I visited Dr Prabhakar B after getting recommendations from my relative for gall bladder removal surgery. It was a very nice experience. He is very swift in surgery. He talks very politely and make sure we understand the issue also. I recommend him for all.

Hoped for better:Â Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issue
Firstly I went to see a doctor in gastroenterologist regarding my haemorrhoid issue and then the doctor referred me to this surgeon for surgery opinion. And when I visit this surgeon, he pushed my piles inside and this has been 4 days since he did the procedure and my piles is still swelling and bleeding. ** **** **** ****** He also didn’t explained properly *** *** *** ***** *** **** ************ ** **** I** *** ********* ** ** **** *** ******** **** ******* ** *** *****
I was shocked and very setup to receive such treatment from a senior doctor. My brother had his fingernail stuck inside the thumb of his feet which caused swelling and accumulation of pus. So as per Dr. Prabhakar's advice, we did a small surgical procedure at Narayana Health, Whitefield to take the pus and nail out. After coming back home, my brother started having very high fever around 103 or 104 deg F. We went to the doctor again after one day but the doctor kept us waiting for almost 3 hours in that condition (my brother was shivering with very high fever). After long wait, he saw my brother and discovered that he has forgot to give tetanus injection on the day the operation was carried out. So, we gave tetanus on that day and also some paracetamol injections. Again we came back home but high fever was still persisting. When we tried to reach the doctor over phone, Narayana health didn't revealed his mpbile number neither they allowed us to contact the doctor over hospital phone. Then we went to some other clinic in our locality and there the doctor mentioned that due to infection spread in the blood (because of that surgery), my brother was having the high fever and pain. He was treated with some other antibiotics and now he is little better. Please avoid such doctor if possible who are there only for money making.

He is very experienced Surgeon. My husband was suffering with little finger infection, And he suggested for minor surgery because the infection spreading fast all over the foot.

Very professional and explained the condition very clearly with patience. Recommending the Doctor .
I had an emergency procedure in the month of June at Manipal whitefield. Dr Prabhakar was called in and explained us the situation in brief, when asked for clarification, he did not offer any. After the surgery he told us that everything has been taken care of and there is nothing to worry. Even in post operative period, he was very rough with handling the scarred area and again did not give any detailed information on procedure done, care to be taken or possible future recurrence. Recently on account of discomfort in the region, we consulted another doctor and went for a scan **** ** ******** **** *** ****** *** *** * ******* ** * ******* ****** **** ***** ****** *** **** **** ***** I would highly recommend anyone thinking of surgery with Dr. Prabhakar ** ******* * **** ***** ****** ********* ** ****
