Visited Dr. Ganesh Veerabhadraiah (Neurosurgeon)
I was suffering from spine and knee pain from last 5 years . I visited Apollo Hospital and Manipal hospital and consulted number do Doctor's for my pain. Apollo hospital suggested MRI and I took MRI frames and report to them but they suggested that I had an extra spine and gave some medicine. Infact I lost my eye sight for because of the medicine. The doctor at Apollo or Manipal were unable to identify the root cause of my spine and knee pain. They gave only pain killers which were ineffective in getting rid of the pain. Then I visited Allivate hospital and doctor there suggested costly injections. Which I took over a period of 6 months. Pain stopped for 3 months and then the same pain returned. Upon further consultation with the doctor their they suggested that they cannot guarantee the pain will not return and I need to continuously keep taking the injections every few months.
I was very depressed , when last option i went to cunnigham hospital and met with Dr.Ganesh Veerabhadriah. He saw my old MRI report and immediately identified the there was problem in L4 and L5 and directed me to get a MRI redone so as to ascertain the extent of damage in the spine .
After I brought the latest MRI report the confirmed slip disk and Lumber Spine issue. He suggested I'd the pain is intolerable then go for surgery or else it can be cured through medication .
Since the pain was intolerable and over a long period of time I requested for surgery. Doctor obliged and I underwent a L4 L5 micro .discectomy
After the surgery the pain was completely gone , I did have surgery pain for 3 days but constant pain in spine and knee was completely gone
I am forever grateful to the god first and dr.Ganesh next for diagnosing the injury and then curing it. For 5 years i suffered and only Dr. Ganesh was able to cure my disease and give me relief from the spine pain.
I highly recommend Dr.Ganesh name for any patient suffering from constant spine and knee disorders.
Visited Dr. Vivek Jawali (Cardiothoracic Surgeon) For Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery(CABG)
Happy with: Treatment satisfactionExplanation of the health issueValue for moneyDoctor friendliness
Dr VJ is an angel for us in human form. We visited him for CABG for my father after getting an angiogram done at a different hospital. It was a very complicated case as there were multiple blocks upto 95% on the left side of the heart and with other comorbidities. He looked through the history patiently, diagnosis was narrated in detail -the current condition and state of health of heart , treatment plan established and its impact & prognosis.
He was totally sure of the surgery being a success and gave us the hope we really needed to hang in there. His expertise & perfection has resulted in good recovery and return to normalcy for my father.
Some might feel he is very brief/curt and not friendly in follow up visits post the initial discussion, as he is a man of few words, doesn't like being interrupted while he is talking and likes a certain decorum in his room. That's just an aspect of his personality and probably helps him focus on action more than words. But be rest assured that you are with the BEST and he will do all he can to help his patients.
We will be ever grateful to Dr VJ & his team.
Visited Dr. Shakir Tabrez (General Surgeon) For Urinary Tract / Bladder Stones Treatment
Note: This doctor is no longer practicing at Fortis Hospital
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issue
I suffered from severe pain in the left lower abdomen with intense pain radiating to the back. I consulted Dr. Shakir who after a preliminary examination diagnosed it as a stone either in the kidney or ureter. I was advised to undergo a CT scan which confirmed his diagnosis. Dr.Shakir is very articulate , patient, and a wonderful Doctor to interact with.
The tragedy is that the Radiologist at Fortis made a blunder, an unpardonable error in not indicating the size of the stone in the left kidney and ureter. Dr.Shakir on a review of the CT scan film arrived at the size of the stone. Speaks very poorly on the competence of the reporting radiologist.

I took an appointment to visit MR. Jawli regarding DVR surgery planned in next week for my mother.he was very impatient, and never answered a single question. for surgery he asked me to stop acitrom. then I tried to explain him that she had stroke 8 months back, when acitrom was stopped based on suggestion by other doctor. he said "follow what I say", "don't ask me all these non sense". he asked to me standup and the moment I stood, he shouted at me to leave his room .it all took less than 3 minutes after my 2 hours long waiting. as a patient, ones would require enough information before going through a surgery. especially when it is complicated surgery such as open Heart, valve replacement etc. ** *** **** ** **** **** ******* *** ***** **** ******* **** * ****** ***** ** ****** ******* * **** ******* ******* ***** ******* ****** ********* *** ******* ******* *** ** **** *** **** ** *** ******** I will be moving to different doctor/hospital.

Dr Ramesh is excellent very smiley very friendly and very humble and diagnosed my problem extremely very well in just few mins at the first appointment itself.... I went to the doctor for pain in left hand and chest and most importantly my BP check.... doctor did physical check throughly, then he massaged my left hand, my neck and checked my nerves too.. after his massage my pain vanished instantly... very magical touch.... secondly the major problem was that I had been diagnosed with BP for the first time by other local doctor and his medicine was not correct to my body... dr ramesh gave me good advice and then changed the med and gave proper guidelines. he is gem of a person and the best doctor ... I highly recommend him . thank you🙏 Dr for your great work to humanity.

I had frequent knee dislocation problems before and I also experienced doctors wrongly diagnosing my case. But the moment I consulted Dr. Raghu, I knew I was in right hands. He was extremely calm, professional and made the right judgement for my case. I underwent MPFL surgery- ligament reconstruction surgery and the doctor did the surgery perfectly and also the rehabilitation plan which included his team of physiotherapists went perfectly well and I recovered very quickly. His entire team - Meenu, Nithya etc were very professional and helpful. I am very grateful towards Dr. Raghu. I would definitely recommend him to other patients.
Visited Dr. Gopi Aniyathodiyil (Cardiologist)
Dr Gopi was highly recommended by a friend when my Dad had a heart attack, I am so thankful to have gone with the recommendation. Words fall short to describe his expertise in the field and skills/patience to handle senior citizens. All our questions and concerns were addressed in a way we understand. I will just say, have no second thoughts and stay calm and let Dr Gopi and his team take care of everything. My dad eventually went through a successful CABG under his care. Special mention to his team member and assistant Sunitha Ma'am who is very kind, understanding and top notch at what she does.
