I really appreciate the doctor friendly behavior. he is really a nice and honest doctor. My mother in law is his current patient. She is suffering from Uti with CKD Stage 4 and he is treating her. The way he behaved with my mother in law was really great as her morale boosted up and she felt better and was releaved of fear that she is undergoing with any major issue, though she was suffering a lot. keep up the great work doc patients do require such kind of doc who can treat them physically and mentally which at time gets missed from many of them.👍 Last week I went to him without the patient and just carried the culture report he really mentioned everything well that too in details which I really appreciate.
Consulted Dr. Sunder Narasimhan (General Surgeon) for Peripheral Vascular Angioplasty & Stenting
Happy with: Explanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
Two years ago.upon severe burning sensation under my feet, I consulted a doctor in Mangalore who confirmed it was varicose vein issue after a doppler test and treated me initially. And I was asked to wear compression socks. Pain reduced a bit but my feet hurt as bad when I walked for more than half a kilometre. Upon repeatedly consulting the doctor, I was advised that compression socks were good and I managed for close to two years thereafter.
Two months back I developed unbearable pain behind the calf muscles and I was unable to walk for more than 100mts at a time. Upon resting it, I could walk another 100. Since the pain didn't reduce, the doctor asked me to consult an orthopaedic specialist who did an x-ray and gave tablets for a month. It didn't help. Later he did an MRI for Spinal examination and found no problem. He asked me to go for a peripheral artery Doppler test, which showed that the artery vein below the knee was completely blocked. I was advised to meet a cardiac surgeon who did a CT angiogram to confirm the same.
I was later asked by my general physician to contact Dr Sunder Narasimhan in Bengaluru's Apollo hospital. By now, I had lost hopes as the pain was unbearable and thought I would lose my leg. Upon coming to Apollo hospital on Bannerghatta road, I was immediately admitted and was taken under the care of Dr Sunder Narasimhan and his efficient team for the following week. A long challenging process began and the surgery lasted three days long. Peripheral angioplasty and Thrombectomy was conducted, and finally, the haematoma was evacuated on the third day of surgery.
Many bottles of blood, never-ending hours of OT time at a stretch each day, and after resting my hopes in the hands of experts, I have survived a three-day-long tedious surgery now. The cause for the condition is yet to be known. But had it been detected two years ago, a long and challenging surgery could have been avoided with medications alone. However, by the grace of Dr Sunder Narasimhan, his efficient team and their expertise, I stand to walk ahead longer and get ahead in life. Four weeks of recovery now, and I'm able to walk easily and I'm grateful for this narrow escape.

Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionWait time
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.

Consulted Dr. Vishwanath S (Medical Oncologist) for Multiple Myeloma
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
My Dad has Multiple Myeloma. We are extremely fortunate to have him be treated by Dr. vishwanath (recommended by a specialist in MD Anderson, Houston) who has done his fellowship in Myeloma from MD. Anderson (one of the top hospitals in US). I do read a lot and have plenty of questions which Dr. Vishwanath answers very patiently. Most doctors in India would perhaps have been unhappy with my questions -- but not the good doctor. He serves as an excellent "quarterback" co-ordinating with various other doctors (Cardiologists, ENT, pulmonologists, neurologists etc). We cannot wish for a better doctor than him and i regard it as a blessing to have this young doctor treat my dad. (I am not exaggerating when i say this). He is up to date with the latest advances in Myeloma and will discuss with you about latest research - should interest the folks who have tons of questions after reading stuff on google (like me) :-). BTW, for folks with Multiple Myeloma, you need to see a doctor who has a fellowship in Myeloma (This is what is recommended through out the world). I could not find any other doctor with similar qualifications in Bangalore when I looked. I have experience with various doctors in US and regard him extremely highly for his attention to detail, patient care, etc, etc...In summary, I really cannot recommend a better doctor than Dr. Vishwanath for Myeloma patients in Bangalore. I and our family are in his debt for all the care he has provided to my dad and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart that we can never ever repay his debt.
