Sunshine Hospitals

I was facing severe pain with swollen glands on the left leg at top thigh portion for more than three days before visiting Dr. DattaRam on 23 May 2020.

23 May 2020 - On the 1st visit, doctor has checked my condition and he has written to get an Ultra-Sound scan (paid Rs.1440) to identify the issue and the problem I was facing is called as "Swollen Lymph Nodes in Groin" in medical terminology. After looking at the scan report, doctor mentioned nothing to worry, such issues will be mostly gone by using antibiotics for about 7-10 days and has prescribed medicines to use and get back for another visit after 4 days.

26 May 2020 - By the 2nd visit, I still have the pain. Hence, doctor advised to get a CBP (complete blood picture - paid Rs.330) along with another Ultra-Sound scan (free of cost) through another radiologist. There were no scan reports given this time as both doctors have spoken with each other over phone and in-person. Later Dr. DattaRam has mentioned there is some puss way deep inside and suggested to get it removed by a small surgical cut through a surgery. As I was not mentally prepared, I asked him 2 days’ time, so he asked me to continue the medicines.

28 May 2020 - By the 3rd visit, I was feeling better than the initial visit and the swollen/reddishness has gone down a bit as well. When I asked the lobby staff for the doctor visit, they asked me to pay the OP which was a bit surprise as the first time paid consultation amount of Rs.850 is valid till 1 June 2020 which clearly shows on the receipt. After mentioning that to the staff, I visited Dr. DattaRam and this time I have noticed doctor being a bit unfriendliness which was not there in the previous 2 visits which bothered me, but I remained silent. On further checking the issue, we started discussing about the what/when/how of the Surgery and when asked about how much it costs, doctor has given a rough range of twenty to twenty five thousand rupees Rs.20,000-Rs.25,000 and spoke with their hospital team who handles the cases with insurance policy and asked us to meet the staff in the ground floor. Upon visiting them, they asked how much my insurance amount limit is along with insurance provider details. After giving those details, they quoted me an approximate amount of Rs.60,000, sixty thousand rupees and it was a totally stunned moment for me. They further said, I need to bear additional amount for the surgical material used in the operation theatre, dressing for a week, medicines etc.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the exceptional orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Suhas Masilamani Garu. He recently performed a Total Knee Replacement Surgery (TKR) on my right leg, utilizing state-of-the-art Robotic Assisted Technology. In all sincerity, this testimonial is neither solicited nor coerced; it's a genuine effort to assist those seeking the right surgeon for their total knee replacement. If you're interested in learning more about his outstanding qualities, please take a moment to read the review in its entirety. Otherwise, I'll encapsulate his essence in a single sentence:

"If you are contemplating a surgeon for your TKR surgery, I, with unwavering confidence, will recommend Dr. Suhas Masilamani Garu, not only for his surgical expertise obtained from performing literally thousands of surgeries, but also for the compassionate care he shows toward his patients."

Dr. Suhas Masilamani Garu has conducted thousands of orthopaedic surgeries, both conventional and robotic-assisted, refining his skills to extraordinary and remarkable levels. Surgeons with such extensive experience often risk becoming arrogant and distant from their patients, spending little time addressing their concerns. However, as a pleasant surprise and a "breath of fresh air", Dr. Suhas Garu stands out. Despite his demanding workload, he maintains a kind demeanour and takes the time to answer questions and explain procedures in great detail to his patients.

One of his greatest qualities is that, regardless of his patients' age or status, he treats everyone with utmost respect, addressing them as "Sir" and fostering a sense of attachment and familial connection.

I am extremely sceptical when choosing a surgeon and the type of surgery. I have conducted thorough research by reading online reviews and speaking to people who have undergone surgeries performed by him. Needless to say, he is highly qualified and stays updated with the latest technology. He ****** *** ********* ********* ******* presentations on innovative surgical techniques acquired from performing numerous surgeries.

I spoke to several individuals, including orthopaedic residents and nursing staff, whom he mentored and taught, all of whom attest to his exceptional skill and compassionate nature. They affirm that encountering such a combination of exceptional talent and kindness is indeed a rarity.

His team comprises of exceptional individuals, particularly Dr. Suhas Garu’s personal assistant, Mr. Joshua, who is on track to become a doctor (Ph.D.). He is remarkably attentive to patients, meticulously overseeing every detail, informing me of every step in a timely manner, and ensuring smooth operations, which made my experience much easier.

Now, regarding my surgery: I was partially awake due to sedation, drifting in and out of consciousness. Dr. Suhas Garu kept me informed throughout the procedure, explaining each step in detail, including approximate time frames for completion. He even went a step further, asking the nursing staff to move the monitor beside me briefly, allowing me to glimpse at what he was doing. In my humble opinion, it is rare to come across a surgeon who communicates the progress of the surgery to their patients, and I humbly bow down to him for doing so. While it's typically the physiotherapist's role to assist in post-surgery mobility, Dr. Suhas Garu personally took my hand and guided me through those crucial first steps—an experience I will cherish for the rest of my life.

In summary, without hesitation, I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Suhas Masilamani Garu for TKR surgery, whether conventional or robotic-assisted. God bless.

Dr. Dattaram has performed hemorrhoids surgery for my husband. He has been the best possible surgeon for us. Apart from having vast knowledge in his field, he is also having an open ear. He is patient enough to listen to patient's problems in depth. He would never interrupt or show hurry. He makes you very comfortable. He he very friendly with his patients. He doesn't suggest unnecessary medications or treatments. His approach is always towards patients good only.

Before the surgery, he met us several times. Explained us the problem that we were having. Also with that, he proposed us best solution. He never forced any procedure but let us decide. He is having magical hands which was evident in the way he performed this surgery. Post surgery he took nice care of us. Post surgery there was no complications at all and recovery time was much faster than expected. We never felt any fear of treatment just because of Dr. Dattaram treating us like his own family and friends.

If one can have full faith on his/her doctor, treatment becomes very smooth and result is also positive. We would definitely recommend Dr. Dattaram to all those who are having any Gastric related problems.
