Aster Whitefield Hospital

* **** **** ******** ** ** ******* ** *** ******** ***** *** * After a particular surgery i have been discharged on 8th day based on standard POD procedure like Oral acceptance/ no constipation/ no fever. However due to a major post operative infection that has been found out by one of the Senior Dr in surgical department, when I visited for 3rd day review after my discharge from the hospital. Now let me comeback to Dr Dheeraj department - with a request letter from surgical department for Ultrasound, he tested and said this can’t be determined by Echo and called his assistant Jagdeesh to prepare for CT scan.

Jagdeesh prepared me with water consumption procedure and told us that CT will be done in 4 hrs time.

Very supportive- arranged a temporary bed for resting. He often visited and was checking the status. Then the time came for CT scan and that’s been done- results were forwarded to surgical department. Afterwards surgical team asked to perform a procedure.

Dr Dheeraj by the time went for a meeting and many assisting staff in CT left.

After he returned back he didn’t hesitate to stay back and he performed the procedure along with his assistant Jagdeesh. Such a good and cooperative personality is Dr Dheeraj and his assistant Jagdeesh!

He informed me that some liquid accumulated- now a bag is attached for bringing the liquid out and asked me to keep sending the photos of the liquid accumulation to take further steps.

Through the photos and based on the culture report surgical team asked me to take admission as IP.

After joining they started the IV for that particular bacteria.

Dr Dheeraj visited and checked me, though now the treatment is done by surgical team, Good is it not ?

5 days then they found that the situation was getting under control and discharged me again.

This particular process has taken over the original surgery and I even forgotten what for I went to that hospital initially. Now I’m completely attached to Dr Dheeraj and he/ his assistant were following up about the improvement.

Then the procedure of withdrawal of the tube and bag started- every alternative days 1 cm the tube pulled out - this procedure involves removing of old stitches, local anaesthesia, pulling the tube, fresh stitches. This procedure performed every alternative days. They used to take extreme care and extended all possible support- supportive words, patting me and telling “nothing to worry you will become alright”

Few things I should highlight- one day there was a heavy rush and many cases were going on, our turn was getting delayed, at least 5 to 6 times Dr Dheeraj and his assistant Jagdeesh used to visit us and keep saying “ sorry too many cases kindly bear with us” a very gentle and down to earth behaviour I could say!!

Another incident was after a particular day’s tube pull out we came back home and next day morning a small puss like leak we found and next day went and met Dr Dheeraj, by seeing that he asked me to go immediately to CT room and said “am coming in few minutes..” so positive is it not ??

He came, tested through CT and removed the dressing, and then said we almost pulled the tube, now that tube is touching the muscle and this puss is from the top skin layer and then he suggested that it’s better to remove everything and asked my concurrence, I said that I have 100% faith on him and requested to proceed.

That day was a big relief.

In this entire one month or so procedure- His team gave ultimate support that includes taking care of changing my dress, assisting on my every movement. Not like a medical team but I felt like I have friends standing all along with me in the whole procedure. They stood by me, patted me , explaining each and everything, very supportive, made me to feel like I’m surrounded by my family. What else one can expect more than this ?

Thanks dear Dr Dheeraj- God bless you.

Thanks dear Jagdeesh- God bless you.

My mom had a fall and femur bone fracture in March 2022. She has having osteoporosis and so her bone health was not in good shape. Sha had a fall while walking in the campus where we stay. Looking at her condition we were worried that the fracture is of very bad type.

Anyways we called the ambulance and took her to the hospital.

The nearest hospital was Manipal Whitefield (Near ITPL/ Opp Prestige Shantiniketan Mall)) and we were there in emergency in under 20 minutes. There the doctors immediately took her inside and after scans confirmed the fracture. Now it was a complicated one as she was 72 years old and her bone health was bad as well. The emergency doctor directed us to Dr Kumardev Arvind Rajamanya in OPD whom I met with the scan report and he explained the surgery process and how he is going to treat her. One thing I have to add here is that mom's accident was on a weekend and on Sundays you have very few doctors who attend to surgeries. Anyways given my mom's condition Dr Kumardev took decision to do the surgery on Sunday itself and got her moved to inpatient from emergency. Surgery was long - almost 6 hours, and it was successful. Post surgery mom had to go through a elaborate physiotherapy plan. Very happy to state that after 6 months of surgery and rehab my mom was able to walk independently. It took time given her state but throughout this journey Dr Kumardev and his team has been extremely supportive and helped me through all queries. The doctor even shared his contact details and allowed me to reach out to him for immediate queries. Who does this in today's world?

Overall I am thankful to God that I took the decision to take my mom to Manipal Whitefield and luckily met Dr Kumardev. Thankfully my mom is back on her feet and is totally independent like she was before.

In case health issues , even if we don't know where to go is also ok, but we should know where we should not go!!

Visited Dr Kumardev Arvind Rajamanya on 6th March 2022 for knee replacement surgery for 73 years old person. Both knees surgery is done with single admit. He is reachable over mobile messages, and himself suggest/explain how to keep clean with sanitizer, then after couple of minutes minuets he will double check the attendant whether following or not :) . ex: touch the patient after rubbing the hands with sanitizer.

His follow-up with patient is excellent until recovery along with physiotherapy. until unless its required He will not suggest/ask to come to meet him.

some one can visit Dr Kumardev Arvind Rajamanya blindly for replacement surgery without any 2nd thought.

Note: after visiting this doctor don't visit any other doctor for 2nd opinion (as i did, wasted consultation money with other) . until unless experience we will not come to know, but this is what happened in case of my mother-in-law surgery.

Now relief after surgery is excellent . VISIT THIS DCOTOR TO SAVE TIME, MONEY AND TO GET GOOD HEATHY LIFE AFTER SURGERY.

I cannot praise Dr. Kumardev enough for the exceptional care he provided to my 6-year-old son during his treatment for a supracondylar fracture of the right hand elbow. He is an outstanding orthopaedic surgeon who not only possesses remarkable expertise but also exhibits immense compassion and dedication towards his young patients.

From the moment we met him, Dr. Kumardev made us feel at ease. He took the time to thoroughly explain the injury, the treatment options, and the potential outcomes, ensuring we fully understood the situation and helped alleviate any anxiety he had about the procedure.

The surgical procedure performed by Dr. Kumardev was executed flawlessly, resulting in an optimal outcome. Post-surgery, he continued to closely monitor my son's progress and conducted regular follow-up appointments to ensure his recovery was on track.

Thanks to Dr. Kumardev’s expertise and compassionate care, my son's recovery has been remarkable. His elbow has regained full functionality, and he is back to School( as per the the condition it was not looking possible to return within 4-5 months). We are forever grateful for the impact Dr. Kumardev has had on our son's life.

I highly recommend Dr. Kumardev to everyone who needs an orthopaedic surgeon for their child or any other family members.
