As a parent of preterm twins, I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care provided by Dr. Sreenath and his team at Fortis Hospital, Richmond Road. Five years ago, my world was turned upside down when my twins arrived prematurely. It was an emergency delivery at 29 weeks, babies weighing just 1 kilogram each, but Dr. Sreenath guided us through every step of the journey with expertise, compassion, and unwavering dedication. It was almost a 2.5 month journey for our babies in the neonatal section.From the moment we met doc Sreenath, it was evident that we were in the hands of a true professional. His vast knowledge and experience in neonatology reassured us during a time of great uncertainty. He took the time to explain every aspect of our twins' care, addressing our concerns with patience and empathy.Throughout the NICU stay and beyond, he provided personalized attention to our twins, tailoring their care plans to meet their individual needs. He closely monitored their development, ensuring that they reached important milestones despite being born prematurely. His presence brought a sense of comfort and reassurance, turning what could have been a daunting experience into one filled with hope and optimism.Today, as our twins turn 5, we are filled with gratitude for Dr. Sreenath's instrumental role in their journey. Thanks to his unwavering dedication and expertise, our twins have flourished into happy, healthy children, defying the odds every step of the way. He will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we are eternally grateful for the profound impact he has had on our family. Thanks doctor!!Ragitha & Bijoy

Dr. Sreenath is a terrific Doctor and an awesome human being. At times the word ‘Thank you’ seem so little to express your gratitude. Through this note I just want to convey my words of thankfulness to him.
My wife had delivered our Son at Fortis LaFemme under Dr. Pratima Reddy and it was there we came across Dr. Sreenath who heads the Pediatrics department there.
All was well for the first 15 days for my baby until the 16th day when he got high grade fever ranging up to 104.2F. He was not taking his Mother’s milk and continuously crying incessantly. Utterly concerned with the unusual fever at this stage, we rushed to the hospital where he was delivered to find Dr. Shalini.
Understanding the gravity of situation she recommended to admit my infant in NICU immediately. She contacted Dr. Sreenath and made him aware of the situation. He was given paracetamol to bring down the temperature but there was no relief whatsoever. He continued to make painful sounds.
Doctor Sreenath diagnosed my baby the next day Morning and suggested a series of medical tests including the CRP, PCT and others. The initial reports suggested late onset of sepsis which is nothing but the bacterial infection. He recommended antibiotics with the likes of amic acid and peptas which helped in his treatment to a great deal. Later to understand the root cause he suggested Molecular DNA test to understand the presence of micro-organisms and treat with the right medicine. Dr. Sreenath prescribed complete 15 day anti-biotic treatment so that the infection does not haunt back in my neonate.
I vividly recall in his first counselling he explained the situation being empathetic truly sensing our concern. I cherish his words that he treats every children like his own and give his best. He even consoled my wife uttering in hindi, our mother tongue, though not his. I was amazed with his compassion and passion towards his job.
What amazed me was his accuse sense of personal responsibility. ** ** ************* ******* listens to the patients/guardians well and does best to provide the right treatment with a phased approach ensuring the problem is treated from root level and not just the surface. Dr. Sreenath is a Go-To Doctor when it comes to your pediatric needs.
Thank you and God bless.

Visited For Pediatric Treatments
Waited for almost 2 hrs for my daughter who had a terrible cough. The reason we went to him was because it was a weekend and our usual pediatrician wasn't available. After waiting so long he didn't even see us for 10 mins. Very unclear explanation about what the problem is and cause of the cough. This doctor is all hyped up on practice and even displaying all his achievements in the clinic. But he just prescribed the same medicines my daughter was already taking an that's it. Hardly gives you any time or explains the issue.

It’s true that Doctor is form of GOD, as far as my family concerned, Dr. Sreenath sir and his team proved it. It’s not possible for my family to thanks in words to you and your team. There is no doubt that you and your team not only dedicated to your work but also you take care more than your professional .....
Sir, you are very flexible and humble, even after hearing so many and some time repeated confusion and doubts of the patient you resolved all, anytime and anywhere, even on phone call and even at night also, in a very polite way.
In one - "YOU UNDERSTAND PATIENT AND THEIR FAMILY" 😊
It is just because of you and your team that 950 grams, 7 months premature and almost 2 and a half months were there in NICU baby is now healthy.
That's true if it is written in destiny than no one can deny .... so, that is some eye problem which is under treatment.
We pray to GOD that you, your family, and your team may get very good health and wealth so that you can serve more and more to the people ...
THANK YOU DOCTOR...

Just like a 🌧️ rain in the dessert,

You became the reason for our life time happiness
Our heartfelt thanks for your care and love , if you weren’t there “Nov 17, 2023” might have turned to a normal day.

Our daughter Aaliya has been Dr Sreenath's patient since she was almost 5 months old and she's 5.5years old now. I honestly can't say enough great things about Dr Sreenath and what he's done for our daughter. He's a very talented and passionate doctor who's given exceptional care to our daughter. We've had some rough rides with Aaliya and Dr Sreenath has helped us get through it all and helped us find the appropriate help for her. He's extremely polite, ************* and always ready to help any child when required which is not something we experience very often now a days. I'm an overly paranoid mother and Dr Sreenath is always there to answer my questions and to reassure me or to suggest the right treatment for our daughter even though he has an extremely busy schedule. Dr Sreenath is one of the very few doctors I've met who really cares about his patients. Recently he was available to assist and give advice to one of my friend's daughter who was not even his patient. Such pediatricians are very rare to find now a days. As a first time mother, knowing that your kid's doctor is always there to provide any medical advice to you is truly comforting!We're so grateful to have Dr Sreenath to take care of our daughter Aaliya! Thank you for always being kind and for genuinely caring.

Hoped for better: Treatment satisfaction
Simply waist of money, just had a very bad experience, as I was asked to pay for the PPE kit which doctor will be wearing and the reason they explained me that my baby was having cold 10days back, they said if baby was having cold fever or any kind of viral infection before 30day you need to pay for the PPE kit additional 500, that to after reaching the hospital, and I would have still okay with the cost if the treatment of the doctor would have been resulted well, believe me after taking the doctor's prescribed ointment ** ****** **** ********* *** ****** ***** ******** *** ***** *** ******** ***** *** ******** ** *** ****** *** **** **** ***** * **** ** **** ***** ******** ** ******* ************ *** **** * *** *** ******* ************ *** on emergency request they agreed for me to come for a walkin. Because I was not getting appointment so thought to go for the Dr. Sreenath S Manikanti as it was a skin rashes, but that cost me more than I expected. I really dont know people are giving good and positive feedback may be they are really getting well treatment or well influenced. Any wa but my experience was not at all good with them.

My baby was 15 days old and he had passed blood in stool. This is due to providing formula feed (Similac advanced) along with my feed (as my feed was insufficient). We immediately consulted the doctor and he changed the formula feed to Nutramigen. The blood in the stool has stopped but however I observed that he had discomfort in digestion and he started to mourn, when I took him to doctor I understood that he is not only intolerant to lactose but also to cow's milk protein. We did the required tests and the result was positive. Doctor switched to Neocate from Nutramigen and the baby is fine with this feed. Simultaneously I had to stop consuming milk and curds as the baby is not able to digest. This has resolved the feed issue.
Also due to my hormonal changes he had neonatal acne and the doctor suggested Atogla and Ritch lotion to subside the itchiness and red rashes that had occured on his face. I could see the results in a day's time and my baby stopped crying
In summary, Dr Srinath diagnosis infant issues with lot of patience, he listens to parents and the baby concerns. He puts a lot of effort to ensure the issue is treated immediately. I would like to thank him for the right diagnosis to my child *** * **** ** ** *** ** *** **** ************* ** **** ** ********** What also surprises me is that he is also available for video consultation whenever I have asked :)
