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.

I must say Dr. Sunder Narasimha is God’s blessing in disguise. I am telling this from the bottom of my heart, who saved my father's leg from getting amputated and saved his life.
It was in Mid May 2021 that my father had complained about severe pain in his right leg, and we had to rush him to Manipal hospital, which is very close to our place in GM Palya, where the doctor said he must do the Angiogram to check the severity of the blockage in his leg. He did tell that he may do the angioblast if they see any blockages and in case if it is complicated would inform the proceeding. During the surgery the doctor could blast the blockage in the middle artery, however, he could not do the remaining two core arteries as he felt it is not possible as the blockages were very deep. In fact, he had ruled it out as highly impossible and said the blood flow is very less and may have to wait and watch and if this worsens, he had recommended amputating the leg. Post-Surgery my dad had to go on all sorts of complications such as low BP and had to be in ICU and eventually had caught up with Delirium. After two weeks the doctor amputated his little toe, however, the wound did not heal even after three weeks of amputation, since the blood flow was very less, the doctor said that we will have to amputate his leg and said if we do his life is at risk after the surgery as his other vital parameters are very poor. We were literally shocked as we felt and hoped the leg was fine as they were well moving except the little toe not getting healed. The doctor was always emphasizing possible amputation of the leg every time we would visit.
I started looking at alternatives on google and found Dr. Sunder Narasimha at Apollo Bannergatta Bangalore, with some amazing and astonishing reviews of how he had rescued and recovered complicated cases like my father's. I had called him immediately the moment we were told that his right leg had to be amputated. Dr Sunder, told me to get my father to emergency and his team would look at as he was away on personal work. I also must say he has a very dedicated, highly skilled and extremely passionate team of doctors such has Dr Venugopal, Dr Manjunath and Dr Jiju. I took my father on July 12th Monday evening at around 5PM to emergency in Apollo Bannerghatta with very little hope. The team discussed with the doctor, and they decided to do an Angiogram and see how they can rectify the blood flow.
Apollo has a state of art Digital Carbon Dioxide based Angiography; I think very few hospitals in Bangalore may have. This enabled them to do the surgery immediately without waiting to look for controlling vital parameters such has Sugar, Creatine...etc.
July 13th Tuesday in the morning at around 5 AM, my mother called him back who was the attendee for my father and told me the Surgery proceeding will start at 6 AM and they may start the actual surgery by 8 AM, I was really surprised as in Manipal they nearly took two days with various tests and multiple consultant visits to my father’s ward before controlling and doing the surgery.
Dr. Sunder Narasimha is very talented, ****** ************** and has a fellowship in the field of Vascular Surgery, I see him never giving up till things get sorted. When we took for surgery, he had found the blockage was too heavy and was impossible with forward Angiography, he went the reverse way and got all my father’s artery cleared and showed me how he did, I bet none in the city and few in the country would be able to do that. My Father blood flow is absolutely in full, unfortunately less than 1/3 of his feet around has been amputated due to the delay that we had to undergo. However, the healing is in progress and is healing up very well. Post-surgery as Dr Sunder Narasimha and his team know all the best techniques and processes of making the wound heal fast such as putting in the Vacuum healing process and getting them dressed up in the right way has enabled my father to get into the healing phase quicker.
I strongly recommend anyone who has Vascular issues to consult Dr. Sunder Narasimha, ** ** *** **** ** *** ****** He is very polite and kind-hearted. My sincere note to the Doctor "Thank you, Doctor, you and your Team have done miracles to my father’s leg and saved, we are extremely grateful for your all that you and the team have done for the rest of our lives"

I was referred to Dr. Sunder Narasimhan for my mother's skin grafting procedure and I'm glad I had such a great medical assistance from his team. My mother had suffered septic shock and debridement was done for her leg and since the wound was so big skin grafting had to be done. I was amazed by how Dr. Sunder was so knowledgeable and advised us on the best procedures for my mother with minimalistic pain. They say you should always trust your doctor and I am glad I did... it was Dr. Sunder's calm and brilliant attitude which made me believe him blindly for each and every step and I am glad I did that. Not only is the doctor extremely knowledgably but also very very empathetic and kind. This made me have hope that my mother will be very well taken care of.
During the day of the surgery as well, Dr. Sunder's team was extremely helpful from sorting administration work to updating us about each and every aspect of the procedure. This shows how much doctor and his team cares about their patients, and I was just amazed with their approach and professionalism.
I would like to thank his team Dr. Jijio, Mamta, Vani and Rashith who were always there for any query or concern.
Last but not the least... Dr. Sunder you are a true gem! we need such doctors in this world who care so much for their patient's overall progress. I will be eternally grateful to you for all that you have done for my mother. In short, the surgery was a huge success, and my mother had no pain which is exceptional.
Visited For Diabetic Foot Treatment/Surgery
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 would like to thank Dr. Sunder Narasimhan for performing excellent surgery on my mother's limbs which was diagnosed for Bilateral lover limb varicose veins.
I had previously visited a reputed hospital for an annual health checkup for my mother who is 68 years old. Along with it we had checked on the discoloring (skin turning dark-black) near the ankles and foot. We were suggested to perform the Doppler Scan which further diagnosed to Lower Limb Varicose Veins, which needed an immediate surgery. But we weren't too confident on the surgeons in that reputed hospital, although they were the ones who identified it but then identification is one thing and performing a 100% surgery was something I was not confident about.
I came back home and started to search for Vascular Surgeons online and among a few I came across Dr. Sunder Narasimhan. I started to read about him, his experience, his accomplishments and mostly the reviews about him. I had a strong positive hunch about him and I knew my search ended here. I took an appointment with him for the very next day, consulted him with my mother along with the reports. He then suggested EVLT which was painless procedure and explained us in detail as to how it would be done and what would be the post surgery process and reactions if any.
Considering my mother had no issues with BP, diabetics or any other health issues we decided to go for the surgery the very next day and got my mother admitted.
The surgery went extremely well, I had full faith in the doctor and which is why the waiting period during the surgery was a little less stressful.
The surgery went for about 1.5 hours with additional 2-3 hours of waiting period in the OT as the local anesthesia had to wear out and my mother had to come in conscious. She had a slight pain though in the operated area but otherwise she was completely fine.
We got discharged the very next day, and a follow-up consolation in 3 days, my mom was asked to continue wearing the stockings for few weeks and she was asked to not take rest and keep walking and keep getting hydrated all the time.
Lastly, if it is a vascular surgery and if you have any doubts in the surgeon then Dr. Sunder Narasimhan is the one you need, hands down, full points for him for the way him and his team conducted themselves from the start till the end.
Thank you very much doctor, from both me and my mom. God bless you.

Dr.Sundar Narsiman – a magical vascular surgeon – Patient –Naaz Parveen
I, Naaz Parveen was suffering from varicose veins in the leg. I had consulted many vascular surgeons in Bangalore but they suggested me to wear stockings and they prescribed me have painkillers but I had no relief. I decided to go to USA. There I went to the clinic by name – Accredited clinic, Vascular Testing Faculty, Philadelphia, USA. The vascular surgeons suggested the latest technology, glue vein seal procedure. Again I had consulted many vascular surgeons in Bangalore but no relief. Then I consulted one of my relative doctors in USA who is a vascular surgeon. She suggested me to contact Dr. Sundar narsimhan who is one of the best vascular surgeons in her opinion , who is practicing at Apollo hospital Bannerghata road Bangalore. I consulted him, he examined and scanned my leg which had signs of vascular veins and showed me the exact cause of vascular veins and he heard me with patience about my complaints of itching, burning,skin irritation and sleepless nights due to pain. He suggested me that the latest technology of glue vein seal procedure and I was convinced for the treatment. I was admitted in the hospital at 9.00 am, the procedure was done at 2.00 pm and I was discharged at 5.00 pm after completing the hospital formalities. I walked out of the hospital on my own without any problems and I was surprised as if some miracle happened to me.

My father underwent angiography from a hospital after which he developed severe infection at the site of angiography. It led to extremely painful and debilitating false aneurysm, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. He was admitted in Apollo hospital Bannerghatta road in a very critical state. Dr. Sunder Narsimhan attended him and assured us that he would take care of any situation though risk was high. We felt like being in safe hands. The false aneurysm was constantly growing and needed immediate surgery but there being severe infection on the skin above it, surgery could spread the infection deeper. Hence Dr. Sunder treated it with an injection of thrombin with balloon control which reduced 80% of blood flow to the aneurysm. Max. dose of thrombin allowed had been given. Still aneurysm was so large, it kept growing.
Eventually as walls of the femoral artery had become weak so it ruptured causing acute bleeding. But for timely action of doctor Sunder it could have been disastrous. He immediately performed vein patch repair surgery and gave my father a fresh lease of life.
But biggest hurdle in the recovery was the multi drug resistant bacteria which my father contracted in the previous hospital. Inspite of giving the highest antibiotics available infection persisted due to which vein graft decayed. Again there was bleeding from the grafted artery. So another immediate surgery was performed by Dr. Sunder which involved ligation of artery by obturator bypass. After that my father got second lease of life.
He developed severe lymphorrhoea though, for which he required vacuum dressing for a few weeks.
But for the dedicated and committed efforts of Dr. Sunder and his skill, grit and determination the recovery of my father aged 84 years with multiple health problems would not have been possible. Dr. Sunder is highly proficient in state of the art modern vascular surgery techniques. Dr. Sunder exudes confidence and makes his patients feel safe and comfortable. He explains the problem and it's solution very well to his patients He must be one of the best vascular surgeons available in our country.
The hospital may be a little expensive but it is worth for the excellent patient care, health care and cleanliness they provide.We are really thankful to entire team of doctors as well as the nursing staff and the support staff for providing healing touch. May God bless all.....
