Manipal Hospital Whitefield

Words are short while writing this note to express our humble gratitude to Dr. Manjunath Haridas. It's about a fatal road traffic accident (RTA) of a 27-year-old young man, one of our family members, in Whitefield, Bangalore. His friends have taken him to Emergency of Manipal Hospitals Whitefield (MHW) on accident night. The patient's right side lower abdominal, and pelvic were severely damaged, and the situation was critical.

The following early morning, Dr. Manjunath Haridas received SOS from the hospital and rushed to the operation theater (OT) because there was a requirement for emergency surgery to save the life. Unfortunately, injuries were more critical than estimated from the X-ray, CT & other lab reports.

Dr. Haridas not only assessed the actual damages inside the body but also restructured the badly deformed areas as much as possible and prevented further deterioration in the first and foremost surgery of the patient. He created the opportunity, foundation, and pathway to act on saving the life of a critically injured trauma patient.

Easier said than done. Imagine a surgeon, with no accurate information about the amount of damage inside the body, with no conventional surgery plan, enters into the operation theater, spends hours, and comes out after restraining the out-of-control situation. Such an exceptional attempt needs knowledge beyond the textbooks, experience beyond exposure, and excellence beyond competence. The best example of a surgeon and a professional with the above qualities is Dr. Manjunath Haridas; he identifies problems, figures out the best solutions, plans the treatment well, and, more importantly, executes carefully and smoothly based on the patients' response. Our patient has undergone a series of surgeries by Dr. Haridas during the long course of treatment. A couple of them were on thin ice but performed fair and square. Dr. Haridas can establish a conventional solution to any non-conventional problem.

Also, it is challenging for an emotionally broken family to handle such a traumatic situation. After Bhagwan (the God), next comes a doctor. In addition to all his professional excellence, Dr. Haridas is more than humble, caring, and friendly; he is a person of high integrity, ethics, and values. Human potential is four-dimensional - Body, Mind, Heart, and Spirit. Dr. Manjunath Haridas uses his full potential in all the dimensions for his patient and family.

We wish him a happy, healthy, and long life to serve and save many needy lives.

If you are a patient of Dr. Manjunath Haridas, trust us, and thank God that you are in the best of hands.

Siddhartha and family

Very unhappy/ exhausted mother. I never recommend this Doctor Gururaj Biradar.

I will tell you honestly, ** ** *** *** ** ** ************* Such a ignorance and not responsible at all.

I have consulted him in Manipal hospital Whitefield. Btw he knows my kid and my family from day one of my kid and that is how I blindly trusted him. ** ** **** ******* ****** ***** ******* ** *** **** ***** ** **** ***** *** ******* ****** ** *** ******** **** ** *** ******* *** ******* ********* ** ** *** *** ** *** ******** **** ** *** ***** ** **** ** **** *** **** ** *** ***** **** *** *** **** ** **** ***** ** ****** **** **** *** * **** *** **** *** ****** *** *** ***** ******* **** *********** * ***** ** *** * ****** ** **** *** ***** *** ********* ** ** *** **** *** **** ** **** But dear parents’ carful with your kids and don’t trust blindly anyone and make sure he is giving proper medicines and understand the kid condition and monitor closely. and I always recommend having a friends or family circle doctor seek their advice and support.

I would like to explain the entire incident here.

My kid 4-year-old was not well. Symptoms are life cold fever and cuff, and I also had a blood test done where the CRP % was little Hight this was my issue then soon after I visit Dr Gururaj Biradar, he told we need a admission and need to admit for 4 to 5 days then it will be fine. Then he gave me admission form and he called somebody from emergency department and suggested few blood tests worth of 15k but none of the reports are +ve and the issue what he supposed to check (CRP %) he didn’t perform only. And finally, he started the treatment for pneumonia, *** **** ** *** ***** ******* **** **********

But very next day morning only my kid is not even talking to me and saw that he started swelling mostly on the face and neck region and when I try to feed him forcibly but my kid said, mom I am unable to swallow anything and my neck is paining a lot then I try to touch his neck and observed large swelling around the neck and I immediately called the doctor and trying to explain my problem but no body was listening my words * **** ******** ******* ** **** **** *********** ***** *** doctor is not willing to listen at all and finally someone suggested to do the neck ultrasound but nothing was observed and I was speechless I have no solution and no one willing to looking at my kid but I was finally hoping on god to save my kid . because I lost all hops with this Gururaj. and finally, I was checking with Nurse. The nurse said that doctor suggested to change medicine so after 20 hrs. of the issue report the nurse started with new antibiotics and with that, I observed the swelling reducing ** **** **** *** ****** ** *** ***** ** ***** *** ******* ** ************* ********* ** **** ** *** ***** ******* ********* ****** anyways the treatment continued for only swelling around the next for 4 days nothings else was done. Other wise I didn’t observe any fever in my kid and he was able to eat some food with that I managed to get the discharge and visited the doctor and told anyways whatever happened is happened and I stay in remote place where I cannot come to hospital immediately ad I need your advice incase of any fever/ any reactions after discharge and he said he cannot answer the call but he will be available for messages but after 3 days of discharge I try to message him saying that I see fever during night with my kid but I waiting for 2 days he didn’t response only for multiple messages be careful with this kid of doctors.

I have all the proofs and details with me. * ***** **** ******* *** ***** ******* ******* ** **** ** *** ** ** **** ****** I'm not good at writing part. I would like to explain rater if someone had already faced similar issue.

My Dad Mr. Y.S Bhat (aged 80 years) was suffering from knee pain from the last 7-8 years. Although it started with minimal pain in the initial years, it aggravated to unbearable pain in the last couple of years affecting his mobility in the recent months. Starting from Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Allopathy, etc. he tried almost all the therapies available to get relief from the pain – nothing really worked! Surgery was the last option on his mind - due to the apprehension of surgery, hospitalization, post-surgery recovery/dependency, success rate, fright, age, etc.

When it almost reached an ultimatum, surgery was the only choice. Search began for the **** doctor and hospital with proved track record; finally was referred to Dr. Kumardev Arvind Rajamanya by our cousin Dr. Manjunath Bhat. While the reviews on the net were very encouraging, our first consultation with the Doctor further boosted our optimism, assurance, and trust to proceed with the surgery. His patient hearing (answering to every small question/clarifying doubts), thorough examination, transparent/genuine diagnosis, understandably explaining the medical condition/problem, and the treatment options available to rectify the issue was extremely convincing and there was no looking back. Just with a single meeting, we were won over – and were visualizing the positive side of my Dad getting to normal (all constraints seemed to be of less importance). After all the preliminary tests and procedures, my Dad underwent the left Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery in March 2020 at the Manipal Hospital, Whitefield under the able hands of the Doctor.

Dr. Kumardev kept checking on us at every step pre and post-surgery. His personal attention to every patient, even with his busy schedule from the initial stage is highly commendable/exceptional as it builds a very good rapport and helps the patient to foster trust – which is very important for the success of any procedure and recovery. He explained in detail the surgery procedure and all the care we should take almost every single day.

During our stay in the hospital, the Doctor guided the Hospital staff at every step, took personal care, and monitored all the parameters regularly. My Dad was made to walk with an aide on the second day of the surgery and was discharged from the hospital on the fourth day. Dr. Kumardev’s disciplined approach, extreme expertise in his area, and continuous monitoring/care helped in the speedy recovery of my Dad’s condition. Doctor gave us an elaborate list of Do’s and Don’ts post-surgery and during discharge which helped my father and us to take care of him. It is extremely fulfilling to see my Dad recover so quickly and back to his normal activity almost within about 1.5-2 months of the surgery. With the Corona pandemic, all the post-surgery consultations were handled remotely with minimum visits to the hospital which was extremely convenient, safe, and exhibited the true concern of the Doctor towards the patient.

A big THANKS to the Doctor and all credit goes to him. His friendly, caring, considerate, compassionate, approachable, responsive, down to earth nature, and connect with the patients is something very unique! Overall our experience with Dr. Kumardev and the Manipal Hospital team was extremely good. We would highly recommend Dr. Kumardev amongst all our family and friends.

Dr. Abhay Kumar(Oncology Medical expert) is truly an angel & It's really important to have a doctor who is "there" for patient and makes me confident I'm in good hands. The best part of Dr. Abhay Kumar is his friendly nature talks with my mother, make her happy in all possible way & make my mother so positive to live more and more. Under Dr Abhay Kumar she is really happy and great treatment at the stage-4 cancer. Thank you so so so much for being extremely caring and considerate during this hard time for my mom going through cancer 4th stage. His bedside are so professional and you deserve a standing ovation for answering all of our concerns/questions. He took the time to listen, and hear me out. He is really a blessing to this facility and I would give him triple 5 stars!!!!! God bless Thank you again Dr. Abhay Kumar!!!!

I am writing here this letter of commendation with unfettered total admiration and support of Dr. Abhay Kumar- Oncology Medical(Manipal Hospitals) . After being treatment with advanced prostate cancer, I had my initial meeting with Dr. Abhay Kumar(Oncology medical) and proceeded to my scheduled treatment of chemotherapy and this doctor with profound expertise and integrity, each operating under a collaborative fountainhead of knowledge, care, and genuine simpatico. His support & his staff always providing a positive and friendly daily contact relationship.

From the moment I first walked into Manipal center with some confusions but once I meet with Dr. Abhay Kumar, I was treated with kindness, respect and professional distinction. As I would learn from the many hours I spent in the hospitals of other patients, the level of one’s insurance or specific carrier does not affect the manner in which you are treated by Dr. Abhay Kumar, in fact, the care received and administered is blind to any bureaucratic hindrances. This is a key distinction for any patient, no matter of what socioeconomic origin. Many patients choose to have treatment outside of the India due to the nightmarish pitfalls ingrained in the medical and insurance systems stateside. Manipal Hospital under Dr. Abhay Kumar completely altered my opinion related to medical care here, and I can say I have never seen or experienced such positive and effective cross pollinated practice and treatment under one institutional roof anywhere worldwide.

There is a mystery as to how long any of us will sustain our lives, and I believe the time invested in treatment is a shared benefit derived from the patients(my mother) with whom you are surrounded and the doctors who guide your path to a successful outcome of healing & Dr Abhay Kumar is incredible. Not only has he taken great care of my mother's treatment, but also, he is lovely to speak with at every appointment & complete stay during each chemotherapy and during all visits. It’s rare to find such doctor in Bangalore area that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care & outstanding knowledge in Oncology Medical & he also work with hospital to give you the best concessions and the best cost for chemotherapy.

I am Really very thankful from Heart to Dr. Abhay Kumar and Manipal Hospital for having successfully & painless Chemotherapy of my mother with his excellent practical knowledge, using modern regime for Chemotherapy , highly specialized in Oncology medical. I would definitely recommend him(Dr. Abhay Kumar- Oncology Medical) to all my family, friends & all over the world people. Thank you so much Dr. Abhay Kumar.
