Dr. K Kartik Revanappa

Dr. K Kartik Revanappa's expertise proved invaluable in alleviating my mother's severe back pain resulting from nerve compression in her backbone. Upon reviewing the MRI scans, Dr. Kartik recommended surgery, assuring us with his calm demeanor and providing the necessary courage to my mother for the surgery.

His professionalism and dedication were evident throughout the entire process, allowing my mother to regain her mobility and carry out day-to-day activities without pain after surgery. I highly recommend consulting Dr. Kartik for those dealing with neuro or spinal issues, as his guidance and care have been exceptional.

I extend special thanks to Dr. Ramesh Sungal and Dr. Abhilash Nataraj for the special care and for referring us to Dr. K Kartik Revanappa. Their support went beyond medical expertise, serving as both counselors and guides.

We are grateful for their comprehensive approach to healthcare, making a significant difference in our experience.

I had disc bulge and disc degeneration (L5-S1) for over a decade with multiple episodes of severe back pain. I had developed leg pain over the past six months that became so excruciating that I was unable to stand or walk for more than a few minutes. I am a 31-year-old working woman, and this completely disrupted my personal and professional life. While I consulted several doctors, tried medication and physiotherapy, it was all in vain, until I consulted Dr. Kartik Revanappa and realized the severity of my condition. Dr. Kartik explained that the disc was severely compressing my nerves at the L5-S1 level, and advised for a lumbar decompression surgery to relieve the pressure. He patiently explained the entire procedure to me with all details and stages of recovery. He was available to answer my queries at all hours, both before and after the surgery.

I was admitted to Apollo Hospital Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore, the day before the surgery; the staff at Apollo were polite and caring. I was able to walk within a few hours after the surgery, and it felt almost surreal to not have any leg pain after spending months in agony. Like many people, I was apprehensive about spine surgery, but having the surgery has completely changed my life for the better. I am glad to have had Dr. Kartik as my doctor; his friendly demeanor, patience, care, and vast experience in his field gave me a lot of confidence. It’s been three weeks since the surgery, and my life is almost back to normal. I cannot thank Dr. Kartik enough for everything he has done to give me my life back.

Have you been able to see somebody happy and rejoicing on the fact that she can walk without feeling any radiations in the leg. Yes that is my mom's case.

We are from Cameroon and my mom since almost 5 years she was suffering from back pain and this become the last 2 years and severely the last past 7 months. We decided to move from our country come in Bangalore. Not an easy choice, but hoping in Jesus to help us find the right neurosurgeon who can take of my mom case.

We visit 3 hospitals and 3 neurosurgeons. And we feel comfortable with Dr Kartik.

Professionnaly and friendly he explains us what was going through the mri. He has been able to give my mom some peace. The surgery has been successful and during all the time we spent before admission,our stay in the hospital and the recovery time at home. The doctor has been and still available for any of our requirements.

He knows his work and take care of his patients and follow them. His concern is your health and with a smile give you advices.

We thank God for the wisdom and intelligence and the gifted hands of this doctor and we're happy He has guided us to him. Thank you doctor for your kindness,your opened ears and professionalism.

Choosing your doctor right is always important. I was suffering from an extruded disc from last few months and the pain was on its extreme. Pain killers were really helpless. I was really confused what to do next as living with this pain was something I could never imagine of. That was the time I heard about Dr.Karthik Revanappa of Apollo Bannerghatta Road. To understand him better I have gone through the practo reviews and the experiences of each person made me decide to meet doctor without a second thought. Doctor suggested me to go for a Lumbar decompression surgery. I was surprised with the kind attitude of doctor while explaining the pre and post surgery procedures . I had undergone the surgey after few days and from the moment I got admitted to the hospital till discharge and during the recovery phase the support doctor extended was beyond expectations. The smile that he wears is the biggest support that we could ever get. Now iam recovered from all the pain that I was suffering from days together. I would be grateful if this could help someone to choose their doctor right !

I was suffering from sciatica in the last 2 months which became very intense and no pain killers eased the pain, that is when I consulted Dr. Karthik. Doctor went through my reports and suggested for a lumbar decompression surgery. Doctor was very kind enough to explain the pre and post operation procedure and it's associated risks.

I had read positive reviews and great feedback about doctor. I trusted him , so without any second thought, I underwent the surgery 12 days back. My pain is absolutely gone after the Operation. However I am been on a restricted activities for a month and will be resuming to the work afterwards. I feel, i took a best decision in choosing a right doctor !!!!

I am falling short of words to explain my profound gratitude and regards to specially Dr Karthik Revanappa and the supporting staff of Apollo, Bannerghatta road.

I wish this review could help many people like me who suffered the pain and also help them in choosing a right doctor.

Thanks all,

Shruthi.

I was suffering from spine tuberculosis and lot of back pain, Karthik sir explained about how tuberculosis spread into your spine, his team removed pus from my spine twice, they released the pressure on my nerve. Now am I able to walk , run, do everything. I am very thankful to karthik sir.

One fine morning my wife had major jerk in lower back with severe pain and she was not able to move at all. As first aid, we showed to physician near to our locality, he tried symptomatic treatment, but pain was not coming down at all. We rushed to Apollo Bannerghatta Road in the night under advice of Dr. Manish Samson sir. With initial treatment to reduce the pain, advised to do MRI urgently and through MRI it was discovered that there was a slip disk at L4/L5 causing lumbar nerve compression. As disc was big and causing severe nerve compression, resulting in numbness in leg along with severe pain, there was no option but surgery.

Dr. Manish Sir referred us to Dr. Karthik Sir and informed us that Dr. Karthik Sir is one of the best neuro spine surgeons. Situation was critical as nerve remaining compressed was risky. Considering the situation, without losing time, Dr. Karthik Sir helped us to give his appointment for surgery next days itself. Admission was done on Sunday and Surgery was planned for Monday, before surgery Dr. Karthik sir met us in the ward explained the process to us and gave the complete comfort feeling, in fact he spoke to us in Marathi and made us more comfortable. We met Dr. Karthik sir first time, but the kind of comfort we received was very different. Surgery was done on Monday evening, after surgery, doctor came out of OT and informed us that surgery was successful, and I was extremely relieved, doctor asked me and my daughter to see her in observation ICU. Post surgery, there was lot of personal attention and care provided until she was discharged. Doctor gave us the post discharge plan explained us how to pain will come down gradually each day and how the recovery will progress. It happened exactly the same way, really appreciate the accuracy of recovery forecast. Now my wife is back to normal, walking normally, no pain, no numbness in legs. *** ******* *** ** ********* *********** *** ******** ******* truly world class doctor. We are very grateful to Dr. Karthik sir for all the support, and everything done for us.

Right from the beginning, we found Dr Karthik to be sincere, honest *** ********* ************** He was always calm and positive which always has a huge impact on not only the patient but friends and family as well. Given my mother is also a heart patient and the condition she was brought to the ED, it's a miracle that she has survived and is recovering very well without any complications

Dr Karthik was approachable and use to explain the accurate condition of the patient and the associated options very well. We use to meet him everyday *** ***** **** ** **** ****** **** ************* *** ** ******* ** ********Frankly, my confidence about my mom getting better use to go up every time I spoke to him.

I will be ever thankful to Dr Karthik and am a big fan of him for life ... he is real life saver .

I recommend Dr Karthik to everyone who requires help in areas he specialises in

My mom was brought to the Emergency department with history of sudden onset unresponsiveness following a fall at home on 22nd of May 2017. Her local examination showed that her left pupil was not reacting to light and right pupil 3.5 mm and not reacting to light..She was not moving the left upper and lower limbs..Her CT scan of the brain showed a large left fronto temporo parietal acute subdural hematoma with mass effect and midline shift of 1.87 cm to the right side..there was evidence of left uncal herniation, compression of the midbrain and dialation of right temporal horn..

Dr. Kartik was called and he explained me the seriousness of the condition and the need of an emergency decompression as a life saving procedure..

She was rushed to the OT and was done with the needed operation..Next day onwards, CT scan showed decrease in the mass effect and midline shift.. Dr. Kartik helped us in remaining ourselves calm and being patient..He explained us the situation very clearly. We knew her condition was not stable but by looking at Dr.Kartik's confidence, we were quite hopeful..My mom gradually regained consciousness and started moving all her four limbs and within ten days of admission, she was discharged in a hermodynamically stable condition..

We believe that Dr. Kartik gave my mom a second life and will highly recommend Dr. Kartik ..

My mother was admitted to Apollo hospital on an emergency basis subsequent to her fall which required immediate surgery (decompressive craniectomy) to ease the swelling and remove clots in the brain. The doctor while being comforting, explained to us the urgency of the situation. He also briefed us on the potential benefits and risks with great clarity. The surgery (which was unplanned) was performed from mid-night till early morning, which clearly demonstrates his dedication. Further, the doctor was easily accessible throughout the post-operative hospitalisation and addressed the concerns we had with patience.

The treatment effected by Dr. Kartik not only has been a life-saver but also effective in bringing my mother's life back to normal. The post-operative reviews, in the last two years have been insightful and pleasant. I recommend Dr. Kartik for all neuro/spine issues. .
