Manipal Hospital Varthur Road (formerly Columbia Asia Hospital)

Started Consulting Dr Namita Kapoor after 34 week of pregnancy due to bad experience from previous doctor. After a long search and reading lot of reviews we got some confidence to meet and discuss our next course of action. Since day one we got good confidence on her and with every visit this confidence level increased and we decided to proceed for rest of the process with Dr. Namita Kapoor (with a regret why we didn't choose her since start).

We liked the suggestions and the process she follows for whole consulting process to keep it as Natural as possible. And even when other doctors starts scaring with few natural minor complications like in our case for 1 loop round the neck and other doctors were scaring and forcing us to plan early delivery (cesarean post 32 week or 36 week max) because of this which was not necessary.

Dr. Namita checked all the previous scans and reports and said because of this there is no need to plan early delivery. we can still wait till last day (with monitoring baby movements at home) and still Normal delivery can be tried. In case baby do not come down and heartbeat fluctuates while trying then on last day last option will be caesarean otherwise most of the cases Normal delivery is possible. We were convinced with the way she told at least she is still trying for normal delivery and there can be chance we can have baby delivered without caesarean.

On the Day of delivery. She tried her level best to get baby delivered normally but we can see that every time its tried the baby heartbeat was fluctuating. So considering 2 complications (loop around the neck and baby poop in womb) and heartbeat fluctuation while trying for normal delivery we have to go for emergency caesarean delivery or it will be risk to the baby that we can understand.

Our satisfaction was like Doctor tried her level best for normal delivery that was enough for us to still keep on continuing with Dr. Namita for any of our future need. She is great doctor and this kind of attitude and skills are rare nowadays. I highly recommend Dr Namita to anyone who is really concerned about Normal and Natural process and avoid unnecessary intervention. She has great history of Normal delivery even in some complicated cases with great knowledge and skills.

Special thanks to Dr. Namita Kapoor for all the support and taking care of what is needed. I would like to thanks Columbia Asia Hospital too for the seamless process and good arrangements made during the process. And last but not the least thanks to the hospital staff for full support at any time round the clock.

I visited Dr.Naveen Chandra for my 76 year old mother on Dec 2019 when she had difficulty walking even a few steps. She was 100kgs and there was edema in both legs. The doctor did an Echo and diagnosed severe PASP along with other age related heart problems and immediately put her on higher dose of diuretics. He did not rush us into admission. Although we were a new patient, the doctor was reachable on phone for clarification and on whatsapp thereafter to keep a close tab on blood work to adjust dosages. Today, my mother has shed all that excess fluid and is on a steady dose of medicines. Her quality of life has improved, thanks to Dr.Naveen Chandra.

I very strongly recommend Dr Naveen Chandra. His calming demenaour immediately put my mother at ease. He genuinely listened to everything that my mother had to say and did not belittle any of her complaints. While the doctor kept it real to me and my brother about my mother’s condition, that she cannot take in surgical interventions, he did not give up on her. He reassured my mother that she will get better with medicines.

My mother had twice been hospitalized in a prominent hospital and all I remember is doctors would often go ‘she has too many problems’, and a sympathetic hollow gaze. We felt very helpless. Contrast this to meeting Dr. Naveen who was reassuring with the patient, realistic with us and spot-on with the treatment as the results show.

Hats off to such compassionate and equally competent doctors in these times.

We visited Dr. Vijaya Meenakshi Maam for the first time for the pregnancy check up. Our fist visit became the best visit as we were pretty impressed by the friendliness and professionalism maam had. She did understand our condition and did listen to our whole lot of stories and various complications, and other issues with our previous miscarriages.

After 2 miscarriages previously and other issues with my wife's uterus we had lost a hope of having a child, but after meeting Meenakshi maam her expertise, calmness and her way of handling things gave us a lot of confidence and trust which gave us a positive vibe of being parents.

Meenakshi maam is very knowledgeable and the technique or methods she uses in her treatment are mindblowing and remarkable. The success stories what we experienced and heard about Maam are to a great extent and appreciable

Today we are proud to be parents of a baby boy and the only reason for this is because of Maam, she is one of the best doctor whom we have ever seen through our entire life. Her dedication, support and knowledge has brought a success and praises which cant be explained.

Maam did take a personal care of us and she was available to us 24/7 which no other doctors would do. She has also helped us to overcome all the consequences throughout our entire pregnancy journey.

Words fall short to us and cant be explained. the support, affection, care, treatment which we got from Maam are never forgetable. We will always be thankful to Maam from bottom of our heart. I proudly with raised head say it was the best decision we made to consult Maam for our pregnancy journey and i would always ask or request people to consult maam for any pregnacy or fertility related issues and you will see a postive change, happiness and joy in ur life.

Once again thank you maam for what all you have done to us and our family. We will always be thankful to you and u will remain in our hearts forever.

May you have lots and lots of success and happiness in your life as well as carrer.

Best wishes

We would like to express our Gratitude and are Highly Thankful to have met Dr Usha Mallinath . our child was in a critical situation and upon visiting two hospitals in Kolar we were told that child is critical and would need a specialist Pediatric Neurologist care . We immediately got our son to Manipal Hospital . Our child was not in his senses , disoriented and had significant headache . He was admitted at Pediatric Intensive care under Dr Usha Mallinath. All relevant investigations were done and treatment was started soon . we were regularly updated about reports , clinical condition of child and treatment .

Dr Usha is such a wonderful Doctor . She is so professional and practical . She used to examine the child completely daily and make changes as needed. we were updated daily on child progress and treatment plan . Our child started recognizing us in 2 days and soon headache resolved and all other problems too. Unfortunately he had severe Brain infection .She made a diagnosis in 2 days and all appropriate medications were commenced on timely basis . No tests were done without informing us and she would explain to us the need for test and possible side effects too. She is very clear and transparent in her explanation . She gives clear picture of problem .Overall Excellent care provided by the doctor .

She is so good with kids , our child started talking to her next day and would express what he is going through . She is an inspiration and Role model for Kids .
