Dr. Shanthala Thuppanna

I had a hysterectomy done by Dr Shanthala and her team. I am very happy with their treatment. My case was complicated and I was very scared. But the doctor ensured that everything went smoothly. Highly recommend Sakra hospital and Dr Shanthala. Entire staff was quite helpful. I am grateful. Doctor always encouraged me and helped ease my doubts regarding the surgery. ** ********* ** **** * *** ** *** Dr Sathya was also very helpful . Ms Maria was very cooperative . The entire team took ***** care of me before and after the surgery .Hats off to Sakra , Dr Shanthala and her excellent team

I consulted her for a hysterectomy because fibroids was causing excessive heavy bleeding that left me severely anemic and affected my lifestyle very badly. She counseled me very well before the surgery explaining the process options and risks. She gave me the confidence to go ahead with the surgery. She and her excellent surgical team did a fantastic job and the post recovery was so smooth that it surprised me. I could walk in a few hours after surgery and went home after 48 hours. She told me what to follow after surgery and was very confident and explained everything in details which helps to take decisions and set expectations. Highly recommend her for any gynecology issue. I trust her and the team at Sakra to do an excellent job and the best care in Bangalore.

I would not recommend this doctor at all. I visited her via a health care package I booked at Sakra. I had nonstop uterine bleeding for months and wanted a comprehensive checkup.

I walked in, she had one foot up in her chair and I hoped this meant she was a relaxed, open person. Quite the opposite.

She barely glanced at my chart, signed it and tossed it back on the table. She said I was fine.

I explained my condition. And she scribbled a birth control pill on the chart before tossing it back. She hadn't even spelled my name correctly though it was right there on the chart, this shows how closely she looked at my test results.

I further explained how I have an immune disorder, thyroid issues and would also like to consider a hysterectomy to improve my quality of life. She dismissed my issues and said wait till 40. She also put all the onus on my weight. The doctor insisted my issues were due to my weight gain. I highlighted I had these same issues when I was thin with an eating disorder and the thyroid condition arose recently causing weight gain. She shrugged and asked what I eat daily. **** ****** *** * ****** ************ ****** *** **** ******* **** ** ****** ******** ** ***** *****

I asked if the birth control would interact with any of my other medications and she waved her hand saying no.

I also highlighted that I have CPTSD due to DV when she kept insisting I was making excuses and was just fat. *** ******* **** * **** ***** * *** **** ******* **** * ******* ************ ******* ** * ******* ****** ****** ************** ***** ****** ** *** **** *** ** ************* **** *** ******* ******* ** ** *** ****** ** *** ********** **** ****** ** ***** *** ********** *** **** ****** ** *** ****** ******* ******* ** **** ** *******

I decided to give the birth control she prescribed a try. The next month was agony. I had severe full body pain, nausea, fatigue and vomiting. I looked up the birth control as it was the only new thing. It had an item I'm allergic to. Despite me highlighting this to the doctor and enquiring about interactions.*** ******* * ****** ** ******** *** ********** ******* ***** ******* ***** ** **** ******* *** *** ******** ** *** **** ***** ** ********** *** ********** ********* *** *** **** *** ****** ****

I wanted to warn other potential patients before they experience this. * ****** ** ******** **** *** ******** ** ***** *** **** ** *** ******** **** ******

I had a very bad experience, an emergency situation of excessive blood loss in urine, severe abdominal pain and tiredness. Doctor prescribed a Urinary routine test and Culture stimulation(result would take 3 days) and very basic medicines. Symptoms were concluded as UTI, ***** medicines for 3 days and no emergency steps were taken.

As I was unsatisfied, visited another hospital. **** *** ******** *** ***** ** ***** ******* ********** *********** *** ********* ***** **** ******

I am extremely disappointed **** ***** ********** ***** ********* *** ***** ******** *******

Dr. Shanthala is a life saviour. I have very rarely come across a doctor who is so patient, calm, friendly and most importantly so good at what she does. She is one of the very few Laparoscopic surgeons available in Bangalore, maybe India. She knows her job. Talks to the point and is genuinely a very -very good doctor. She saved my 77 year old grandmother from a fibroid/tumor. Almost no doctor wanted to perform a hysterectomy on a geriatric patient, but she was confident from day 1. The way she handles her patient and visitors, the way she explains things, has a human touch. All women suffering from related issues must make a visit to her.

I am writing to Thank Dr. Shantala Thuppanna for her excellent diagnosis, approach and friendliness with which she explained the issue and the solution that she gave which gave relief, satisfaction and kind of confidence. We were confused and worried with the suggestions given by other doctors. But its Dr. Shantala Thuppanna who understood the situation and did the right thing to treat the condition considering the all the factors.

It’s not just the treatment, but the care and responsiveness shown by doctors like Dr. Shantala makes the difference.

I was diagnosed for fibroids and was suggested to get it operated. We got to know about Dr Shanthala through my sister's friend, in the very first visit doctor gave me a whole picture of what the surgery was all about, expense,insurance coverage,stay in the hospital, post surgery care. This made me feel well prepared for the surgery. We decided to get it operated in few weeks time and its been a month now and Im glad I went to Dr Shantala, everything went very smooth and her team made me feel very comfortable. Along with the good experience she had the way she took me through the whole process was amazing. Thank you once again for taking care of me so well.

I was suffering from Endometriosis for the past two years. I was taking medications to relieve my symptoms and avoid surgery. Things were going fine until recently when my doctor told me that my endometriosis has increased in size and advised me to go for a total hysterectomy through an open surgery. She completely ruled out the option of laparoscopy. Since it was a complex surgery, we decided to go for a second opinion. After reading positive reviews about Dr. Shanthala Thuppanna, we approached her at Sakra World Hospital. She was confident that the surgery could be performed laparoscopically and only in a complex scenario would she do an open surgery. She answered all my queries patiently and we decided to go with her. Her coordinator ensured the entire process from hospitalisation to discharge was smooth. My surgery (Total hysterectomy + Bilateral Salpingo Oopherectomy) was done laparoscopically which made me little relaxed and my post surgery issues were also very well taken care of by her dedicated team of doctors and nurses before I was discharged. The hospital staff was also very cooperative and helpful.

I am extremely thankful to Dr Shanthala Thuppanna and her team for my treatment and would highly recommend her for her expertise and genuineness.
