Accurate and thorough diagnosis in finding the root cause of the disease, brilliant command over administering the right medicine, up-to-date with modern drugs, compassionate in handling his patients, anytime approachable, spending good amount time with each patient, highly qualified yet so humble and modest - these are few of the many qualities which describe my most favorite doctor in Bangalore - Hareesha Babu in a nutshell.
I had gone nuts by meeting many renowned super-specialists from some of the top hospitals in India to manage my father hypertension for 10 years before 2013. Nothing yielded any positive results. Then I fortunately met Dr. Hareesha Babu **** ****** ********* ********** And the miracle happened! My father is 75 now and his BP is under control since last 6 years under his excellent treatment and guidance.
Same story goes for my mother as well. She had T2DM, HTN, DVD, osteoarthritis, anemia, shortness of breath, dyspnea on exertion and general weakness for many years which could not be treated by the GPs and Interventional Cardiologists (apparently seeming to be the 1st line treatment path perceived by many of us) before 2013. Dr. Hareesha Babu rightly diagnosed the chronic kidney disease and under his able treatment my mother's quality of life has improved dramatically since last 6 years - she is 74 now.
I thank Dr. Hareesha Babu from the core of my heart for all the care and timely treatment he provided to my old parents. Same success stories for can be heard from all my friends & family members who I referred as well. May god bless him with fame, fortune and a good health.
Apart from being a Nephrologist he is an excellent general physician as well and can manage all kinds of modern lifestyle induced diseases efficiently.
A doctor of the caliber of Hareesha Babu is an asset to the country and I strongly recommend of Dr. Hareesha Babu to everyone for all kinds of BP, anemia & Chronic Kidney Disease related health conditions.

He is treating my dad from last few months and he is stable since we started seeing this doctor. He makes my dad feel good and also makes sure he understands him. My dad is a stroke patient and we have taken 3 years to find a doctor who could be booked often or be reachable.

I have been consulting Dr. Hareesha Babu for close to about two years. Half the illness is expected to disappear when the Doctor is friendly and available during the taxing times. Dr. Hareesha babu is one such individual and is available any time of the day through call/WhatsApp. Apart from paying due attention to the illness and subsequently treating them, he motivates the patient & family member with his reassuring words. Without a grain of doubt, I recommend Dr. Hareesha Babu for ailment related to UTI / Nephrology.

I had consulted doctor Harish Babu for the protein leakage in urine and he upfront suggested for the kidney biopsy ******* ******* *** ***** ******* ** ******* ** ***** ******** ****** He made us so worried so we agreed on biopsy and he performed biopsy in Svastha hospital on Sunday even I told him about the unavaility of doctors ex radiologist, anesthesiologist and other doctors incase of any misshapen. Hospital staff inuding doctor was very unprofessional and they were fighting infront of me in OT. I am not sure what happened during the biopsy but I got fainted. Later he told me I have vasovagol syncope. when I told him that same happened me one time during the blood donation 5 years back. He asked me twice about the concent form that I had to fill before biopsy. ** *** **** ***************** ** *** **** ******* ****** *** ********** Initially dr told me biopsy failed and he will try again in next morning but after procedure I had lot of bleeding in urine through out the night and weakness. when he came to know about the blood he said he had taken one tissue and he will send that and no biopsy again. ***** ** *** *** ******* **** ******* *** ******* ** *** *** ******** Next day I was discharged from the hospital after paying huge amount. After four days, I came to know that tissue was inadequate and I will have to go again under biopsy and with some reduced charges this time. I am still in mental trauma and not able to trust the doctor anymore. I would suggest all that doing kidney biopsy is very sensitive and costly compare to other tests and think twice as it is a major part of body *** ** *** ** ***** ** ** ****** ****** *** ** **** **** **** ******** ***** **** ** ****** ***** ****** *** *** ********** ****** ****** *** *** ********* ***** ********* ****** ******* ** ** ** ******* ** ********* ** ******* ********* *********** **** ** ***** ** ********* ****** ***** *** **** ** *** **** ** **** ********* ***** ****** *** ******* **** ****** *******

Firstly, the doctor was late by 45 minutes for 5pm appt. My house was nearby so went home, then we recieved a call at 5:30 when we went there again. Doctor wasn't there yet.
The doctor was ignorant about the fact he was very late. We ignored that and showed him the reports. All he did was just write down the report numbers on his paper. He even wrote all the tablets my mom was taking. And added +4 more tablets. I requested him to explain the report and what those numbers on the report mean. For tht he added +4 more tests which had to be done. I asked him to explain my mom's condition atleast a bit.. for which he said bp is high.. I controlled myself n smiled. N left!

He is a really nice person, he listened to everything with patience and answered every doubt unlike most of the doctors these days. He seemed a very experienced doctor. Even when I had queries after the consultation, he replied to every message. He is a very good and genuine doctor. Thank you Doctor.

Doctor Hareeisha Babu gives a patient hearing, understands the problem and very comfortable to discuss. ei explained the matter threadbare. I am happy about it. Only one issue, that is, his chamber is at his residence without a proper setup like reception, waiting place, etc. A patient has to stand on the road and wait till the doctor comes. I have bought this matter to his knowledge. ******* ** ** * **** *******

Dr. Hareesha was very humble and very calm to resolve all the issues and doubts we had. I visited Dr. for my mother as was suffering with Kidney issues. Dr. gave right medicines and my mother's BP was in control the very next day. He asked us to do only those tests which were appropriate and nothing more. *** ******** ** *** ** *** **** *** ******* ****** * **** ****

Dr. Hareesha was referred to me by another Dr. He is very grounded and friendly. I had consulted Dr. Hareesha for my Dad's Kidney related issues. He took time in explaining the problem and the suggested suitable medicines.
I again consulted him after several days and without any hesitation he suggested suitable medicines. He was very quick in his response and I had a feel good factor with him.
My trust and confidence are always with him. Thanks.
