Dr Vidyadhar insisted on having an MRI of the full spine done before he would comment. After seeing the MRI reports he diagnosed him with myelomalacia, created a sense of urgency & insisted us to get him admitted on that day itself, for spinal laminectomy and fusion surgery. He explained the surgery would happen the next day, and my father in law would be discharged the day after, after making him walk. ** ******** ** * ** **** ** ********* ******* ********** ***** * ** ****** ** ********* *********** After consulting multiple doctors each of whom had advised surgery, we got him admitted in Manipal under Dr. Vidyadhar after a week, and was operated on the next day. After surgery when asked how my father in law was doing Dr said the surgery went fine and told us to ask the PAC team as his job was done. He showed a pic of the xray of his neck with a screw as proof of his successful surgery.My father in law was shifted to ventilation after being kept on post op for about 5 hrs during which his CO2 levels became 65 whereas for a normal healthy person it's around 35. He was slowly recovering in ICU and after 3 days he was shifted to HDU as in his condition all his vitals had to be monitored. On the next day he had to be ventilated again as now his Co2 shot up to 107 with all the monitoring. The doctors didn't feel the need to monitor CO2 even though the 1st time he was ventilated for Co2 retention itself. Dr Akhil and other doctors of the spine team had visited HDU but they had overlooked his deteriorating condition. We repeatedly informed the doctors about him ******** ********* but the doctors dismissed those stating they are post icu delirium and is normal. Only after the family intervened and took initiatives, they shifted him to ICU and provided ventilation.All this while Dr Vidyadhar and his team of spineless doctors acted irresponsibly and kept on insisting that their part was done* ******* ************** *** *** **** *** ** *** *** ***** ** **** ** ********* * ***** ***** ** ********* ** * **** ********** **** When asked about the CSF leak from the surgery site, the team kept on giving inconclusive answers.They displayed alarming indifference to our concerns, dismissing them and failing to provide adequate care. ** ******* * * ********** ***** ********** **** *** *** ******** ** **** ** *** *** ********* ***** ** *** ** * ****** ******* ********** ********** *** ** *********** *************My father in law fought for 13 days on ventilation.

Based on lot of research and multiple suggestions from different people, I decided to consult Dr. Vidyadhara S (HOD Spine Department - Manipal Hospital) for my mother Renu Anand's spine problem as she was suffering from Leg pain & numbness since last few years due to her spine issue. While consultation he patiently examined deeply, listened to her problem and gave us the much needed confidence and advise to undergo a spine surgery L3/L4 and L5/L6 fusion/decompression. Because of his level of knowledge, confidence and expertise we did not give a second thought and decided to go ahead for the surgery. Her surgery happened last week on 18th Aug 2022 and I am happy to say that she started walking on the evening of her surgery date itself and as today its her 5th day post surgery she is improving everyday. Dr. Vidyadhara is a true gem and a Big Thanks to him for being so much more than I ever would have thought I could find in a senior doctor. Shoutout for a great team of doctors headed by Dr. Vidyadhara especially Dr. Bala, Dr. Ashish and Dr. Prabhakar for their guidance and support starting from the first day itself till today. I have never came across such a wonderful and a professional team of doctors who tirelessly work 24×7 for the service of their patients. Thanks to Dr. Vidyadhara and entire spine team of Manipal for the tremendous skill in performing my mom's surgery. Your talent and caring manner is a credit to the medical profession. You guys are truly a lifesaver... Thank you, again !!!

I am writing this review after 12 weeks of my son’s right shoulder surgery [arthroscopic bankart repair].

I came to know about Dr. Sushal Shanta Kumar through our long trusted and renowned pediatrician doctor.

Based on this advice, I consulted Dr. Sushal to understand the treatment process for the injury sustained by my son.

He patiently heard the case, physically examined my son and forthwith identified the problem causing discomfort to my Son. This was corroborated by the MRI Scan report as well.

Dr. Sushal after careful examination of all reports and physical examination of my son suggested us to go for bankart surgery for repair of the shoulder. He drew the parts of the shoulder and explained in detail the root cause of the issue causing discomfort to my Son’s right shoulder. He as well showed a video which had complete details that helped us understand, the root cause of the discomfort and the treatment process for repair of the injury, in a more practical way. These treatment qualities and skills are the true traits of a real experienced expert doctor.

The surgery was done in Manipal Hospital by Dr. Sushal and his team.

We were in the hospital for two nights and were discharged on the third day.

In the post-surgery consulting visits, he checked upon the recovery progress and taught some exercises as well.

My Son is currently in physiotherapy sessions and is on the road towards complete recovery.

A big thanks to Dr. Sushal Shanta Kumar for supporting us through out with all his expert skills and a very good attitude. He was always there whenever we needed his support.

He is a wonderful orthopedic who is always helpful, compassionate & lovely to speak with, at every appointment.

We are extremely happy to have come to know about Dr. Sushal who in my personal opinion is arguably the best shoulder orthopedic expert doctor in Bengaluru.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Sushal Shanta Kumar to anyone requiring a shoulder or any orthopedic injury treatment.

I would like to first of all thank doctor Baliga and his team for the tremendous work that they do , day in and day out.Over the last few years I have visited doctors in Tata memorial Mumbai, tata memorial varanasi, Fortis Bangalore, Apollo Lucknow Apollo Bangalore and in all those hospital visits I have been rarely impressed as much as I am with  the clarity and confidence of doctor Baliga.My father had a oral surgery for cancer 3 years back in Tata memorial and I met doctor Baliga through Dr Srinivas kandula( who also is a gem of doctor) for complications with respect to remaining teeth.My father had a very limited mouth opening due to surgery and radiation , where barely a spoon could only go through.He had tooth decay and to extract this tooth  I could not find any doctor even ready to attempt this extraction.few doctors suggested general anaesthesia few suggested another surgery on the healthy side of face to make space for tooth extraction.But it was only doctor Baliga with his 48 years of experience who was ready to do it under local anaesthesia and with minimum surgical cuts .There are negative reviews regarding his time allocation and minimal explanation that he gives but you need to understand that All the  review are from attendents who are frustrated more from the desease and less from the doctor and I understand that even I was at time frustrated.but you have to realise he is 72 years old doctor who is performing at highest efficiency and at times operating in excess of 50 patients everyday,taking cases which no one else will take.I just want to thank him and his team from the bottom of my heart.
