Doctor has a very calm demeanour, spends time and gives detailed explanation of the issue/treatment and instills confidence in the patients without frightening them. Does not prescribe invasive procedures or medications. We had visited for a second opinion on another doctor's referral and glad we did. Thank you, doctor.

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.

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 .
