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.

I was suffering from severe lower back pain from last 2 years and have visited many doctors but there was no relief in the pain. I then visited my son in bangalore and we consulted doctor Karthik for my problem. In my first visit itself he clearly explained the problem in my L4-L5-S1 region. He was very friendly and assured me that i will be able to walk normally after the surgery. The surgery was done very meticulously by Dr Karthik and his team. Dr. Dwarkanath (Diabetologist) also guided me throughout the process to keep my sugar levels in check. *** **** ***** ** *** **** ** **** ******** ** *** ****** ****** **** *** ***** ****** *** ***** **** ** **** ** ******* *****

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.

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.
