I am adding this review to aid others who might be searching for a good Senior Neurologist in a stressful situation - me & my family went through this very recently and were fortunate enough to have chosen Dr MadhuSudhan B K. I would strongly recommend him based on my experience.
Background:
One of the family members started to find it harder to find their way back home from a nearby shop all of a sudden. We have been living in the same house for almost 7years. We were worried and took him to a general physician who then referred us to consult a Neurologist for help on this issue.
We started searched for a Senior Neurologist but were seeing mixed reviews for everyone we could find. After much search, we decided to go in for a consultation with Dr MadhuSudhan B K. He evaluated the family member and asked a set of questions related to simple subtraction, today's date and so on. He also recommended an MRI Scan and EEG. The MRI Scan came out without issues, but there was a lot of variations in the EEG report which was alarming. He asked us not to panic, gave us a lot of hope and recommended a few more blood tests be done - some of these take 4 days as they are sent to Mumbai for processing. Based on the past blood test reports, he also asked for booster shots of Vitamin B12 to be administered. He recommended an interim set of medications for those 4 days and sent us back home while we were ok with getting admitted at the hospital - I can still recall his words - at Hospital we can only treat the family member, but the real recovery and healing happens at the home amongst the family members. He recommended a few things around the diet and sent us back home. At this stage, we were really not sure if we have chosen the right doctor.
From the blood test reports, it was determined that LGi-1. Antibody (VGKC type) was positive. Working as a Software professional, I did not know what this meant. The doctor explained that the body's immunity system was affecting/killing the body's own healthy Neurons resulting in this problem. We were more interested in how to get this fixed - he explained that this is a relatively newer problem and there are multiple course of treatments possible and that we should try with simpler ones first before going in for more complex options which are not only costlier but also carry a significant risk for the family member. We were in agreement and the course of treatment started with a cocktail of steroids. The family member complained that these were causing them to be drowsy but yet could not sleep properly in the night, hence we consulted the doctor again and he mentioned that the medicines currently being given have this side effect and he will not add any sleeping medicines as it will adversely affect the family member. He recommended meditation and some yoga if possible at the age.
Now at the end of the course, the family member is doing well and has completely recovered without going in for any of the other complicated treatments.
I sincerely believe that Dr Madhusudhan B K is a very good doctor who takes to heart the overall well being of his patients and does things that is right for the patient, though at times (when the sleep tablets request was rejected) it would appear to be blunt.
I personally gave him a chocolate as a token of gratitude for helping my family in our time of need.
