* **** **** ******** ** ** ******* ** *** ******** ***** *** * After a particular surgery i have been discharged on 8th day based on standard POD procedure like Oral acceptance/ no constipation/ no fever. However due to a major post operative infection that has been found out by one of the Senior Dr in surgical department, when I visited for 3rd day review after my discharge from the hospital. Now let me comeback to Dr Dheeraj department - with a request letter from surgical department for Ultrasound, he tested and said this can’t be determined by Echo and called his assistant Jagdeesh to prepare for CT scan.
Jagdeesh prepared me with water consumption procedure and told us that CT will be done in 4 hrs time.
Very supportive- arranged a temporary bed for resting. He often visited and was checking the status. Then the time came for CT scan and that’s been done- results were forwarded to surgical department. Afterwards surgical team asked to perform a procedure.
Dr Dheeraj by the time went for a meeting and many assisting staff in CT left.
After he returned back he didn’t hesitate to stay back and he performed the procedure along with his assistant Jagdeesh. Such a good and cooperative personality is Dr Dheeraj and his assistant Jagdeesh!
He informed me that some liquid accumulated- now a bag is attached for bringing the liquid out and asked me to keep sending the photos of the liquid accumulation to take further steps.
Through the photos and based on the culture report surgical team asked me to take admission as IP.
After joining they started the IV for that particular bacteria.
Dr Dheeraj visited and checked me, though now the treatment is done by surgical team, Good is it not ?
5 days then they found that the situation was getting under control and discharged me again.
This particular process has taken over the original surgery and I even forgotten what for I went to that hospital initially. Now I’m completely attached to Dr Dheeraj and he/ his assistant were following up about the improvement.
Then the procedure of withdrawal of the tube and bag started- every alternative days 1 cm the tube pulled out - this procedure involves removing of old stitches, local anaesthesia, pulling the tube, fresh stitches. This procedure performed every alternative days. They used to take extreme care and extended all possible support- supportive words, patting me and telling “nothing to worry you will become alright”
Few things I should highlight- one day there was a heavy rush and many cases were going on, our turn was getting delayed, at least 5 to 6 times Dr Dheeraj and his assistant Jagdeesh used to visit us and keep saying “ sorry too many cases kindly bear with us” a very gentle and down to earth behaviour I could say!!
Another incident was after a particular day’s tube pull out we came back home and next day morning a small puss like leak we found and next day went and met Dr Dheeraj, by seeing that he asked me to go immediately to CT room and said “am coming in few minutes..” so positive is it not ??
He came, tested through CT and removed the dressing, and then said we almost pulled the tube, now that tube is touching the muscle and this puss is from the top skin layer and then he suggested that it’s better to remove everything and asked my concurrence, I said that I have 100% faith on him and requested to proceed.
That day was a big relief.
In this entire one month or so procedure- His team gave ultimate support that includes taking care of changing my dress, assisting on my every movement. Not like a medical team but I felt like I have friends standing all along with me in the whole procedure. They stood by me, patted me , explaining each and everything, very supportive, made me to feel like I’m surrounded by my family. What else one can expect more than this ?
Thanks dear Dr Dheeraj- God bless you.
Thanks dear Jagdeesh- God bless you.

My mom had a fall and femur bone fracture in March 2022. She has having osteoporosis and so her bone health was not in good shape. Sha had a fall while walking in the campus where we stay. Looking at her condition we were worried that the fracture is of very bad type.
Anyways we called the ambulance and took her to the hospital.
The nearest hospital was Manipal Whitefield (Near ITPL/ Opp Prestige Shantiniketan Mall)) and we were there in emergency in under 20 minutes. There the doctors immediately took her inside and after scans confirmed the fracture. Now it was a complicated one as she was 72 years old and her bone health was bad as well. The emergency doctor directed us to Dr Kumardev Arvind Rajamanya in OPD whom I met with the scan report and he explained the surgery process and how he is going to treat her. One thing I have to add here is that mom's accident was on a weekend and on Sundays you have very few doctors who attend to surgeries. Anyways given my mom's condition Dr Kumardev took decision to do the surgery on Sunday itself and got her moved to inpatient from emergency. Surgery was long - almost 6 hours, and it was successful. Post surgery mom had to go through a elaborate physiotherapy plan. Very happy to state that after 6 months of surgery and rehab my mom was able to walk independently. It took time given her state but throughout this journey Dr Kumardev and his team has been extremely supportive and helped me through all queries. The doctor even shared his contact details and allowed me to reach out to him for immediate queries. Who does this in today's world?
Overall I am thankful to God that I took the decision to take my mom to Manipal Whitefield and luckily met Dr Kumardev. Thankfully my mom is back on her feet and is totally independent like she was before.

In case health issues , even if we don't know where to go is also ok, but we should know where we should not go!!
Visited Dr Kumardev Arvind Rajamanya on 6th March 2022 for knee replacement surgery for 73 years old person. Both knees surgery is done with single admit. He is reachable over mobile messages, and himself suggest/explain how to keep clean with sanitizer, then after couple of minutes minuets he will double check the attendant whether following or not :) . ex: touch the patient after rubbing the hands with sanitizer.
His follow-up with patient is excellent until recovery along with physiotherapy. until unless its required He will not suggest/ask to come to meet him.
some one can visit Dr Kumardev Arvind Rajamanya blindly for replacement surgery without any 2nd thought.
Note: after visiting this doctor don't visit any other doctor for 2nd opinion (as i did, wasted consultation money with other) . until unless experience we will not come to know, but this is what happened in case of my mother-in-law surgery.
Now relief after surgery is excellent . VISIT THIS DCOTOR TO SAVE TIME, MONEY AND TO GET GOOD HEATHY LIFE AFTER SURGERY.

I cannot praise Dr. Kumardev enough for the exceptional care he provided to my 6-year-old son during his treatment for a supracondylar fracture of the right hand elbow. He is an outstanding orthopaedic surgeon who not only possesses remarkable expertise but also exhibits immense compassion and dedication towards his young patients.
From the moment we met him, Dr. Kumardev made us feel at ease. He took the time to thoroughly explain the injury, the treatment options, and the potential outcomes, ensuring we fully understood the situation and helped alleviate any anxiety he had about the procedure.
The surgical procedure performed by Dr. Kumardev was executed flawlessly, resulting in an optimal outcome. Post-surgery, he continued to closely monitor my son's progress and conducted regular follow-up appointments to ensure his recovery was on track.
Thanks to Dr. Kumardev’s expertise and compassionate care, my son's recovery has been remarkable. His elbow has regained full functionality, and he is back to School( as per the the condition it was not looking possible to return within 4-5 months). We are forever grateful for the impact Dr. Kumardev has had on our son's life.
I highly recommend Dr. Kumardev to everyone who needs an orthopaedic surgeon for their child or any other family members.

Dr. Kumar Dev is really kind, great and outstanding Orthopedic Doctor. He has amazing skills, will carefully evaluate and advise you all the possible options. My sister Nita Jindal had issues with left/right knee and she used to bend while walking. My brother and my bother in law are Doctors, my BIL used to show her in Varanasi and all Doctors advised for knee replacement. I advised them to show her to Dr. Kumar Dev once in Bangalore, post her visit to Doctor and after careful evaluation Doctor advised to get hip xray done as she was bending from 1 side. In xray it came that left hip was totally screwed. Post multiple meetings finally we went ahead with Dr. Kumar Dev for hip replacement and it was amazing decesion. He will guide you at each and every step ( both pre and post procedure). Doctor will make sure you are totally comfortable, give you best advise and assist you at each step with all care and details. Post 2 month we went again for right knee replacement and it was also successful. Recently post 4 months we went for followup and now my sister is all good, able to walk all straight. Thanks to Dr. Kumar Dev for all the help and support during 7 months long journey.

I was recommended to Dr Kumardev via a friend who had a positive experience previously, I needed to get my 70 year old Mother's assessment done as she had been in pain for a decade now, earlier we were recommended a knee replacement for a childhood injury, but when we met Dr Kumardev, he analysed and confirmed it was the hip replacement needed. He was very patient in explaining the entire process and the impact. During further investigations it was identified that the surgery will not be straightforward as due to years of damage and one limb shorter than other, due to which the regular adult implant could not be fitted, so Dr planned ahead and ordered the one which could fit with required modifications. He had to use the custom set up for the implant and was proactive in ensuring right measurement are done, the surgery went well and my Mother was on the way to recovery in the next 2 months. She followed this with 4 months of physio and m glad to say she's feeling better than ever, a lady who could not walk for more than 10 mins without feeling extra pain is now working out 30 mins a day, is going for regular swimming. I have full faith in Dr Arvind and how he handled this complex case.

I have consulted Dr. Kumardev Arvind Rajamanya in Manipal Hospital, Whitefield for my 11 year old son Rohan
for a very bad left forearm fracture in November 2019.
My son slipped and fell from some height while playing and had deformity, swelling and pain on the left hand.
Radiology investigations reported angulated displaced fracture both bone of distal 1/3 left forearm.
We were very worried and the doctor explained in very detail about the severity of the issue and recommended
surgical procedure(ORIF with K-WIRES of both bones lefarm + A/E Slab application of left forearm) explaining about the risks associated with that.
Dr Kumardev performed the surgery very well and there were no complications.
My son had lots of questions in each visit and he was taken into confidence by the doctor by clearing all his doubts and concerns.
He enlightened him about the importance of phyisotherapy and the care needed during the recovery period to avoid refracture which helped him to recover very well.
Now he is completely recovered and his left arm is normal as it was before.
We are very much thankful to Dr. Kumardev for his excellent service and support.
He is very caring, approachable and down to earth in nature which helped my son a lot in the recovery process.
I highly recommend Dr. Kumardev for any one who is looking for Orthopaedic consultation.

This was about a year back, my father started complaining of severe chest pain while walking. Someone from our apartment had suggested Dr Naveen Chandra, so we went to consult him. He suggested for angiogram and after the angiogram he explained to us the situation of my father. My father had major blockages in all the arteries and only option was bypass with endarterectomy. With extreme patience and empathy he addressed our concerns and explained risks involved. We couldn't decide immediately to go for surgery because of all the risks. My father had to go through lot of other health complications due to this. Finally we went for bypass surgery a couple of months back and my father is doing fine now. Throughout the struggle Dr Naveen Chandra stood with us, he would respond to the messages and calls and suggest right medications and always was there to guide us and help us. He is a very competent and empathetic doctor. Really thank him for all the support he had given us medically and for the guidance.
Visited Dr. Dheeraj Shyam (Interventional Radiologist) For Vascular Embolisation
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
My daughter is having vascular malformation on her face for which I have consulted many doctors since birth but no resolution was given. I found out about Dr.Dheeraj Shyam from the internet and thought to give a try. I was really amazed by the way Dr.Dheeraj treated my daughter, even my daughter who is 5.5 years old was very comfortable and very co-operative towards the doctor. Since it is a very complicated case, He explained me all the details and procedures that needs to be done . At very first appointment itself I decided that I came to the right person and I can trust this doctor. He treated us like family and by the way he talked to me gave me confidence to proceed further. I should really appreciate Jagadeesh who is the doctor's assistant as well who did a thorough follow up on each and every step and made sure every procedure go smooth. My daughter has undergone angiogram and Dr. Dheeraj successfully traced out the mother artery and performed the embolization to the root of the malformation which really helped in a follow up surgery. I am really thankful to Dr. Dheeraj and special thanks to Assistant Jagadeesh. I recommend Dr Dheeraj with full confidence. Now my daughter says Dr. Dheeraj Shyam is her favorite doctor and Jagadeesh is her favorite uncle!!
