Dr. Pradeep Simha K

I, JANAKI RAMA SARMA TANGIRALA, a retired Central Government Officer (Indian Statistical Service), was a victim of COVID PNEUMONIA, have undergone medical treatment as in-patient at Continental Hospital, Gachibowli from 27/06/2020 to 13/07/2020 under the care and guidance of Dr. Pradeep Simha Karur, Interventional Pulmonologist. The follow-up treatment is being continued even after the discharge from the Hospital.

*** ******* ** *** ** *** **** ******* ** **** *** came as a saviour to our family. Last summer, my husband was admitted in continental hospital due to covid, under Dr. Pradeep's care. Every day my husband's situation was deteriorating. After a weeks’ time, he was moved under ventilator support.

My mom was admitted at Continental hospital with COVID. Her saturation was at 60 and she needed to be placed on ventilator. We were in the US and with the dire situation of COVID in India- could not travel to India immediately. Dr. Pradeep was very accommodating with our requests. He used to do whatsapp calls every day providing us health status of my mom. He clearly explained the situation and was transparent with his treatment/ risks associated with the plan. Initially my mom was in Bipap and showed improvement but later deteriorated and needed ventilator. Dr handled the emergency situation with precision and ensured she was given the best care. When we travelled to India, I met him the first day. Dr explained all the reports and the trends in reports. While he was treating the lungs, my mom also had various infections that were presented which complicated the situation. He was proactive in his treatment approach by monitoring all the organs and providing the best treatment. I can assure you that if not for Dr Pradeep my mother would not have survived the 30 days in the hospital. Even during discharge she needed oxygen support at home and he intimated us of the requirements ahead of the time so that we had time to procure them as there was dire shortage of concentrators and oxygen cylinders in May 2021. I had other friends parents go through COVID treatment at other hospitals with other doctors with terrible experiences. We are blessed to have found Dr. Pradeep as my mom's pulmonologist. Even after discharge, Dr has helped us coordinate the appointments and has been treating my mom with utmost care and excellence. My mom has high respect for the doctor since he is patient with her and her questions. He answers every question without any irritation and helps her navigate the treatment seamlessly. He is very kind and I would highly recommend Dr Pradeep as a Pulmonologist. In fact, I told every single person I met since my mom contracted COVID about Dr Pradeep and recommended meeting him for treatment. Thank you doctor for saving my mom and providing continual guidance as she navigates post COVID issues.

I met the Dr when I was in a condition where I couldn't speak also because of my breathlessness. I couldn't walk few steps due to SOB. My family was too worried . But after meeting Dr Pradeep simha, he had immediately diagnosed and carried out only necessary investigation. The treatment that is given to me has shown wonders that today none believes that I was so sick. It is five months now. I owe my life to his treatment because else we lost hope. Thanks so very much Dr garu. I'm seeing a new life today.
