Based on lot of research and multiple suggestions from different people, I decided to consult Dr. Vidyadhara S (HOD Spine Department - Manipal Hospital) for my mother Renu Anand's spine problem as she was suffering from Leg pain & numbness since last few years due to her spine issue. While consultation he patiently examined deeply, listened to her problem and gave us the much needed confidence and advise to undergo a spine surgery L3/L4 and L5/L6 fusion/decompression. Because of his level of knowledge, confidence and expertise we did not give a second thought and decided to go ahead for the surgery. Her surgery happened last week on 18th Aug 2022 and I am happy to say that she started walking on the evening of her surgery date itself and as today its her 5th day post surgery she is improving everyday. Dr. Vidyadhara is a true gem and a Big Thanks to him for being so much more than I ever would have thought I could find in a senior doctor. Shoutout for a great team of doctors headed by Dr. Vidyadhara especially Dr. Bala, Dr. Ashish and Dr. Prabhakar for their guidance and support starting from the first day itself till today. I have never came across such a wonderful and a professional team of doctors who tirelessly work 24×7 for the service of their patients. Thanks to Dr. Vidyadhara and entire spine team of Manipal for the tremendous skill in performing my mom's surgery. Your talent and caring manner is a credit to the medical profession. You guys are truly a lifesaver... Thank you, again !!!

Dr. Vidhyadara helped me get back to my normal lifestyle after a Microdiscectomy surgery on my L4-L5 level. I consulted doctor after my posture had tilted by about 30 degrees and I had chronic sciatica which was constant. This limited me to even sleep in any position. Even though the doctor has recommended surgery, I was trying alternate medicine to avoid surgery which made my ailment aggravate to an extent that I had to be hospitalized at 2:00 am in the night.

Hoped for better: Explanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
I went to visit this Doctor for my mom's lower back pain issue. While explaining him the problem I found that he is not interested in listening to what I say and was focusing on only spine surgery. May be it is the only solution to my mom's problem but he should have enough patience to at least hear my problems. Anyway, I overlooked this and thought of going ahead with spine surgery since he was very sure that the problem will be resolved.
