Experienced neurosurgeons that one can blindly visit and get treated for their neurological problems.
He treated my dad in SLG hospital -Nizampet (75 years old -memory loss and unable to walk due to excess water in the brain)with utmost care and attention and we as a family are grateful and indebted for his time and consultation towards my dad's memory loss problem .
He spent more time that anyone else could in terms of explaining the medical problem to the entire family with utmost patience and also walked us thru the treatment plan. This entire process of consultation and explanation and remediation by him made us all family members more comfortable to proceed with his suggested procedures. My dad has been operated with his golden hands and he is on his path to recovery now, he is able to recognize and improve his memory immediately after the surgery.
Not to mention that Dr. P. Ranganadham despite his busy schedule was always available for us for any emergency consultations or suggestions.
Words can tell only a bit about his generous
Strongly recommend him for any neuro related consultations or treatments.
Once again, we are greatly thankful to him as a family.
Thank you Dr. P. Ranganadham gaaru 🙏
Best Regards,

Visited For VP Shunt
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessTreatment satisfactionValue for money
I took my father to Sunshine Hospital ER as he was unable to move had some memory issues and was not able to hold his urination. ER Doctor suggested the MRI and Dr. Vikram Sharma identified that it's a iNP Hydrocephalus in a very short time (which saved us crucial time) and suggested the VP shunt surgery for his brain and recommended Dr. Ranganadham. Doctor Ranaganadham is a very experienced neurosurgeon who attended to my father's case very promptly. Dr. Ranganadham has a lot of compassion, knowledge, and is a professional who truly cares for patients with dignity. He explained everything very clearly. He did a complete assessment of my father's case and concluded that it is better to go with LP shunt to avoid any major cardiac issues. He performed the neurosurgery with utmost care and with the best technologies and tools available and it made my father's surgery minimally invasive. The surgery was well organized among all the specialists and my father is doing good now. Most of his symptoms are resolved and now slowly recovering from his ability to walk.
All Doctors and nurses at sunshine are polite and try to deal with the patient and their attenders with as much patience, and try to give enough time to each patient. Thank you so much for all the compassion and care. Overall the hospital is a good destination for all your neuro problems. I would highly recommend the doctors and the hospital.

One of the unprofessional doctor i have seen in my life. Doesn't have any respect towards patience. After waiting 2hrs for doctor he says i need some break, i do understand doctors need some break and all.. but doest mean he can take a break anytime even patients waiting for him. He is really unprofessional and doesn't have any value for patients.

We visited for treatment of Subdural hematoma on both sides of the brain for my father. *** ********* *** **** ********* *** thanks for the doctor who saved our father. Doctor has vast experience and understands the problem very well!
The only concern is wait time to meet the doctor even with prior appointment which is more than 2 hours or even more, so it always better to check with his team through a call before visiting!

Made several patients wait for 2-3hrs despite having appointment
Seemed reckless in explaining the reasons of the issue even after getting all the expensive tests suggested by him.
Asked us to consult other doctor without giving his suggestions properly

We are not at all happy. We have wasted almost Rs20000 but still nothing changed. This doctor is not all friendly. First he has to learn how to talk with patients. I will never ever suggest any of my relatives or friends to this doctor. When we told him that still we are having pain, for that he replied you can go to other hospital. Which doctor will reply like this. When I was asking some more questions he asked me to shut my mouth. If I didn't do that he said he will send me out. Very very bad experience with him.
