Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
In April 2022, I experienced normal flu symptoms and a cough. Initially, I believed it was just a regular flu due to the changing seasons, so I decided to visit a nearby clinic. The doctor there recommended some medicines, but unfortunately, they didn't provide any relief. Concerned about my health, I made the decision to move to city in search of better treatment.\n\nUpon reaching the new city, I consulted various doctors who suggested numerous tests during each visit, Additionally, they prescribed several medications despite my insistence that I only had a common flu. To my surprise, one doctor informed me that I had asthma. This revelation was shocking, considering I had never smoked or been exposed to any drugs in my life. I grew up in an area with clean air and surrounded by forests, so it seemed implausible. I struggled to maintain focus, and the dry cough persisted despite taking the prescribed medications.\n\nThroughout eight months of futile visits to the doctor, each time I was presented with a different explanation. Frustrated and losing hope, I eventually quit my job due to the toll it took on my mental health. It was at this point that a friend from Bangalore suggested Dr. Vasunethra Kasargod to me. Initially, I hesitated, fearing it would be another financial burden. However, my friend assured me that Dr. Kasargod was an exceptional doctor, and it was worth giving it a try.\n\nTaking my friend's advice to heart, I booked my tickets to Bangalore and arranged a meeting with Dr. Kasargod at Manipal Hospital. To my surprise, on the first visit, he recommended that I stop taking all the previous medications and prescribed a new set of medications worth only cost Rs 30\/=. He diagnosed me with hyperventilation, stating that I was 100% fit and did not have asthma. Though skeptical, I followed his treatment plan, and to my amazement, I experienced a 80% improvement in my condition.\n\nI am immensely grateful to Dr. Kasargod for his expertise and guidance, which has significantly improved my health. I am truly thankful to him for giving me hope and a chance to regain my well-being.\

Inspite of advanced age, previous heart surgeries and other co-morbidities, my mother aged 81 years (1 stenting) and my father in law aged 79 years (3 stents) successfully underwent very complex Angioplasty surgeries in May 2025. This clearly showcases Dr. Sunil's expertise in performing angiograms and angioplasty which is very impressive, to say the least.

Dr. Sunil's diagnostic skills are equally impressive. He possess a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of complex cardiac conditions, which enables him to provide accurate and timely diagnoses. His treatment plans are always well-informed, compassionate, and tailored to each patient's unique needs.

We cannot thank Dr. Geeth Monappa enough for the incredible role she played in our journey to parenthood. Dealing with PCOD presented us with many uncertainties and challenges when we were trying to conceive, but from our very first consultation, Dr. Geeth provided the clarity and medical expertise we needed.
We had the opportunity to consult with her at both Sparsh Hospital (Infantry Road) and Manipal Hospital (Millers Road). At every stage, her approach was a perfect blend of high-level professionalism and genuine empathy. She didn't just treat the condition; she took the time to explain the process, manage our expectations, and provide a personalized treatment plan that ultimately led to a successful pregnancy.
Throughout the pregnancy and the eventual delivery, her care was meticulous. She was always approachable, answering our many questions with patience and ensuring we felt safe and supported. Thanks to her guidance and the excellent facilities at both hospitals, we are now home with our healthy baby.
For any couple navigating the complexities of PCOD or looking for a dependable, highly skilled obstetrician in Bangalore, we wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Geetha Monappa. She is a doctor who truly cares about her patients' success stories
Visited Dr. Chandan Juneja (General Surgeon) For Pilonadel Sinus
Happy with: Explanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
We visited Dr.Chandan Juneja for pilonidal sinus surgery. He explained us the cause, current condition and treatment. We took a week time to decide on date and finally got operated.
He is a great professional with through knowledge of what is he dealing with.
I suggest him for any one suffering with these kind of issues which would require surgery.
However, billing team of Manipal hospital, Millers Road Bangalore is pathetic.
They charge for everything which is not given to patient . Specially 5th floor billing , floor supervisor and sisters are pathetic.
Apart from these issues, cleaning staff is too good. They strive hard to keep everything clean all the time.
Food canteen is good. They provide service at room for attendees as well. Yes, seems bit expensive but taste is good.
Overall
Doctors:9/10
Cleaning staff: 10/10
Canteen: 9/10
Helping Hands/ sisters : 6/10 - 5th floor
Security:9/10
Billing and insurance team- 1st floor- 2/10
Billing and insurance team-5th floor- 1/10
need to look into these floor staff- Very pathetic, frustrating.
Visited Dr. Chirag Thonse (Orthopedic surgeon) For Knee Surgery
Hoped for better: Wait timeValue for moneyTreatment satisfactionExplanation of the health issue
We had a very bad experience with this doctor. We choose this doctor because of a lot of positive reviews.
My mother's right knee was displaced and her leg wasn't straight she used to hobble but she did not experience any pain.
The doctor suggested knee replacement surgery and we went ahead with it as he assured us that
this is a common operation and within a couple of weeks, my mother could walk normally.
He didn't caution us at all about any potential failures *** ******* ******* ***** *** **** *********** ****** *** *** **** *** ****** Even after 4 months my mother's leg still isn't straight
and she still hobbles. The bad part is that she experiences slight pain when she walks but at night the pain
becomes so unbearable that she has to take a pain killer.
The doctor tried to place plaster twice (one week each) post surgery but the moment the plasters are removed
the leg goes back to the same position. ***** ****** ******* ** *** ******** ** ** *** **** ** ********** The bad part is he also placed the
blame on my mother once stating that the patient is not co-operating and the problem is in her mental
state and asked us to get counseling.
There is no sympathy from the doctor's side.**** ********* *** ************** **** ** **** **** * **** ****** ** *** *** ** ******** ********* **** **** ****
At present we are consulting another doctor and we are seeing improvements.
Although the leg still isn't straight at least the pain has reduced a lot and there is no need to take painkillers.
We really regret getting this surgery done. We would never recommend this doctor to anyone.
