Two months into our marriage, my spouse, who is 29 years old, complained of a headache and haziness in front of his eyes. As I was new to Bangalore, I looked up online for a good neurologist and found Dr. Krishnan's address. He suggested an MRI to eliminate all extreme possibilities. Because my spouse is claustrophobic, we requested him for an alternative, but he insisted on it. And I can't be thankful enough to him for this. Through the MRI, we found out that what we had been dismissing as a migraine, at the most, turned out to be a blood clot in the watershed region of the brain. In short, my spouse had suffered a minor brain stroke. The moment I got to know this, I called up Dr. Krishnan. We fixed an appointment with him, and he patiently explained everything to us. Further, he made sure that we went for the relevant tests to find out the cause behind it, even though he was able to guess that it was B12 deficiency. In the meanwhile, he put my spouse on medicines to gradually dissolve the clot and prevent any recurrence. The test results were able to eliminate many possible causes and indicated that the stroke was probably induced by a B12 deficiency only. He immediately prescribed him B12 injections and asked us to make some lifestyle changes.
more..We have been taking treatment from Dr Krishnan for my mother's balance related problems. My mother suddenly started losing balance while walking, feeling diziness in last January. Initial treatment from local doctor in my town didn't help. So we brought her to Bangalore and consulted Dr Krishnan at Fortis hospital. Her condition improved within couple of weeks and she was able to carry out her daily activities as usual.

The clinic is very near and easily accessible and i thought wow and there is very less wait time unlike other doctors. I used to get headache three times a month and that used to be severe after my pregnancy so i came to this doctor for checkup. He suggested some tablets and told migrane and wrote brain MRI. Told us MRI but when we went to the scan center they told spine MRI angiogram for heart. Im not sure why was that required. At least doctor should tell us why he is prescribing the tests and what is the link for the headaches. After showing the scan report didnt even explain took the picture of the scan and was sending it to the diagnostic as he suggested it to gain some money out of it. Now he told there no issue in MRI and go to eye doctor orelse you may loose your vision i asked could you please repeat he said if i repeat 100 times its the same i think thats not the way he. Talk to the patients. Explain the problems to the patients first clearly after going to ophthalmologist may be he will take a picture and gain out out it i guess. ** ** ********* **** ***** ******* ** **** *** **** ******** ***** **** **** Dont do this try to explain the problem to patients out of concern they are going through so much already adj seeking your help

Doctor - PR Krishnan - My mother was suffering from hypertension and since two days she got dizziness while sleeping, nausea, vomiting sensation, left arm was paining. We met this super busy doctor for 10 mins ***** ** ****** *** ******** ************ **** ********* ****** *** asked to do - Blood test and head scan. We came out to check for blood test, nano consultants asked to wait for 15 mins. They called the doctor to check about it as nothing was mentioned on prescription. Also, he was in hurry n left already. He denied for any tests and informed them that everything was fine. Doctors who charge RS 600 for just 10 mins without complete information should be worshipped. **** ******** * ****** If you love your life never visit Nano hospital. **** **** ******* *** ******** ** ******* ******* ******** ****** ** *** **** **** ** ***** ** **** *** ****** ** ****** * ****** ******** ** **** **** *** *** ********** ** ***** **** **** *********
