Happy with: Doctor friendlinessValue for moneyExplanation of the health issue
One of my wife’s friends recommended Dr. Venkatesh, so I consulted him and scheduled an angioplasty. I was extremely satisfied with the care and treatment I received, and I underwent the procedure in 2019. Dr. Venkatesh is very kind by nature and provided complete support throughout the process. Since then, I have been visiting him regularly for my annual check-ups.
Thank you Dr. Venkatash

Visited Dr. Gurucharan S Shetty (Interventional Radiologist)
Interventional Radiology is a field most patients have never encountered, and one that deserves far greater visibility. When my wife was diagnosed with uterine fibroids, we went through the standard rounds — multiple gynaecologists, each of whom recommended either a myomectomy or a total hysterectomy. What struck us was not just the uniformity of the recommendation, but the resistance some of them showed toward even discussing minimally invasive alternatives. It felt less like a clinical assessment and more like a fixed menu. We had done our own research and encountered uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) as a non-surgical option. That prior knowledge is what led us to Dr. Gurucharan Shetty, then practising at Shankara Hospital. And it turned out to be one of the most consequential decisions of her healthcare journey. Dr. Gurucharan's philosophy is preservation over removal. He is thorough in his assessment, patient in his explanations, and genuinely open to discussion. He gave us his direct number and remained available throughout — before the procedure, during recovery, and after. That kind of access and attentiveness is extremely rare. The procedure — UFE, is performed by threading a catheter through a small incision, locating the blood supply to the fibroids, and blocking it causing the fibroids to shrink. It is image-guided, minimally invasive, and preserves the uterus entirely. In the right case, it is a far better option than open or laparoscopic surgery. The outcome — Nearly two years later, my wife is completely symptom-free. No surgical complications, no prolonged recovery, no loss of uterine function. The procedure achieved exactly what it set out to do. Dr. Gurucharan is currently at Sparsh Hospital. If you are facing a fibroid diagnosis, we strongly recommend at minimum a consultation with him before committing to any surgical path.
Visited Dr. Pallavi Patri (Nephrologist/Renal Specialist)
We have been taking treatment for kidney condition from Dr. Pallavi Patri for the last 3–4 years, and our experience has been excellent throughout. She is highly professional, practical, and transparent in her approach.What we appreciate most is that she always keeps us informed about every possible situation and clearly explains the recommended steps and treatment options. Unlike many other doctors who immediately suggested a kidney biopsy, Dr. Pallavi Patri honestly explained that even after a biopsy, getting a conclusive diagnosis might still be doubtful and that the procedure itself could potentially harm the kidney. Her openness and patient-first approach gave us a lot of confidence and trust in her treatment.Highly recommended her for kidney issues.

Visited Dr. Naveen Kumar (Plastic Reconstruction Surgeon)
Happy with: Treatment satisfactionValue for moneyExplanation of the health issueDoctor friendliness
I came to doctor Naveen with breathing issues and he just looked at my nose and told me to get c CT scan because he suspected a deviated septum which was kind of a surprise to me as visibly my nose was straight. I got the result and it was exactly as he suspected. Then he suggested we go for complete septorhinoplasty as it would provide functional improvement. After I underwent 7 hours of surgery, I was a bit sceptical as how my nose would look. After the initial cast removal, my nose was still swollen but I could clearly see the results. Now I am 1 month post OP and as I heal more, I see the results more clearly. I am very happy that I underwent this procedure with Dr. Naveen as choosing the right surgeon really matters.
