I happened to visit Dr. Sreekanth by chance, after some online research for the treatment of my father who had just undergone angioplasty in my hometown but was having a lot of other issues post the procedure. Dr. Sreekanth was immediately able to identify the issue as low electrolyte levels. At this point my father had lost confidence in his health and was having PTSD and anxiety, but Dr. Sreekanth spent the time to counsel him. I was happy with the confidence and decisiveness of his treatment. It was a critical condition so he immediately admitted my father into CCU and treated him for 1.5 days post which he prescribed medications and now my father is fit and extremely satisfied with the treatment he received. Also, as my father is getting older, he sometimes digresses from the topic when discussing his issues, which can be extremely irritating to some doctors. However, Dr. Sreekanth paid attention and was extremely calm and made sure my father was fully satisfied and had all the information he desired. I also discussed diet and nutrition at length with him and he gave us a lot of time to answer small questions about food habits. With Dr. Sreekanth's support, I've been able to switch my father to keto diet on a short term basis, which has greatly helped him in reducing weight and diabetes and improving mood. I want to personally thank him for being a supportive and calming doctor, who prescribes minimal medications and is ready to answer any and every question of the patient.

My father is detected with the hole in heart, and this news created a sort of many heart breaks, within the family. This is when, we decided to go for a second opinion. I have high regards for PRACTO, which helped me to find out Dr.Shetty. Feedbacks, he has received from the patients or their near relatives, encouraged me to meet him at SAKRA hospital.
Dr.Shreekanth is very courteous human being, who lends his ear to the words of patient and then he approaches to the problem, in such a refined manner, that patient understand what he's being given treatment for. He supervised ECHO for my dad personally and suggested, couple of more test. As the day progressed, the results gave us huge relief, since Dr.Shetty was able to explain what ASD is and why this must not be operated at this point in time.
We need to have more such doctors like him, who gives the right guidance & support for cardiac patients. His words of motivation helps patient & their relative to stay strong and be positive.
Thanks Doc!!!!

I Happened to visit the doctor due to a vein block in left limb for my mother. My mother is cancer patient. Dr. Sreekanth B Shetty is extremely friendly, understood my mom's condition, prioritized the visit, thought 360 degrees to avoid migrations to other vitals. Doctor is very knowledgeable about complication and gave a serious thought between home management or hospitalization for my mother. Finally decided on home care based on few tests and reports. The staff is very helpful in understanding , took personal care in prioritizing the visit. Special mention about Shabnam on her good response, She was helpful in keeping slot open for me as i need to come back home and get her back to the doctor. Dr Chitra was responsive in coordinating with the staff today too and got the doctor's appointment. Thanks Svasti Heart care. Definitely recommend this doctor and clinic for all cardiac problems. Interventional Cardiology is 3X complicated than any other cardiac issues. so Go to this doctor for best consultation .
Visited For Angioplasty and Stenting
Visited him regarding my father's heart blockages consultation and treatment. My father had total occulsion in RCA and blockages in other arteries. He explained the issue and treatment in great detail with the associated risks frankly which I really appreciate. After his consultation, I got second and even third opinion but the other doctors said more or less the same things which he did, making us trust his line of treatment fully. So we went with him for my father's angioplasty. It was smooth and we were satisfied.
I recommend him without a doubt. Trust me you won't regret.

*** ********* ****** ** *** ** *** **** ************* humble, caring, patient friendly and empathetic Doctor I have ever seen. He has been treating my father since 10 years. Though he is now located a bit far from the place where we stay, it always pulls us to go to him bound to his nature and the care he takes to treat the patient. I just can say this, be rest assured that you are in safe hands if Dr. Shetty is taking care of you or your family member. I cannot thank more for all sort of treatments and the care he has taken of my father. Our sincere thanks to him not just being the words. Long live dear sir. Your service to the society is incredible.

Dr Sreekanth and Dr Chitra are simply wonderful doctors. They personify all the positive qualities that a doctor should possess. They are not just professionals of the highest order but are very friendly and kind. They put you at ease right away and you know that you are in good hands. Dr Sreekanth never advises tests unless absolutely necessary.
They have fostered a great culture in their organization. Their front office executive Ms Shabanam is very helpful and responsive. They provide excellent video consults - a boon in these covid times. Dr Sushma who visits there is also an excellent doctor. A big thanks to Svasti and the good doctors and staff.

I really felt, Dr. Sreekanth is really a passionate guy towards his work. From Apollo I got heart X-ray and had some doubt regarding it and hence went to meet him on 26/08/2020. He saw the reports and told it's normal and no need to worry. I came to reception to pay consultant fee then they told that doctor asked them to not to take fee itself. When I went to doctor to ask why he is not taking fee then he told it's normal and he has done nothing for me. More ever he is very cool and composed guys.
