Kritagyata (Gratitude):
We came to NU hospital for the Prostate and Hernia treatment of my father in June 2021. Right from the time we approached Dr Prasanna for an appointment we experienced an immense sense of compassion and balanced guidance.
Every element of treatment at the hospital is taken with the patient as the center of consideration -
- Administrative staff including Ms Prathibha, Ms Tanushri, Ms Chetana, and Ms Suma - they coordinate all the appointments and instructions given by the doctors during consultation. They remind you about your next appointment! Even the staff at registration including Ms Selvi who explained the financials for the hospitalization are very helpful, well spoken and hardworking.
- Nursing staff (Sincy, Riju, and Anappa in the ICU, we were on 3rd floor room post ICU- Nurses Barkha, Sherry, Support staff Prasad Rao helped bathe my father on the 2nd day after the surgery - Dad said he felt like he was in his childhood being bathed by his mother
- Finally, the Doctors’ team is par excellence starting from Dr Prasanna, Dr Pramod, Dr Sridhar Pandit, and the doctors team supporting the operation and post op care including Dr Kamal Sachdev, Dr Riju, and Dr Nishant in the ICU
Overall, it is indeed our great fortune to know Dr Swathi through whom we came to NU hospital for my father’s Urology treatment - May Lord bless the entire NU hospitals family as they give good care to thousands of patients every year! Thank you and God bless!
Dr. Prasanna Venkatesh, strongly recommended and insist for the treatment after identifying stricture in one of the tests called RGU. I was suffering from prolonged UTI for a month, and a dynamic obstruction in the flow. His ethical words touched my heart, he said " once you identifying the cause you should get treated for it, whether you decide here or any where else. " that was his Frank opinion,... Then I decided to under go these procedure and experienced the ********* treatment from him, he is very positive, confident on his decision and work.
Over all my experience is good with full team of the nu hospital.... Now in 5 days I recovered and my fallow up test like uroflowmetry shown **** result then pre procedure. I'm thank full to Dr.prasanna& team
Visited For Urinary Tract ObstructionGenital Injury
Many thanks to NU hospital Rajajinagar and specially to Dr. Anant Kamat, Dr. Prasanna Venkatesh and Dr. Krishna Prasad. My son Swastik was complaining left stomach pain from last 1 year. But the pain was not continues. When I did an ultrasound sound of his lower abdomen. We got to know that his left kidney was showlen and quite larger than the right one. I visited one doctor from a reputed hospital in Bangalore and he spent only two minutes and after some test he asked me to come to hospital when he will have the pain again. It was not at all satisfactory to me. Then I went to Anant sir at NU hospital. He spent around half an hour with me and explained the problem really clear and crystal. He referred me to Prasanna sir for further consultation. After consulting with Prasanna sir my son went for a laproscopic pyloplasty surgery and the way the doctors and staffs treated my him was quite nice and they made everything so easy. Thank you sir for your treatment. I really great full to you.
