cost other than injections.
I had a very nice experience with Dr. Maruthesh Gowda. He *** *** ******* *** *********** ***** *** was clear in his explanations. The hospital was neat and clean, and although I had to wait about 45 minutes past my appointment time, it was not a problem. I would rate him 5 out of 5 and consider him an excellent doctor.
