I would like to share my thoughts and frustration with this hospital
***** ** *** **** **** * ******** ******** **** ** * ********* ***** ***** ******* ** ******* ** * ***** *** *** **** *** ****** ******* *** **** ** ******* **** ****** For example you enter the hospital there is a registration fee, surprisingly parking is charged @30 inr/hr, ***** ******* **** ******* ** **** *** **** ********* ******** ***** *** ************** They have no value for the patients *** ****** *** ******* **********
I have three experiences to share with this hospital. First was 6 years back when my baby was delivered as initially I agreed with them 60k package and finally my bill was 1.8 lakes and when I asked the reason for this huge difference they said it's due to the fact that my baby was delivered on weekend *** **** ******* * **** ** ********* ********* ***** I did not have any other option
Second incident was my father in law went for a checkup and they said he has tumors in brain and he needs to get operated, we took second opinion *** ***** *** ********
Third time was this week I took my mother for gastro problem and by mistake I took appointment with a Gastro sergion Dr Govind, they charged me 1150 for consultation and this doctor was in hurry and he did not even did any physical examination and left. During the process I realised that we should have gone to a gastrologist and when I asked to change the appointment as we did not get any prescription they are asking me to pay the fee again. As a customer I feel helpless and thought so sharing my thoughts with you
Guys before you go to this hospital be careful ** **** **** **** *** ** *** *** ***** *** * *** **** ** *** **** ***** *** ******* **** **** ** ******* ** ***** ** ******* ** **** ***** *** ******** *** *** *** ***** ** *** ***** *** * ********
Visited Dr. Shafalika.S.B (Gynecologist) For Hysterectomy (Abdominal/Vaginal)
Happy with:Â Treatment satisfactionExplanation of the health issueDoctor friendliness
I met Dr Shafalika in 2016 when i had an unfortunate miscarriage. She cared for me, took of me and understood my gynic issues better than any other doctor i had visited for the last 9 years before her.
I struggled with endometriosis, adenomyosis and scarred tissue (i had two procedures by the time I met doctor).
She tried her best to counsel, coach, understand, empathize, treat me.
I moved to Australia in 2018 and every time i came back to Bangalore i went to her for my health checkup.
This time as things were not looking great i was suggested with hysterectomy, she took care of me like a family member and i have never been so comfortable post my previous procedures. Dr. shafalika has done an absolutely wonderful job of cleaning the whole thing properly so i don't have any future issues.
My husband and family members are ever grateful for giving me this new healthy life.
The surgery was very complicated but she stood her ground and did everything that was good for me.
I thank her and all the hospital staff for taking care of me, this includes the customer service team (Aisha and team), the team involved in my surgery, Dr Dayanand the radiologist who has been studying my case for years now, the nurses who assisted with pre operation tests and the staff who took care of me operation - please note i would be ever grateful for the rest of my life.
I will highly recommend Dr. Shafalika like i have done previously.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, i can't express myself how much you have done for me
Visited Dr. Santosh Shivaswamy (ENT/ Otorhinolaryngologist) For Sinus / Sinusitis Treatment
Very poor experience with Dr. Santosh.
1. Wait time of more than 45 minutes because he decided to go on rounds even though he had several appointments at the same time. Complete disrespect and disregard for patients schedule and time. Did not bother to apologize
** ******** ********** Spent just 2 minutes evaluating my complaint. Prescribed * **** ** medicines, half of which are questionable (including 2 different painkillers every night). ***** ** ******* ******** ******* *** ****** **************
3. No diagnosis or explanation of medicines offered. After spending 800 rupees, and waiting 45 min, least I expected was a decent diagnosis. But no, he seems to be in a hurry to get done and shows signs of arrogance if any questions are asked. He responds with 1 word answers ** ****** *** ********* ****** ********* ***** *** ***** ***** *** ******* **** ** ***** ** *** ****** Patients are far more aware and need clarity on diagnosis and prescription. None was offered in this case.

Happy with:Â Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
This is a long overdue review of Dr. Vijaya Sherbet. She delivered my son in the month of feb 2020.
The first time i had met her was when i consulted her for my pregnancy in 2019 which unfortunately resulted in a miscarriage. But she was so positive and practical through that experience that i knew that if i was to get pregnant again she would be my doctor. A year later when i was pregnant i went back to her and i am so happy i did. She is someone i would recommend a hundred percent to any pregnant mom. *** ** ****** ************* *** *** ********* ** **** **** *** keeping up information and standards across the world. She is not someone who will mollycoddle you but at the same time she is so patient and non judgemental. She will answer all your questions with a lot of patience and practicality. Even through my delivery when things got tough i felt safe and calm because of her. She is someone i would close my eyes and go back to every single time.
I hope Dr Sherbet gets to read this because we are thankful for the entire pregnancy and delivery experience we went through because of her.
Thank you! Regards Smita & Rahul
Visited Dr. T. Manohar (General Surgeon) For Prostate Laser Surgery
Note:Â This doctor is no longer practicing at Manipal Hospital
The Doctor is outstanding. I am 71 years old and had visited the doctor as my serum creatinine levels were rising and my diabetologist suggested I consult a urologist. My family recommended Dr. Manohar very strongly . The doctor initially put me on medication and monitored my urine retention and creatinine levels . After a few months of medications , when the urine retention and creatinine did not go down, the doctor suggested surgical intervention and recommended HOLEP surgery for my prostate after a discussion of the alternatives. Being a chronic diabetic and my age, I readily agreed. The surgery went of very well and a year after surgery, my life is completely back to normal. There were several meetings to monitor recovery including one last week , one year after surgery.
I am grateful to *** **** doctor who is world class, and the very capable Columbia Asia hospital support staff. Having lived and worked in the US for over 20 years, and having dealt with numerous specialists/oncologists at world renowned medical hospitals, I am very glad with the decision I made.
Visited Dr. Shafalika.S.B (Gynecologist) For Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Happy with:Â Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
I recently had a minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery to remove fibroids in my uterus, and I couldn't be more grateful for the exceptional care and attention that Dr. Shafalika provided throughout the entire process. From the moment I walked into her office, she made me feel comfortable and at ease. Her calm demeanor and compassionate nature instantly put me at ease and I knew I was in good hands.
Doctor took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure and what to expect, which made me feel prepared and confident going into the surgery. She was extremely patient and answered all of my questions with great detail, leaving no stone unturned.
Dr. Shafalika is incredibly skilled with the laparoscopic technique to remove the fibroids with minimal incisions. The procedure was successful and I experienced very minimal postoperative discomfort, which was a huge relief.
Throughout the recovery process, she was there to support me every step of the way. She provided me with comprehensive post-op advice and checked in on me to ensure that everything was going smoothly. Her kindness and compassion truly went above and beyond.
I would highly recommend Dr. Shafalika to anyone in need of gynecological care. Her expertise, professionalism, and compassion make her an exceptional doctor, and I feel so lucky to have had her as my surgeon. Thank you, Dr. Shafalika for everything you have done for me!
Visited Dr. D J Navinchand (Orthopedic surgeon)
Happy to share my second experience with Dr. Navinchand and Manipal Hospital Hebbal. Followed by my mother in law's Total Knee Replacement surgery last year on her left knee,she underwent Total Knee Replacement surgery on her right knee this year in the month of August 2023. This time also it was an equally nice experience. Thanks to Dr. Navinchand for his great support right from planning the admission, till surgery and discharge of my mother in law. This is very important particularly for patients and their family members who have to travel from outside Bangalore and country to get the surgery done. Cashless approval from insurance, pre-surgery check-ups and tests, surgery, post surgery supervision and finally discharge followed by dressing change and stitch removal everything went very smoothly. This time my mother recovered even faster than last time, from post surgery pain and immobility. Thanks to doctor Navinchand once again. I definitely recommend Dr. Navinchand to others not only for a fine treatment and surgery but also to have a nice overall personal experience.
Visited Dr. Kiran Chowka (Orthopedic surgeon) For Orthopedics
Hoped for better:Â Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
When I went to visit the doctor, he was busy with a surgery and I met his junior, which I am ok with. The junior doctor asked me to take some blood reports and send it to Dr. Kiran for further analysis. I did that and even after repeated WhatsApp msgs, he just refuses to reply to any of them after sending him my reports. I can see a blue tick which means he read it and ignored it. After paying the consultation fees and seeing some junior doctor, least he could do was to atleast reply to msgs. Feel completely che ated . Never going back to him for sure.

My wife Radhika Bhat and I consulted Dr. Mukta Nadig during the early stages of pregnancy and being our first child we were glad to have found such a comforting and experienced doctor. She was very calm with us educated us well about the various stages of pregnancy and saw us out till the baby was delivered. She prescribed the necessary supplements and honored our wish to have a normal delivery and guided us throughout the journey. Not to forget the delivery was amid COVID-19 and she kept us calm and advised throughout. My wife and I will always be grateful to her experience and services. Thank you ma’am.

*** ***** ** *** **** ************ *** **** **** **** ******* She helped us through the child birth journey, right from conception to delivery and post delivery care. All thanks to her, I had a COMPLETELY HASSLE FREE pregnancy and gave birth to healthy twin boys. To me Dr. Mukta was a Godsend and I will never be able to thank her enough.She is one doctor who understands all your problems without even saying, possibly due to her immense experience. She connects with her patients at a personal level and makes sure nothing goes wrong. She was always available on call and WhatsApp, whenever I needed her.
Apart from being an excellent doctor, she is a fabulous human being. We can never forget her smile & pleasant demeanor and we miss her. Love you ma'am..
