Dr. Sushal Shanthakumar

I got referred to Dr. Sushal after consecutive shoulder dislocations. He sat me down and explained what is wrong and why I need surgery, and how it will benefit me. I've been very physically active all my life and I was apprehensive about the surgery as I was also exploring conservative ways of exercising and the long recovery was looking daunting. The surgery went smoothly, the recovery was very fast for me. After 3-4 months itself I was allowed to slowly start exercising along with the physio. I wanted an athlete centric approach to my treatment, so that I can go back to my life of working out at the gym, go boxing and swimming; and I got that here. Here I am, 6 months after the surgery, on my way to get stronger than before.

I am writing this review after 12 weeks of my son’s right shoulder surgery [arthroscopic bankart repair].

I came to know about Dr. Sushal Shanta Kumar through our long trusted and renowned pediatrician doctor.

Based on this advice, I consulted Dr. Sushal to understand the treatment process for the injury sustained by my son.

He patiently heard the case, physically examined my son and forthwith identified the problem causing discomfort to my Son. This was corroborated by the MRI Scan report as well.

Dr. Sushal after careful examination of all reports and physical examination of my son suggested us to go for bankart surgery for repair of the shoulder. He drew the parts of the shoulder and explained in detail the root cause of the issue causing discomfort to my Son’s right shoulder. He as well showed a video which had complete details that helped us understand, the root cause of the discomfort and the treatment process for repair of the injury, in a more practical way. These treatment qualities and skills are the true traits of a real experienced expert doctor.

The surgery was done in Manipal Hospital by Dr. Sushal and his team.

We were in the hospital for two nights and were discharged on the third day.

In the post-surgery consulting visits, he checked upon the recovery progress and taught some exercises as well.

My Son is currently in physiotherapy sessions and is on the road towards complete recovery.

A big thanks to Dr. Sushal Shanta Kumar for supporting us through out with all his expert skills and a very good attitude. He was always there whenever we needed his support.

He is a wonderful orthopedic who is always helpful, compassionate & lovely to speak with, at every appointment.

We are extremely happy to have come to know about Dr. Sushal who in my personal opinion is arguably the best shoulder orthopedic expert doctor in Bengaluru.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Sushal Shanta Kumar to anyone requiring a shoulder or any orthopedic injury treatment.

Visited for adhesive capsulitis in right shoulder.

I visited Dr.Sushal Shanthakumar for pain in my right shoulder which I has having from the past 4 years. Dr.Sushal Shanthakumar is very experienced and professional Doctor.

Being a sportsperson, I found it very difficult to play sports. I had given up playing both my favourite sports cricket and Badminton for 1 year due to pain. Also, I was unable to sleep on my right side. I had done X ray and MRI scan prescribed by my previous doctor. As per the MRI report, I had adhesive capsulitis in my right shoulder. Through a Doctor known to me, I came in contact with Dr.Sushal Shanthakumar. He listened to my problems very patiently and examined my shoulder thoroughly. The way he guided me was really appreciable. He advised physical therapy exercises which involved stretching, mobility and strength training. The physical therapy sessions were excellent. I strictly followed the guidelines prescribed by the Doctor. Gradually pain in my shoulder reduced and after strengthening, I was able to start playing sports. Within a span of six months, I recovered completely. His clinic is very well maintained, very spacious with good hygiene. I would strongly recommend Dr.Sushal Shanthakumar for any shoulder, sports and orthopaedic injuries.

I am writing this 6 weeks after my surgery (arthroscopic bankart repair) and the recovery has been progressing well and even better than my expectations!

I visited Dr. Sushal after 3 years of recurrent subluxation due to shoulder instability. He took the time to understand the history, the present condition and explained it very well. He patiently explained all the questions in detail and helped my family and me understand both the surgical procedure and the underlying condition anatomically through drawings and videos. Just after the first visit, all my apprehensions were gone and I was mentally prepared for the surgery and I believe that is very important for any procedure.

Post-surgery, he gave me confidence at each stage of the recovery and that helped just as much as the exercises :D

Overall, I felt that he is a wonderful person and I really appreciate the support he has provided till now. I would definitely recommend Dr. Sushal to anyone with a shoulder or an orthopedic injury.

Dr.Sushal sir is so friendly,kind hearted and so patience in listening to all our health issues.Though i had my MRI scan already done for my shoulder,he believed in his examination which a good Doctor's quality is.Doctor is so brilliant and confident in explaining the exact cause of my shoulder pain can be both from labral tear with capsulitis but also neurological pain with his thorough clinical examination of my shoulder.As he decided not to directly go with surgery,Treatment started with physical exercises,intraarticular steroid injection to treat capsulitis and finally i realised there was mild subluxation of my shoulder which i didnot notice till then.Finally,got operated arthroscopic bankarts repair for my left shoulder 8weeks back in Manipal hospital.His reassurance and post operative care was too good, now able to do all my work.Now,finally ruled out neurological cause of my pain.14 years of my cry,depression was finally ruled out. His suggestions made me mentally strong and motivated.

His clinic was maintained with good hygiene, staff was so friendly.* *** ****** ** *** ** *** **** ******* * **** **** **** ****** I strongly recommend him for all ortho related issues especially shoulder.Thank u so much sir.

Back in 2018 I met with a road accident where I suffered shoulder(left) dislocation leading to bankart's lesion. The injury was so severe that the shoulder dislocated repeatedly while doing day to day activities like wearing a shirt, strapping my backback etc. This is when I met Dr. Sushal and told him about my condition. With the MRI reports clearly stating the labrum tear and with a few shoulder mobility tests, Dr. Sushal advised me to undergo a surgery. Dr. Sushal helped me understand the entire procedure which somewhat helped me relax and take confident decision to proceed with the surgery. He also helped me chalk out a plan on how the recovery should happen post surgery. The day of the surgery I was much more relaxed and with the highly trained and expert team the entire procedure was done in about an hour. In less than 48 hours, I was discharged as well. With my monthly scheduled appointments, there was tremendous progress just after 2.5 weeks. Fast forwarding to 120th day and I was already driving car, doing push ups and yes returning to football.I would like to thank Dr. Sushal for helping me get around this so quickly and feeling much more confident about my shoulder.Thank you doc, *** *** *** *****

What impressed me is the detailed examination and at the same time reassurance and explanations, he gives, at the same time exuding calmness which is very comforting, I have undergone arthroscopic bankart repairs and post-surgery, I am really impressed with my results and feel like my shoulder is stable than before and confidence for getting the full range of motion with good pain management without compromising my lifestyle.

I would any day recommend Dr. Sushant. Thanks a lot.​​​​

I went to Dr. Sushal for the Orthoscopic Bankart Repair Procedure for my left shoulder. I was initially very hesitant about having surgery but the doctor's cheery nature *** **** ********* ** *** ***** gave me the confidence to go ahead. He patiently explained in detail the Bankart's Repair procedure and the anesthesia involved. The day of the surgery itself went like a breeze. He visited me later in the day and showed me a few exercises to regain my range of motion.

It has now been 3 months post-op and I have recovered 90% of my range. I must say a huge thank you to the doctor for helping me with the right exercises and movement advice over the last few months.

I highly recommend coming to Dr. Sushal for any Shoulder related issues, as he possess deep expertise in the field.

I had a problem with recurrent left shoulder dislocation. Primary injury was from badminton, some 10 years ago and i was not convinced with any doctor at that time and choose to be careful and not go for a surgery.

A recent dislocation got me to explore more and met up with Dr. Sushal at Manipal Hospital. He explained the problem well and since i had 120 degree ligament tear i had to take up an 'arthroscopic bankart repair with bio Sutures' surgery. Till date, i had not been given this clear picture on the problem by any other doctor.

The surgery went very well, * ********* ******** Now after 12 weeks, i feel quite confident to move my left arm more freely, without fear of dislocation. The 100% recovery could take 4-6 months along with physio excersice, but i'm 90% there and feel happy about my decision to undergo surgery with Dr. Sushal.

Thanks.

I was suffering with shoulder impingement for more than 2 years. I visited many doctors who just suggested me for physio and pain killer tablets, but all in vain. This prevented me from doing gym exercises, playing cricket or any other sport. I met doctor Sushal who understood the issue,the pain i was going through and based on the 3T MRI he suggested me for a shoulder impingement surgery. I underwent the surgery and i have no pain like before.Thanks to Sushal for giving a clear picture of it and helping me out. *** ** *** **** ******* **** **** ****
