Dr. Ravindra Puttaswamaiah

We r visited Dr. Ravindra sir orthopaedic My brother MR.nagendrappa got knee major surgery he is treated well he is very friendly doctor I would like to tell tq sir we r recommended to visit DR .ravindra sir no comments .

*** ******** ** *** ** *** **** ******* *** * **** ***** ****** Me and my family completely trust him and have been going to him for all our orthopaedics issues. I am really grateful for everything he has done for me.

I had a problem in spine which was misdiagnosed when I was abroad. I came back to India and consulted him, it was diagnosed within one day and within three days I was on correct treatment. Understanding the urgency of situation, Dr. Ravindra went out of his way to help me and arranged everything for me at he hospital so that my treatment does not get delayed. He has effectively treated our issues.

Also, his assistant Kavitha is really understanding and helpful. She arranges the consultations and makes sure that all the needs of the patient are met with no doubts in mind.

I took my Mom to visit doctor Ravindra. She had been suffering from pain on her left hip to toe since a long time. On the day of visit, she was in severe pain and I visited the hospital with prior appointment. My mom wasn't in a position to sit or stand due to pain. The Nurse told I have to go inside doctor's cabin after 2 patients, so we were waiting anxiously. However, the doctor has a woman asistant who comes out to call patients every time. I am sure, she follows no appointment order and calls inside people to see the doctor, whomever she likes. So we could see that people came in 5 mins ago and met the doctor, but we waited like for 1.5 hours. Meanwhile my mom was facing much more trouble due to pain, so I confronted the woman. She went to see the doctor inside, then came out and told " doctor said to go to emergency dept, if you can't wait". I was totally shocked at such unprofessional behaviour from staff of Columbia Asia. We waited for 1.5 hours and when I demanded my Mom to be checked, the lady comes and tells us to go to emergency. If that is the case, then why wa-ste our 1.5 hours and tell us that our no. is after 2 patients? Also, while sitting there and observing closely, I could see that the lady would come out and call South Indian patients irrespective of their appointment time to visit the doctor first. Afterwards, she calls other patients. **** * ******* ******Finally, when we met the doctor, he did all check up and read reports and suggested "Microdiscectomy" surgery for my Mom. As it was a shock for us, I asked him to give us 2 days time to discuss and take the call. So the doctor asked that lady to take my number and call on Saturday w.r.t the surgery decision. Ironically, she never called in-spite of noting down my number at the doctors cabin and I didn't have any other contact to speak personally to the doctor. Anyways, I was furious with the behaviour of such callous staff of Columbia Asia.

Finally, I visited another good and reputed hospital in the same vicinity. ** ***** ******* **** **** *** *** ** ****** **** ** *** ***** ********* *** ******* *** ***** **** **** ***** **** ***** ************ ***** ***** ******** *** ***** ******** ** ***** ******* I would never visit such hospital and such doctor *** ***** **** ************** ****** ** ***** ******* ***** Anyways, loss is theirs and I got my mom treated **** at another hospital.

P.S: The doctor was good but, when he asked us to go to emergency; it was a true let down. If someone is seriously ill and waited for 1.5 hours to see you, you need to understand the pain of the person and not dismiss them like some false case. Also, he might not be aware of his helping hand 'the lady' who lacks basic humanity and follows no rules.

I visited Dr. Puttuswamy on 16.3.17. Told him about the history of injury and said 'i believe its the same ligament issue'. He barely examined my foot & asked for x-ray done. Said its just a foot sprain. Rest for 2 weeks and it will be fine. Also he laughed at me when i asked for wheel chair assistance saying 'you worry a lot, just walk home and relax.

Its been a year i am not able to visit gym of walk freely. Finally went to another doctor. He touched my foot and said "ligament injury", explained about it and asked for MRI scan. Scan showed the same result. He did a leg cast next day and now I am on rest.*** ********* **** ** ** **** ** ****** ** **** ****** ** *** *********** Its been a year of constant pain and struggle. Had received the correct treatment sooner, I would have recovered till now.

My mother underwent Knee Arthroscopy and had a speedy recovery, surpassing our expectations. Dr. Ravindra, a highly skilled and provided excellent care, and ensured the patient's comfort. My mother is grateful for the exceptional treatment and care provided by Dr. Ravindra.

Kavitha (Assistant) was responsible for everything from scheduling appointments to discharge. I would like to thank Kavitha for her help.

Doctor explains the problem well. However that where all positive end. **** ***** ** ***** ** ***** ******* ****** ****** ***** **** ** ** ***** ***** ******** After taking consultation fee they charge special surgeon fee of 1200 if you do pop( extra material and nursing charge also). So basically give Rs2500 for every dressing plus any material charge. Never any other hospital I have seen that they charged surgeon fee extra of consultancy for fixing slab ( which nurses do). Please avoid this doctor, there are other good doctor in same hospital.

I had consulted the doctor after visiting other doctors. Everyone had suggested for a surgery. But Dr Ravindra adviced me on the cons of the surgery and explained that it's best to avoid the surgery unless there is a mechanical failure. Till now I am able to manage my most day to day operations successfully.

Had gone to him for a below the knee fracture and we had the best experience possible. He has a lot of patience *** ** **** ************* ** *** **** ** ********** He ensured, that he patiently answered all our questions and guided us in the correct path and procedure. ** ****** *** **** ****** in terms of orthopedic issues that i shall recommend.

Doctor was friendly but explanations were not clear or satisfactory. No preventive measures told in terms of calcium intake or exercise though i had mentioned family history of osteoporosis. made me wait 30 mins even when no patient in Columbia Asias waiting area besides me. I think doctors should be more sincere in advise when patients spend so much time, energy n money on mere one appointment.

*** ** *** **** ******* * ** *** **************. He gives full attention to your details and opportunity to you to explain each n everything you experience. Half your problem is resolved by that. He does not give you false hope or advocates any line of treatment that is not needed, though other doctors might. Nice and warm Gentleman!
