Manipal Hospital Whitefield

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.

I am writing this review to share our disappointing *** *********** experience with Dr. Gururaj Biradar at Manipal Whitefield. My 9-year-old son was suffering from a severe and continuous dry cough, and our encounter with Dr. Biradar was nothing short of disastrous.

We initially consulted several pediatricians and later a pulmonologist at Manipal Whitefield due to the emergency nature of my son's condition. He was admitted to the hospital for 4 days, during which Dr. Biradar prescribed steroids to suppress the cough. However, this temporary solution only masked the symptoms; every time my son stopped taking the steroids, the cough would return as before.

After discharge, Dr. Biradar prescribed medication for 3 days, but my son's cough resumed immediately after completing the course. We were ****** ** return to the emergency department at Manipal Whitefield multiple times. Each time, Dr. Biradar's response was to prescribe more steroids—first for another week and then for 21 days with a moderate dose. Despite these repeated treatments, my son's cough persisted.

****** *** **************** * ********* *** ******* ** **** ******** **** ** *** *********** *** ** *** ****** ********* ** *** ********* **** *** ******* ** ******* ***** ************ **** **** ** ************* *** ******** ** *********** ************ *** *********

After spending approximately three weeks under Dr. Biradar's care without any improvement, we decided to stop consulting with him and sought help from an ENT doctor instead. My son was admitted for 5 days under the new doctor's care and finally received ********* treatment.***** ********** **** *** ******* *** *** **** *********** *** **** *******. ** *** ******** ************* **** ******** **** ******* ** ********* ******* **** ************* * ************ **** ** ************* ****** ** ****** ***** **** ********

What struck me as particularly concerning was Dr. Biradar's approach during both OPD and IP consultations. Despite there being no other patients waiting, he would spend minimal time with us and seemed uninterested in listening to our concerns. During in-patient visits, he would often leave the room within a minute without addressing our issues thoroughly.

While it is true that Dr. Biradar has a pleasant and confident manner of speaking, this does not compensate *** *** ********** treatment he provided. *** ******** ** ******** ******* *********** ***** ********* **** ******** ********** ** ********* ** ************* ******** I would advise others to think twice before consulting with Dr. Gururaj Biradar. *** ********* ******** ***** ***** *** ************* **** ***** ************ *** he seems more focused on quick fixes rather than finding and addressing the root cause of the illness.**** *** *** ****** **** ****** *** **** * ***** *** ** **** ********* *** *********** ********** **** ***** ***** ** **** **** ******** ********** ** *** ********* ***** *** ********** *** **** *********** *** ******** *** * **** **** ****** *** ***** ** * ******* ** ****** ******* ******** ******* **** *** ***** *********

It started exactly 6 months ago when I found out that my voice was getting weaker. After a few days, I started to notice that my voice became fragile, hoarse, and fatigued. So, I consulted a nearby ENT doctor, after doing all the tests, he said its Spasmodic Dysphonia (yeah, I too didn't know it then) and he told me that I may not be going to get my voice back permanently. I was so shocked to hear that because I was expecting a normal throat infection which could be resolved in a month. I wasn't convinced by that so I visited so many hospitals in Chennai and Hyderabad. Since there is no swelling, pain, or anything, all the doctors are not taking it seriously and they are just giving medicine for GERD and Cold.

It's been 2 months and still, my voice is like that only, so I started panicking and became so depressed. Every day waking to see whether my voice improved or not and finding out it didn't was making me so sad day by day. One day, I came across a doctor who specialized in these voice problems and after diagnosis, he said that it was Sulcus Vocalis (yeah, yeah, I didn't know this one too) and there is no medicine for it and surgery is the only option for that problem. I was happy because now I found a way but my father asked what happens if it fails, he said that we can't say anything now. So we consulted other doctors about the surgery and they too said it was Sulcus Vocalis and surgery is the only option for it and there is no medicine but bear the consequences in mind that you may not get your original voice and even if it succeeds now you may get respiratory problems in future. Now, all my hopes of getting my voice back died right there, this time it hit me so hard that I don't even want to consult other doctors anymore.

A month passed, it's been 3 months now and still, my voice is like that only. This time my father made me visit this Manipal Hospital Whitefield in Bangalore where I consulted Dr. Vijay Rangachari, after diagnosis he said it was neither Spasmodic Dysphonia nor Sulcus Vocalis, it was just a nerve strain and it may take some 3-6 months to resolve your problem and I assure you, you will get your voice back. I didn't believe it at first because I consulted 12 doctors so far and used their medicine still, I am here. So, I used his medicine for a month and still no improvement, now I am getting second thoughts about him and my father convinced me to give him another month and this time to my surprise, it worked and I started to notice an improvement in my voice and after next visit, my voice is becoming so close to normal.

After getting treated by him for 3 months, I got my voice back, now If I reflect on what happened is that Dr. Vijay Rangachari diagnosed my problem correctly because he has seen it from another perspective and treated it the right way with care. Other doctors just hadn't diagnosed my problem correctly wanted to do surgery only, they didn't think about what happens to me if it fails.

Now, after 6 months of agony, my voice is normal and my life is normal, thanks to Dr.Vijay Rangachari and I am genuinely so glad I consulted him and got treated by him.

Voice problems are so under-looked in our country and if you have any such problems, just give him a try as I did and I bet with my life, that you'll never regret it.

Thanks to Dr.Vijay Rangachari.

My wife Vijaya Lakshmi aged 57 years had been suffering with Osteoarthritis for 11years

since 2010. When she turned 54 her knee joints resulted in abnormal swelling and

paining. She Used to apply different Ayurvedic oils and Ayurvedic treatment. Took continuous

painkillers for daily relief. Her Orthopedician gave 3 maximum steroid Injections on both the

knees. All this resulted in temporary relief only but not permanent cure. 24×7 pain was felt in

both knees. Unable to climb steps. She stopped walking despite doctor's advice resulting into

weight gain. She stopped doing her yoga exercises as stretching legs was no more possible.

1. First we had consulted Orthopedicians in Mumbai (as we were there) who advised knee

transplantation. Thereafter we shifted to Bengaluru and since 2016 onwards we started

consulting different doctors for their 2nd opinions. All most all the doctors from the very

beginning told that she required immediate Total knee implants of both the right and left legs as

the cartridge of both the legs was worn out.

2. My son searched the Internet and concluded with information gathered based on ratings of Dr. Kumardev Arvind Rajamanya, Orthopedician, Manipal hospital, Whitefield, Bengaluru. Immediately we took appointment and consulted the

Doctor. The doctor advised immediate both the knee transplantation as it was overdue from

2016. He also told any further delay in surgery would result into bending of legs, the deformity of

which cannot be repaired thereafter. The Doctor also very positively advised that my wife can

easily go to the US after 3 months of surgery with good home Physiotherapy.

3. Thereafter my wife underwent detailed blood tests required by the Doctor. Dr. Kumardev attended immediately and planned surgery first for Right knee

on 05/07/2021 morning. She has been fasting since the evening of 04/07/21. On 05/07/21 morning at

08:00 am. She was taken into Operation Theater. We were told that my wife was given total General anesthesia and the surgery would take 2-3 hours. Right knee surgery was

successfully finished by 12:00 pm. and the Doctor told that he would take up surgery of her left

knee on 08/07/2021 based on her tolerance of pain. Thereafter in the evening, Physiotherapy

started for her and she was asked to walk with crutches. She was complaining some pain under

anesthesia effect. But later in the evening and next day it was more. But by 07/07/2021 night

The pain got reduced and got ready for left knee surgery on 08/07/21. Accordingly, she was

operated her Right knee on 08/07/21. Thereafter she was in the hospital for 5 days. She did

physiotherapy in the morning and night. She was discharged after that with instructions to

undergo home physiotherapy for 3 months. We utilized the services of Mr. Jyothi Kiran,

Physiotherapist, Manipal hospital, Whitefield who was daily morning and evening used to visit

our house and made my wife alright. He is a thorough professional in physiotherapy.

4. Our interactions with Dr. Kumardev during this period was outstanding. His timely, deeply and

advice helped my wife to gain total confidence. She started walking at home

with the support of a physiotherapist for 2 months. But started walking independently without

crutches and others support. She was fully alright by 30/09/2021

and we were happily ready to go to the USA from 08/10/2021.

5. During 6 months of her USA stay, she visited various tourist places there and walked freely

forgetting her pain that was there prior to surgery.

6. During my wife's hospital stay we found that the staff attended her were highly educative and

helpful.

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

Hi all, today I will be sharing the knee replacement journey for my mother Mita Kanjilal (aged 67 years).

From past 5 - 6 years she was having difficulty in walking due to much work.

It aggravated to unbearable pain in the last couple of years affecting his mobility in the recent months.

Just before the surgery the pain was so severe that she was unable to stand straight and once she sits somewhere it was very difficult for her to get up by herself.

When it almost reached an ultimatum, surgery was the only choice.

Search began for the best orthopedics doctor and hospital with proved track record.

Initially we visited Narayana hospital and consulted with an orthopedic, no doubt he was good.

Although before proceeding with the surgery we just wanted to have a second opinion and that time we have consulted Dr Kumardev Arvind Rajamanya.

Immediately after the first consultation me and my family felt that this is the doctor we should go for.

The way he explained the current situation post X-RAY was noteworthy and also the behavior and calmness.

Finally, after the 2nd consultation we have decided to go for the surgery based on our preferred date.

His patient hearing (answering to every small question clarifying doubt), 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.

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

He explained in detail the surgery procedure and all the care we should take almost every single day, he even let us meet with his existing patients in order to gain more confidence before we actually go for the surgery.

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 Mother was made to walk with an aide on the second day of the surgery and was discharged from the hospital on the eight days since we had to go through total knee replacement for both the knees.

Dr. Kumardev disciplined approach, extreme expertise in his area, and continuous monitoring care helped in the speedy recovery of my mother.

Doctor gave us an elaborate list of Dos and Don'ts post-surgery and during discharge which helped my mother and us to take care of him.

It is extremely fulfilling to see my mother recover so quickly and back to his normal activity almost 2 - 3 months post-surgery.

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.

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.

I very much recommend Dr. Aritra Ghosh to everyone. A very experienced surgeon who will put you at ease and definitely cure your condition. I was suffering from external hemorrhoids and fissure for almost three years. After a lot of unsuccessful non surgical treatments (allopathic/ayurvedic/homeo), I finally decided to go the surgical way. I went to Pristyn a year back, and they recommended a laser hemorrhoidopexy and sphincterotomy. They promised less pain and immediate recovery in laser procedure as compared to open surgery. Hence I went ahead with the laser procedure. However I had post surgical pain for around a week (i had to take pain killer). The hemorrhoids were cured in 2 weeks but the fissure condition remained. The fissure worsened and the pain increased. Going to washroom was literally a nightmare for me everyday.Finally after a year of the laser surgery, I went to Dr. Aritra Ghosh. He initially prescribed non surgical treatment for a week and told me that he will go ahead with surgery only if it didn't work. As there was no much effect, he prescribed an open surgery (he said he doesn't believe in laser). I was sceptical at first, but he assured me of assured results and that the post surgical recovery process won't be as painful as I was thinking. I went ahead with the surgery anyway. To my surprise, both the surgical process and post surgical recovery process was much better than the previous laser procedure. I didn't have considerable pain post surgery and stopped taking pain killers in two days. Everything is normal now and I am happy that I found the right doctor.

I have consulted Dr. Kumardev for my mother. She was having pain in both the knees for almost 10 years. I tried my best to convince my mother to get knee transparent for past 10 years. In 2017 I was able to convinced her to come with me to Manipal hospital.

We did all the test and she was diagnostic with grade 4 (Last stage) arthritis. We were almost ready to get the surgery but in the last moment she backed off (Due to fear mongering by relatives)

Four year passed and pain start growing from bad to worse. This time pain was unbearable and finally she said "YES" to have surgery.

I decided to take her to Manipal Whitefield again. One of my friends is working in Manipal and she suggested to have consultation with Dr Kumardev. As suggested by her we consulted Dr. Kumardev and my mother was diagnostic with same grade 4 arthritis!!

Dr Kumardev explained us everything in details about her condition and suggested to go for surgery. He explained everything patiently about surgery. He gave lot of confidence to my mother and finally my mother was more confident about surgery!!

Finally, the judgement day came and on 24-Feb-2021 left knee was operated on and 26-Feb-2021 right knee was operated on. Both the surgeries were successful and she is in much better situation now.

It’s very important to choose the right doctor for surgeries. I would highly recommend Dr Kumardev for orthopedic related issues. He is expert in his subject and take care of his patient very well.

Note: Physiotherapy is must after surgery otherwise surgery will not be that effective. We did physiotherapy for two-month post-surgery.
