Consulted for evaluating my mother whether she had diabetic foot issues as she is a long time diabetic and was facing some issues with her feet. Doctor calmly and attentively listened to us and undertook a physical examination followed by a scan. He showed and simultaneously explained the scan stating to our relief that the blood vessels deep and on surface were conducting the blood pretty well and mentioned no other interventions like laser etc is required. Prescribed medication and cream to keep leg well moisturised and to help the diabetic neuropathy problem. Advised mother to focus on diabetes control and not be pushed to taking up other treatments that other docs may suggest like laser etc. All through Dr. Sundar was very understanding, spoke assuringly, and gave confidence to mother. I appreciate Dr. Sundars expertise and approach and would recommend him to others looking for a evaluation and resolution to vascular issues of the feet.

I visited Bengaluru in the month of October 2022 and after consultation with one of the doctors of Basanthnagar locality's hospital, it was suggested that the set up of a stent was extremely necessary and inevitable. I was totally astonished as there were no such symptoms at all. Even regarding my vericose vein problem, there were no problems of itching, swelling or clotting etc.

Then one of my friend of Astra Zeneca gave me his reference and during consultation he elaborately described all the procedures. He almost did the colour droppler test in presence of my wife and friend himself without charging a penny. Thereafter he also drew the blood circulation path of the lower part of our body and vividly described the necessity of the stent.

Last but not the least he told us about the procedure of Angiogram and informed us that just before the operation he would perform the Angiogram test and if any blockage was detected, he would opt for its removal via the balloon treatment unless the blockage is too severe.

We were very happy with his detailed explanation and made up our mind to be operated under him.

On 18.11.22. i.e. on the date of operation and after the Angiogram, the Doctor informed me that there was no blockage, the dye was flowing very smoothly and thus there was no need for the placement of any stent. I was fully relaxed before my varicose vein operation through Laser Technology.

Now after the operation, on that very day I was able to walk slowly at late night and the recovery process is going on smoothly. On 25.11.22 after final check up with the doctor S.Narasimhan, we returned to Kolkata.

I sincerely convey my gratitude to Dr. S.Narasimhan, Dr Manju ( his Junior ) and his whole team ( I apologize for not being able to recollect their names ) for their excellent work and strongly recommend this Doctor and his team for varicose vein related problems.

Dr Narasimhan is very friendly, approachable, and always gives ample time to his patient and relatives to clear any persisting doubts. And most important thing is that most of the time he himself takes up the job irrespective of it being a colour droppler test or a simple task of bandaging.

Only thing I would like to add here is that there is a need of operation clips and hope that infrastructure will be developed by Apollo Bannerghatta Unit in near future.

I again thank Dr. Narasimhan and his team for their excellent work. May their skillful work gets known to a wider audience and prosper.

I would always be grateful to Dr.Sunder Narasimhan for the kind of treatment he has given to my father which in all aspects helped my father come out of a serious condition of Diabetic Foot.

It was on Sept 27 2019 that we first consulted Dr.Sunder Narasimhan at Apollo Hospitals Bannergatta road. My father was suffering from Dry Gangrene and the infection was spreading fast from his toes to his legs. He is diabetic and 62 yrs old. As soon as the doctor examined his legs,he was sure of the disease and suggested for an Angiogram. We got it done and the reports showed up to be disappointing, the blood flow in his legs was very thin.This had to be corrected before treating the Gangrene.

Dr.Sunder Narasimhan and his Team suggested that stent placement can be done,but due to heavy deposits in the arteries present in thigh region this procedure was unsuccessful.We were heartbroken and this is when the doctor went ahead with a Bypass surgery for the legs. This procedure was conducted on Oct 3 2019 and it went on for 9 hours.

We trusted the doctors and we were not wrong in doing so.The operation was successful and the blood flow showed up to be normal.

This gave us more hope on his recovery.Slowly he was strong enough to walk on his legs and then there was still this infection in his legs that we had to deal with.

On 10th Oct 2019 my father was discharged for a week.

21st Oct 2019 , we got admitted in the hospital for his Toe Amputation process. On 22nd the operation was performed. One toe from each leg was amputed. For 3 days he was kept under observation.Since the infection had spread to one more toe , even that was amputed on 31st Oct 2019.

All through this process the whole team of Dr.Sunder Narasimhan was very supporting and hopeful which helped our family to survive such dreadful situation. For another one month, till Nov 18th 2019 ,my father was admitted for post operation recovery. After final discharge, when my father was healing, we were asked to visit the doctor on alternate days for dressing procedure for 4 months till 11th March 2020.

His legs were slowly recovering with continuous dressing and antibiotic course. We followed the antibiotic course as suggested by Dr. Vinay (Infectious Disease) and we also were suggested to go for Vacuum dressing for one leg which helped in healing procedure.

I would like to convey my heartfelt regards to Dr.Sunder Narasimhan , Dr. Manju Bharath , Dr .Jijo , Dr. Vinay (Infectious disease), Dr. Kalpana Janardhan( General Medicine), Nutritionist and Mr.Krishna Reddy (adivosary officer NMDC) for their timely advice and support.

Special regards to Dr. Basil for his continuous support throughout.

I thank all the nursing staff and cleaning staff for the commendable service.
