I am a decent good badminton and cricket player. These 2 game was the only thing that keeps me fit and alive.I have consulted Dr Krishna Kumar for my right shoulder dislocation. I had this problem 12 years back and I was worried about the surgery since many people used tell many things about after surgery complication.
In my first visit actually I didn’t had any intention of doing surgery with him I just went for a third consultation. I planned my surgery in my native Mangalore. Since I didn’t do this surgery for long years my native doctor felt me like a little care less guy and he made me little fear about the surgery and he told very strict rules after surgery for physiotherapy.
The moment I met Dr Krishna Kumar in my initial consultation, I felt like this is guy will do my surgery. He gave confidence like anything. He mainly said you will like earlier(Can play badminton and cricket) within 9 months with 200% confidence.
In Bangalore its very difficult to trust a Doctor. 3 way I trusted him blindly.
1. The confidence he gave during my first consultation
2. Stories from the practice page.
3. This is so funny and I got 100% trust. I saw his WhatsApp DP, He has 2 daughters(My assumption). In our village there is a saying, God will give girl child only to good people. This made me to trust him 200%.
My surgery went well and after the surgery he was very supportive during my physiotherapy. He didn’t suggested any physiotherapy consultation. He only showed my few physiotherapy exercises. And I was consulting him timely manner and he was only guiding though my physiotherapy.
Before the surgery I was not doing any gym activity and I was just playing badminton and cricket since only game make my body and mind involved 100%. In gym activity only my body will be there not mind. During my physiotherapy I learned lot about importance of strengthening exercise and now I am much more stronger as before the surgery. I was very particular about the physiotherapy the motive for this was to see myself in badminton court and cricket ground after 9 months.
You will be remembered through out my life and you are one example for Vaidyo Narayano Hari
And I am writing this review after playing badminton in full power after 9 months of surgery. Thank you so much Doctor for making me go to badminton court and cricket ground. This doctor is going to go a long way !!

My wife had acute knee pain . On consulting Dr. Krishna Kumar in HOSMAT Hospital, Magrath Road she was advised to undergo knee joint surgery and replacement and no other medication or treatment would help as previously advised nearly by a dozen doctors who kept on advising separate blood tests, x ray, MRIetc., followed by administering pain killer medication , injection with Physiotheropy , exercise, etc., and this continued for about 2 years. But, Dr. Krishna Kumar categorically said surgery and joint replacement is the only option and not to get misled anymore. I liked that true professional judgment because patients can decide at the earliest point and save their time and money in addition to avoiding prolonged pain. As far as Dr. Krishna Kumar’s accessibility is concerned he responds immediately whether by way of phone calls or messages. With his pleasing and assuring approach patients are at ease. With regard to surgery done by him, I rest assure you guys, it is effective, efficient and highly professional. It’s just over a month of post surgery, my wife is well recovering. I very strongly recommend to use the services of Dr. Krishna Kumar .

I visited the Doctor yesterday as I was not able to sleep due to backpain. I went with a MRI report and he asked me some questions and also asked me to walk in three different formats in front of him. After he advised me to get MRI printouts along-with three x-rays. After examining the Xrays and MRI printout, he explained the causes for my paid and also advised me to get one blood test to give final opinion/advice. After the blood test he explained the gravity of the problem and prescribed medicines. I recommend the doctor as he spends time on examining the reports X-rays, MRI print outs etc., before giving final opinion and/or prescribing further course of action\. My only request to the Doctor is to give extra one or two minutes time to the patients if they have some doubts to clear. Since he did not explain what medicines I should take and what exercises I can do. To this question he said that everything is explained in the printouts. From the printout , I got 50% of the info / clarifications I wanted. I am visiting the Doctor on 4th of July, I hope he would give one or two minutes extra time to clear my doubts. As I said the Doctor is very good in his evaluation of patients, only one suggestion to give a minute or two to clear the docuts.

Happy with: Treatment satisfaction
I got diagnosed with
full thickness tear of my left shoulder supraspinatus muscle through MRI scanning. I could not able to lift my left hand more than 30 degrees and lost all strength of my hand. Finally after consulting with Dr. Vijay Girish I got convinced that I have to go for Arthroscopic operation of my tendon and finally on Sep 3rd 2023 morning around 6.30 AM, Dr. Vijay Girish had conducted the surgery successfully. Post operation, I had to take rest for few weeks and then started my physiotherapy treatment journey under the regular guidance of Dr. Girish Sir. It was the most painful time of my life. I never thought that I can be absolutely normal and can able to perform necessary tasks using my left hand. The progress was incremental. Motivation comes only when you see gradual progress happening.
Now after 1 year I am writing this review. My operation is absolutely successful. I am feeling full of energy and strength while lifting or using my left hand. I got all the movements of my left hand.
I will suggest everyone to never lose your patience and always trust your doctor. By god's grace I got operated by Dr. Vijay Girish.
I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Vijay Girish Sir and other staffs of Hosmat hospital for helping me leading a normal life now.
Visited Dr. N.C Prakash (Spine And Pain Specialist) For Spine SurgerySpinal Fusion
Happy with: Treatment satisfactionExplanation of the health issueValue for moneyWait timeDoctor friendliness
If there was a definition for the Man of few words, it's doctor NC Prakash. He's hardcore. I did my spine fusion surgery with him and Dr Prasad, these guys are a rare breed who do it for the passion.
They encourage and push you to your physical & physiological limit to make you feel better. On the day after operation both doctors visited me and asked me to start walking, they pushed me over and over to push my threshold and I started walking fine within 3 days of the surgery. This is my day 5 and I can take long walks(lasting an hour with minor breaks). This wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for this guy.
He runs a very tight ship at the hospital and it's very evident in there processes and facilities. I felt like I've gone to a millitary hospital, sheets are changed at 6:30am, food is given at 8:30am, bathrooms are cleaned at 9am and this goes on..I have not seen this kind of routine anywhere, not in mallya, manipal, sparsh etc etc..
Hats off to the doctor and his team at hosmat, I'm forever greatful. And I'll say this again, I've seen a lot of doctors, only a few do it for the passion and he is one of them. Kudos to him and the Hosmat team, I've sheer respect for you guys.

I am sharing the story after 1 year of my dad's knee replacement surgery. After 5 days of the surgery, we consulted doctor Krishna Kumar. He listened to all the concerns peacefully and gave his good amount of time .... after 2 months of surgery my dad went back to the hometown and post that when ever there was any concerns Doctor was available to support , suggest the medicines. I must say, He is not only a best doctor but also a very nice person. I am so Grateful for all the help & Support received from Doctor.

I had met Girish Doctor in the year 2012 at Hosmat Hospital.
I had Knee Joint Injury with severe pain, the leg was not operative.
OMG! Within a second he fixed the joint without any pain and I gained the control on my leg. And that movement I felt this doctor is really GOD. Immediately, I expressed my gratitude, "Wow, you are really God sir"
Though he didn't suggest MRI, I convinced him & got tested to be a doubt free.
He recommended Exercise & Physiotherapy finally i'm living normal...
Later I took my wife for spinal pain consultation too.
- Sir, wishing you better health, long life and prosperity.
Thank you..:)

I am very grateful to Dr. Krishna Kumar. I had to undergo ACL reconstruction, absolutely terrified with Surgery. I never thought I would be able to walk normal again. Dr. Krishna gave me the confidence and during surgery he made sure I was alright and he explained the entire procedure to me. He is very friendly and kind.it's just 2 months after Surgery, I'm able to walk normal, climb stairs and do all my chores as before. Thank you Doctor. I would definitely recommend Dr. Krishna Kumar 👍

Hoped for better: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionWait timeValue for money
After waiting for 1 hour I got the opportunity to meet the doctor. Doctor seems not interested to hear the problems. His responses were rude and most of time he was focused on his mobile phone. He suggested Physiotherapy and MRI . We did Physiotherapy but MRI machine in Hosmat hospital was not working so I went to Doctor to say that this is the problem and we will get MRI done outside and come for consultation tomorrow. For this when I asked about revisit for consultation his response was he will be in surgeries from 7am and cannot say any time and we have to wait when he will be free.
I understand doctor is busy but response can be polite. We went to Doctor as we have health problem and we are not asking any favour. ** *** *** ****** *** ******** **** ******* ** ******** ******* *********
