Two months into our marriage, my spouse, who is 29 years old, complained of a headache and haziness in front of his eyes. As I was new to Bangalore, I looked up online for a good neurologist and found Dr. Krishnan's address. He suggested an MRI to eliminate all extreme possibilities. Because my spouse is claustrophobic, we requested him for an alternative, but he insisted on it. And I can't be thankful enough to him for this. Through the MRI, we found out that what we had been dismissing as a migraine, at the most, turned out to be a blood clot in the watershed region of the brain. In short, my spouse had suffered a minor brain stroke. The moment I got to know this, I called up Dr. Krishnan. We fixed an appointment with him, and he patiently explained everything to us. Further, he made sure that we went for the relevant tests to find out the cause behind it, even though he was able to guess that it was B12 deficiency. In the meanwhile, he put my spouse on medicines to gradually dissolve the clot and prevent any recurrence. The test results were able to eliminate many possible causes and indicated that the stroke was probably induced by a B12 deficiency only. He immediately prescribed him B12 injections and asked us to make some lifestyle changes.
A brain stroke is not something that one hears of often, so you can imagine how panicked and scared we were when we found out about it. But we are so lucky that we have had Dr. Krishnan's guidance and expertise with us every step of the way. He has been so patient, friendly and prompt throughout. I can't thank him enough for this.
It has been almost a year since the stroke, and by God's grace, my spouse is doing fine. As is usual after a stroke, he is still on a blood thinner and some preventive medicines, but these don't affect his normal life functioning in any way.
I super-recommend Dr. Krishnan, and hope that my story gives hope to anyone who is reading it. :)
We have been taking treatment from Dr Krishnan for my mother's balance related problems. My mother suddenly started losing balance while walking, feeling diziness in last January. Initial treatment from local doctor in my town didn't help. So we brought her to Bangalore and consulted Dr Krishnan at Fortis hospital. Her condition improved within couple of weeks and she was able to carry out her daily activities as usual.
Unlike few doctors I encountered who burden the patient with several costly tests right at the beginning, Dr Krishnan took a step by step approach for diagnosing the problem. He started with simple doses of medication, kept reviewing the progress on regular basis , ordered additional tests as and when needed and kept changing medication when needed. He is patient enough to answer any queries we may have.
I recommend Dr Krishnan for any balance related problems, parkinsonism.

The clinic is very near and easily accessible and i thought wow and there is very less wait time unlike other doctors. I used to get headache three times a month and that used to be severe after my pregnancy so i came to this doctor for checkup. He suggested some tablets and told migrane and wrote brain MRI. Told us MRI but when we went to the scan center they told spine MRI angiogram for heart. Im not sure why was that required. At least doctor should tell us why he is prescribing the tests and what is the link for the headaches. After showing the scan report didnt even explain took the picture of the scan and was sending it to the diagnostic as he suggested it to gain some money out of it. Now he told there no issue in MRI and go to eye doctor orelse you may loose your vision i asked could you please repeat he said if i repeat 100 times its the same i think thats not the way he. Talk to the patients. Explain the problems to the patients first clearly after going to ophthalmologist may be he will take a picture and gain out out it i guess. ** ** ********* **** ***** ******* ** **** *** **** ******** ***** **** **** Dont do this try to explain the problem to patients out of concern they are going through so much already adj seeking your help

Doctor - PR Krishnan - My mother was suffering from hypertension and since two days she got dizziness while sleeping, nausea, vomiting sensation, left arm was paining. We met this super busy doctor for 10 mins ***** ** ****** *** ******** ************ **** ********* ****** *** asked to do - Blood test and head scan. We came out to check for blood test, nano consultants asked to wait for 15 mins. They called the doctor to check about it as nothing was mentioned on prescription. Also, he was in hurry n left already. He denied for any tests and informed them that everything was fine. Doctors who charge RS 600 for just 10 mins without complete information should be worshipped. **** ******** * ****** If you love your life never visit Nano hospital. **** **** ******* *** ******** ** ******* ******* ******** ****** ** *** **** **** ** ***** ** **** *** ****** ** ****** * ****** ******** ** **** **** *** *** ********** ** ***** **** **** *********

Last few years I had severe cramps in both the legs and loss of sensation in the fingers on right foot besides several other problems and the treatment got from few doctors was unsatisfactory. By chance I met Dr Krishnan in Nano hospital and started taking treatment from him sometime from the year 2018 and since then I am under his treatment for all my ailments . Considering my age (77 years), I would say that most of my problems have been treated to my fullest comfort level and medications were also minimum. Wherever it is necessary, without hesitation he refers the patients to specialists of specific diseases. He is easily available on phone on emergencies and treat you with online consultation if the diseases are explained properly. As a patient I get mental comfort when I approach him for my ailments.

Dr. Krishnan is very patient,supportive and friendly.I have been suffering with fibromyalgia for past 4 years. initially I have consulted so many Orthopedicians and Neurologists but none of them could give definite solution. So I kept searching and then I found about Dr. Krishnan online. On my first visit he suggested blood work to confirm my condition. Since then I'm getting treatment from Dr. Krishnan. He doesn't scare you or prescribe unnecessary tests or medications. He's been very supportive and very patient and listens to all my problems. Because for a patient it is very important to be heard.
Visited the doctor for an involuntary stomach muscle contraction otherwise known as a tic. He is very friendly and patient. Told him all my symptoms. He checked my BP and it showed 132/116 which is high. He prescribed me a tablet to lower my BP. Asked me to get my brain scan done and another test and come back to him. Meanwhile he would analyze if this medication is working. I left and contacted another doctor since my BP was abnormally high. Upon checking, my BP was 120/80 which is a normal range. He was surprised as to how a person can prescribe low BP tablets without checking twice when I don't have a high BP history. Within an hour I went to another place and got my BP checked which also showed normal. If not for a second opinion, I'd have ended up taking meds to lower my BP despite having a normal range.
