Manipal Hospital, Sarjapur Road

After waiting for almost 1 hr 15 mins , doctor received me and started his inspection. The least I expect from a doctor is to do an impartial thorough checkup where he can park his presumptions at the bay.

Not just he was uninterested *** *** * ****** *** ** ********** *** ***** According to him my pain is caused because of incorrect position of my ulnar nerve but in last 30 years the position of that ‘funny nerve’ has never changed for me. Furthermore it is the same position in the other hand. He wasn’t able to explain why there was an elbow pain on weight bearing, screw tightening action and wrist clenching - which are the basics of examining the entire hand. And after 5 mins of inspection he advised - Surgery! Can you believe it. He didnt give any explanation to the blunt force trauma that I suffered and how it would have resulted in the pain.

By the end of 5 mins of his inspection he was so disinterested that he didnt cater to my other issue of neck pain. His diagnosis was that - it is due to lifestyle and there is nothing that can be done. I would have accepted that diagnosis if he would have been able to explain why this suddenly started only in last few weeks after my accident while the lifestyle has been like that for years.

I am glad that I got myself checked again from another doctor *** ********** ******** *** ********* *** ********* *** ******* ****** *********

Overall - wouldn’t recommend the hospital nor the doctor.

PS - Practo has mentioned the fees to be 500 but they charged me 850

Dr. Mugdha provided exceptional care throughout my hospitalization. From the very beginning, she was extremely proactive, reassuring, and thorough in her approach. What stood out to me was that her decisions were always data-driven and based on clinical findings, investigations, and my response to treatment, rather than assumptions.

She ensured that all the necessary tests and investigations were completed at the right time and carefully evaluated the results before deciding on the next course of treatment. She also took the time to explain the situation, treatment plan, and progress clearly, which gave me a lot of confidence during what was otherwise a stressful period.

What impressed me the most was her commitment to patient care beyond the usual expectations. Even when she was on leave, she continued to keep track of my progress and remained connected with her team regarding my treatment. That level of involvement and ownership was truly reassuring.

Her entire team was also very attentive and responsive. They consistently kept me informed about my reports, treatment, and progress, and I never felt that I was left wondering about what was happening or why a particular decision was being made.

********** ** **************** * ********* **** **** * *** ** **** ****** The combination of Dr. Mugdha's clinical expertise, systematic approach, accessibility, and genuine concern for the patient made a significant difference to my recovery.

I am extremely grateful to Dr. Mugdha and her entire team for their professionalism, compassion, dedication, and patient-centric approach. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Mugdha to anyone looking for a physician who combines strong clinical judgement with genuine care and personal attention.

Thank you, Dr. Mugdha, for taking such good care of me and for giving me the confidence that I was being treated by someone who was carefully watching every aspect of my recovery. *

i recommend the dr for his skill but i wish he’d been more empathetic towards the patients! dr.bharat seemed like a brilliant and talented dr, but he needs to check his attitude and show some patience and empathy towards patients and better try to understand their state of mind when addressing their concerns. i have never met a dr who behaved as arrogant, judgemental and condescending as he behaved with us. this affected my mental state for a good couple of days and i felt disturbed by that nature that i seldom experienced from any dr that i ever visited. i believe he was trying to bring patients for his mental wellbeing doctor colleagues!

our case:

we’ve visited him for a minor procedure to repair a laceration wound for my 3yo. the consultation went good, he suggested a minor procedure under general anaesthesia. we had to take other opinions before deciding, as it was prescribed under GA and we were concerned parents for our 3yo. but we decided to go for it at the end. the procedure went well and our baby came back in good health. all was going well till this point.

post procedure, when i started asking questions, out of no where he started behaving all hostile, judgemental and condescending! he made me feel - “i hope this is not a bad question that i am asking and whether it would offend the dr” - for every question and concern i had! he was avoiding my questions looking at his phone, walking away! i was bewildered by the sudden onset of this angle from him. it felt like an alternative reality!

well healthcare is not my subject, so for anyone experiencing a situation like such for the first time, we might have had some questions that may sound silly to a well experienced dr. but i guess he could’ve chosen an empathetic behaviour instead of making us feel pathetic! we were already worried and concerned for the well-being of our 3yo.

truly i am thankful for having our 3yo treated by dr.bharat, but i wish he’d been more welcoming and less arrogant, judgemental and condescending.

Exceptional Care at Manipal Hospital – Dr. Naveen Kumar LV and Team

My brother recently underwent ligament tear surgery at Manipal Hospital, and we are truly grateful for the outstanding care provided by Dr. Naveen Kumar LV and his remarkable team.

From the very first consultation, Dr. Naveen’s calm and compassionate nature gave us confidence. He explained the procedure patiently and made sure my brother felt reassured at every step. The surgery went exceptionally well, and his recovery has been smooth and positive.

The entire medical team, including the nurses and support staff, were kind, professional, and genuinely caring. Special appreciation goes to Mr. Arjun, who made the insurance process hassle-free and supported us throughout with clarity and cooperation.

We were particularly impressed by the transparency, cleanliness, and the advanced facilities at the hospital. Even the anesthesiologist was so skilled that my brother didn’t even realize when the process began.

This experience has truly restored our faith in the healthcare system. We highly recommend Dr. Naveen Kumar LV and Manipal Hospital to anyone seeking quality treatment delivered with integrity and care.

*** ***** ********** ** *********** *** ** *** **** ******* ** ***** **** ***** ******. My brother in law was treated by him and his group at Columbia Asia on covid related issues. He literally gave him a new life. I'm a pharmacist in the USA and have been in close contact on how he was being treated at Sagar hospitals where he was not only treated horrible but also had to experience life threatening conditions as a result of the treatment he recieved at Sagar (Sagar hospital hasn't followed any basic protocols related to his covid treatment)

Dr. Magesh Balakrishnan (Cardiologist) is my brother in laws life saver who insisted on joining him at Columbia Asia and after which my brother in law was truly saved by all their efforts. He guided us throughout and we are so grateful for all his efforts and guidance!

My family can't thank them enough and forever indebted to these great doctors!

The treatment was to the point and very efficient. Thank you the whole columbia asia doctors!

I am Vidya, 26 years old, and I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. When I first learned about my condition, I was extremely scared and felt like it could be the end of my life. But then I met Dr. Nithin Yashas — an exceptionally brave *** ****** ************* oncologist.

From the very first consultation, he gave me confidence and positive energy. He explains everything clearly and technically, making it easy for us to understand the treatment plan. I underwent 6 months of treatment at Manipal Hospital, Sarjapur Road, including chemotherapy and targeted therapy — all under his guidance. I never felt the need to consult anyone else because I trusted him completely.

Today, I am doing well, and every morning I wake up with gratitude — remembering Dr. Nithin and his incredible care. “Vaidyo Narayana Hari” — truly he is a blessing for patients like me.

The nursing staff here are also very caring and supportive, which made my journey much smoother.

Thank you, Dr. Nithin Yashas and the entire team, for giving me hope and my life back. **

I had a slight chest pain, my ECG showed slight depression but my ECHO and TMT was clear, Doctor ran a fresh ECG and advised me to go ahead for Coronory Angiogram without explaining the procedure and anything abt stent, I leave the doctor and within 2 min, I keep getting calls from Shireen the admission coordinator seeking insurance details.

ABSOLUTELY DISAPPOINTED! I chose to consult him because he is the Head of Neurology at Manipal Hospital, Sarjapur, and I expected that, in this senior role, he would provide experienced, thorough care for migraine issues. I was in the consultation room on time, but waited about 10 minutes while the doctor attended to something else, ******* *** ************** ** *** *****.

During the consultation, there was minimal discussion of migraine history, triggers, or family history, despite our attempts to mention them. ** *** ***** ** *** ***** **** * ********* **** *** *********** ** ** ******** ************ **** ****** ** ******** ******* ******* ********* *** ******* ******* *** ********* *** ********** ******. ********** **** ** *** ************* ** **** *********** *** ************ *********

Patients deserve a neurologist who listens carefully, communicates clearly, and treats them with respect, and that is not what we experienced with Dr.Shiv Kumar

I am writing this review to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Naveen Kumar L.V. for performing a successful total knee replacement surgery on my mother, who has been suffering from serious osteoarthritis for the last 3-4 years. Her knee pain had become so unbearable that she could barely walk. Initially, she was hesitant to undergo surgery due to the fear and skepticism surrounding it. However, after much persuasion, we finally convinced her to see Dr. Naveen Kumar L.V.

Before the surgery, I had consulted with a few knee specialists and orthopedics in Bangalore based on Google and Practo reviews. However, my experience with them was quite disappointing. They seemed more focused on promoting their services rather than advising us on the best course of action. It was only after meeting with Dr. Naveen Kumar L.V. that we felt reassured.

Dr. Naveen Kumar L.V. was very patient and understanding. He listened to our concerns and suggested the best options available for my mother's condition. He did not rush us into making a decision, but instead gave us a week to think it over. He even spoke to my mother personally, explaining the procedure and reassuring her that everything would be alright. His kindness and compassion towards his patients are truly admirable.

The surgery was a success, but the road to recovery was not easy. My mother was in a lot of pain for the first week. However, Dr. Naveen Kumar L.V. made sure to visit her every day and help her with simple exercises. He was very attentive and reassuring, which made all the difference. Two months after the surgery, my mother is now able to walk comfortably without a stick. We are all delighted to see her progress and feel grateful to Dr. Naveen Kumar L.V. for making it possible.

In conclusion, Dr. Naveen Kumar L.V. is not just a brilliant doctor, but also a kind and compassionate human being who deeply cares about his patients. His professionalism, expertise, and kindness have left a lasting impression on me and my family. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable orthopedic surgeon. Thank you, Dr. Naveen Kumar L.V., for everything you have done for my mother and our family. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

I underwent ACL surgery under the expert supervision of Dr. Naveen Sir. I cannot praise him enough for his exceptional skills and the incredible care he provided throughout my treatment. From the very first consultation, Dr. Naveen showed great compassion and professionalism. He assured me that I would be walking with a walker on day 0, and true to his word, I was able to do so. His friendly, humble, and down-to-earth nature put me at ease and gave me the confidence to trust him fully with my orthopedic issue. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Naveen to anyone facing orthopedic problems. ************ ** ** *** **** ********** ****** ** ********** *** I am grateful to have been under his care.💯/💯
