Manipal Hospitals Yeshwanthpur

#longreviewalertI was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriotic cyst in my left ovary along with adenomyosis in the uterus about 3 years ago. Started off with medication that didn’t help at all. I had severe Dysmenorrhea and would take 5-6 pain killers per menstrual cycle. I tried to get pregnant but that didn’t happen too. My symptoms grew worse. It started affecting my daily quality of life. For the next 1 year I kept running from doctor to doctor trying to get a solution to my problem and plan a way for me to get pregnant. After running from pillar to post and after 1 failed laparoscopy surgery by another doctor (owing to the fact that my case was very complicated) I had almost reached a dead end, just then through sheer luck I was referred to Dr. Shafalika SB. I was all the way in abroad back then. That first telephonic call with her changed my very life. Given the fact that I had met so many doctors by then, I had never come across a doctor like her ever before. The way she spoke to me over the call, calmed me down like a mother would and empathized and acknowledged the suffering that I was going through was enough to take half of my anxiety away. The confidence that she spoke with, clearly explained me all the details and the steps ahead; She had a clear plan of treatment for me. Whilst I was abroad, whatever doubts I had she would patiently reply to them over whatsapp (despite having such a hectic schedule). She is an incredible person besides being a highly experienced doctor!The surgery was scheduled in April. I had too many apprehensions in my mind due to a failed laparoscopy surgery that I had undergone a few months ago (in abroad). After meeting Dr. Shafalika in person, she clearly took me through the entire condition once again, clearly explained the steps of the procedure and told me the possible outcomes of the procedure. My surgery was extremely complicated one as I had a frozen pelvis (the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel, rectum were all plastered to the uterus, the adenomyosis had spread to the entire uterus, the uterus had reached 20 weeks size). It was going to be a challenge and highly risky to separate the organs from one another and then remove the cysts. I was well informed about everything. With a doctor with such a foresight and confidence, I took the leap of faith. Inside the OT, as soon as I saw her, my anxiety disappeared. She held my hand, smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m there with you. I’ll try my best”. And with that I drifted into a sweet sleep.They say prayers have immense strength in them. 4 hours later, Dr. Shafalika came out victorious, smiling and in content with the success of the surgery. She was literally god sent! What seemed highly risky and complicated in the beginning was a success now. Dr. Shafalika was able to successfully remove the endometriotic cyst along with the adenomyosis despite the various complications. Having such experience and expertise, you can close your eyes and trust her. Here I am, writing this review because I want every woman out there like me to be able to get help. I shall forever be indebted to her.Dr. Shafalika SB is a gem of a person, highly experienced gynecologist and laparoscopic surgeon specializing in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery and one of the best doctors that I have ever come across. I would highly recommend her to everyone.

Dr.Shafalika is a "gem".She is emphathetic, caring,kind in her words and most importantly best laproscopic surgeon for any gynecological issues.Which is really a rare combination.Dr.Shafalika ma'am was referred by my friend,who's surgery was done by ma'am.I read each and every reviews here and each one gave me confidence and i decided Dr.Shafalika will be the one i will get my surgery done from.From the day I met ma'am,till the surgery and recovery, everything went on so smooth.I reached out to her with multiple fibroids in my uterus.Ma'am respected my decision of keeping the uterus and removing only fibroids.She removed 14 fibroids and kept my uterus safe and sound.She kept on checking on me during my recovery in the hospital inspite of her busy schedule.She even came to hospital on sunday.when i asked her" Maam do you even come to hospital on Sunday"? Her reply was like "I may have many patients Rajeshwari,but for my patients,i am the only doctor"so i do come .She builds trust in patients first,which is very important in any surgery.On the day of surgery,i was full of confidence knowing i am in safe hands.I was put to sleep,my fibroids were removed like magic,and i was able to walk and get discharged by next day.Within next 4-5 days i was able to be on my own.For any one who wants to undergo surgery,don't delay,trust ma'am with your eyes closed.She will never break ur trust.She is an angel afterall :) thank you ma'am for everything from the bottom of my heart and wish you a good health and long life so that many like me get the treatment from you.

It's a late post though.. I had been consulting Dr Jyothi fdurimg my pregnancy, it's Ivf dcda twin pregnancy. She was friendly enough from day 1 . Mine was high risk pregnancy with endometriosis so I had got all extra care and support from the Doctor all the time. Our monthly scans were smooth and everythin went well for 7 months. My water level was high and was put on rest in 7 month, I was also informed by Doctor if going innearly labour anytym after 33 weeks. We went for my scan and everythin looked fine and came home the next day I got pain and was rushed to hospital in the early mrg 4. In 10 mins Dr Jyothi was there to see me . This is her dedication and the most important thing was one of her hand was fractured, she didn't give up on her patients even then.. as I mentioned it was high risk pregnancy and I wasn't due still .. It was my week 34 and Doctor Jyothi tried everything to support me and controlling my pain levels i was given steroids for withstanding pregnancy but my body gave up andmy bp was shooting up and sodium level imbalance and endo cyst broke inside complications were increasing .. the whole day I was under observation trying to postpone the delivery but once Doctor saw my reports she came running to me in the midnight with her fractured hand and informed us that I needed to deliver at the earliest. It was 11 pm in the night.. whole night Doctor was with me monitoring my CTG and repeated scans to check baby s health .. she slept on a strecher that night outside the OT I don't know which doctor would do this for her patients.. her level of dedication is somethin i havent seen anywre.. early morning I was taken for emergency c sec and I delivered healthy twins babies . She was there through each sec of my battle in this.

Strongly recommend Dr Jyothi.

To anyone who is reading this review and in case anyone plans to consult this doctor, I would strongly urge that you reconsider your decision. I consulted Dr. Jyothi Shenoy for my wife when we were expecting our second baby.

I went to the Dr.Shafalika for my mother's diagnosis and surgery. We were bit scared because of the size of growth and we're unsure about it's nature. Doctor gave us confidence and explained whole procedure to us. She gave us time to think and take a decision. My mother doesn't know English or Kannada, but Mrs.Nimisha, doctor's colleague helped with the translation. Both of them are very interactive and friendly people. My mother was very scared before the surgery since many of her friends who underwent the similar surgery took 2-3 months of bed rest to recover. But my mother was able to recover quickly and was on her feet very next day!! Doctor is an expert in minimal invasive surgery and I guess it helped in faster recovery. Dr.Shafalika is like the doctors of past era when it comes to confidence about the procedure and outcome. She doesn't make any diplomatic statements to save herself from any unfavourable outcome.She is like new gen doctors when it comes to interaction with patients. She likes to spend time in explaining the procedure, enquiring about health and all. A rare mix of both qualities. We are extremely thankful to her for making the entire process as peaceful as possible.

My wife was having continuous and worsening pain and we had tried multiple doctors before we were directed to Dr. Shafalika by a colleague, she was able to diagnose and explain the problem well and after trying medicine based treatment for sometime , advised her for a laproscopic surgery , the surgery went well and my wife has 95% relief from the severe pain she was having for months. The doctor is very nice, gentle and we are fully satisfied and glad we could find such a person in Bangalore. highly recommend her as a consultant.

***** ** *** **** ****** **** *** ** ****.. Definitely not exaggerating but I've never seen such a sweet doctor who is very friendly and always with a sweet smile (never seen her smiling as she's in mask but her voice tells she's so smiling), who always try to motivate the patients ..she makes sure to remove the fear in us... She tried to feel my emotions and struggles am in...she helped me to come out of it ... The surgery went really well....she treated me really well.. When doctor's like her are everywhere trust me no one will be in fear for any health issues ....

Very recently I had an opportunity to consult Dr Vidyasagar thro another doctor friend for treating my wife Mythilysrinivasan, 66 years old for her abdominal pain.Dr vidyasagar is a great veteran and fixed the issue in a few minutes of discussion and examination and initiated appropriate and correct treatment. The greatness of Dr vidyasagar lies in his patientl hearing the sufferings of the patient. ..caring with a parental care...comforting and extending his all out personal attention for the complete cure.. throughout the treatment process Kudos to Dr.Vidyasagar !...V.SRINIVASAN ..Assistant General Manager ( Retd) CANARA BANK

I had been operated on by Dr Shafalika for laparoscopic myomectomy. I was really scared thinking about the surgery. When I met her, half of the tension went away. She patiently answered all my doubts and suggested only a few required tests. She is very sweet, calm, friendly and down to earth. She gave me that Midas touch, which a patient needs from the doctor. She is the best doctor that I have ever met. If anyone is looking for minimally invasive surgery *** ** *** **** ****** ** ********** Thanks to Dr Shafalika. More power to you!
