Manipal Hospital Varthur Road (formerly Columbia Asia Hospital)

Started Consulting Dr Namita Kapoor after 34 week of pregnancy due to bad experience from previous doctor. After a long search and reading lot of reviews we got some confidence to meet and discuss our next course of action. Since day one we got good confidence on her and with every visit this confidence level increased and we decided to proceed for rest of the process with Dr. Namita Kapoor (with a regret why we didn't choose her since start).

We liked the suggestions and the process she follows for whole consulting process to keep it as Natural as possible. And even when other doctors starts scaring with few natural minor complications like in our case for 1 loop round the neck and other doctors were scaring and forcing us to plan early delivery (cesarean post 32 week or 36 week max) because of this which was not necessary.

Dr. Namita checked all the previous scans and reports and said because of this there is no need to plan early delivery. we can still wait till last day (with monitoring baby movements at home) and still Normal delivery can be tried. In case baby do not come down and heartbeat fluctuates while trying then on last day last option will be caesarean otherwise most of the cases Normal delivery is possible. We were convinced with the way she told at least she is still trying for normal delivery and there can be chance we can have baby delivered without caesarean.

On the Day of delivery. She tried her level best to get baby delivered normally but we can see that every time its tried the baby heartbeat was fluctuating. So considering 2 complications (loop around the neck and baby poop in womb) and heartbeat fluctuation while trying for normal delivery we have to go for emergency caesarean delivery or it will be risk to the baby that we can understand.

Our satisfaction was like Doctor tried her level best for normal delivery that was enough for us to still keep on continuing with Dr. Namita for any of our future need. She is great doctor and this kind of attitude and skills are rare nowadays. I highly recommend Dr Namita to anyone who is really concerned about Normal and Natural process and avoid unnecessary intervention. She has great history of Normal delivery even in some complicated cases with great knowledge and skills.

Special thanks to Dr. Namita Kapoor for all the support and taking care of what is needed. I would like to thanks Columbia Asia Hospital too for the seamless process and good arrangements made during the process. And last but not the least thanks to the hospital staff for full support at any time round the clock.

I visited Dr.Naveen Chandra for my 76 year old mother on Dec 2019 when she had difficulty walking even a few steps. She was 100kgs and there was edema in both legs. The doctor did an Echo and diagnosed severe PASP along with other age related heart problems and immediately put her on higher dose of diuretics. He did not rush us into admission. Although we were a new patient, the doctor was reachable on phone for clarification and on whatsapp thereafter to keep a close tab on blood work to adjust dosages. Today, my mother has shed all that excess fluid and is on a steady dose of medicines. Her quality of life has improved, thanks to Dr.Naveen Chandra.

I very strongly recommend Dr Naveen Chandra. His calming demenaour immediately put my mother at ease. He genuinely listened to everything that my mother had to say and did not belittle any of her complaints. While the doctor kept it real to me and my brother about my mother’s condition, that she cannot take in surgical interventions, he did not give up on her. He reassured my mother that she will get better with medicines.

My mother had twice been hospitalized in a prominent hospital and all I remember is doctors would often go ‘she has too many problems’, and a sympathetic hollow gaze. We felt very helpless. Contrast this to meeting Dr. Naveen who was reassuring with the patient, realistic with us and spot-on with the treatment as the results show.

Hats off to such compassionate and equally competent doctors in these times.

We visited Dr. Vijaya Meenakshi Maam for the first time for the pregnancy check up. Our fist visit became the best visit as we were pretty impressed by the friendliness and professionalism maam had. She did understand our condition and did listen to our whole lot of stories and various complications, and other issues with our previous miscarriages.

After 2 miscarriages previously and other issues with my wife's uterus we had lost a hope of having a child, but after meeting Meenakshi maam her expertise, calmness and her way of handling things gave us a lot of confidence and trust which gave us a positive vibe of being parents.

Meenakshi maam is very knowledgeable and the technique or methods she uses in her treatment are mindblowing and remarkable. The success stories what we experienced and heard about Maam are to a great extent and appreciable

Today we are proud to be parents of a baby boy and the only reason for this is because of Maam, she is one of the best doctor whom we have ever seen through our entire life. Her dedication, support and knowledge has brought a success and praises which cant be explained.

Maam did take a personal care of us and she was available to us 24/7 which no other doctors would do. She has also helped us to overcome all the consequences throughout our entire pregnancy journey.

Words fall short to us and cant be explained. the support, affection, care, treatment which we got from Maam are never forgetable. We will always be thankful to Maam from bottom of our heart. I proudly with raised head say it was the best decision we made to consult Maam for our pregnancy journey and i would always ask or request people to consult maam for any pregnacy or fertility related issues and you will see a postive change, happiness and joy in ur life.

Once again thank you maam for what all you have done to us and our family. We will always be thankful to you and u will remain in our hearts forever.

May you have lots and lots of success and happiness in your life as well as carrer.

Best wishes

Dr Vijaya Meenakshi is an amazing and incredible doctor. Above all she is a great human being.

First and foremost- According to me personally, Dr Vijaya Meenakshi is one such doctor who is passionate about her profession. She's known for her expertise, calmness, patience and so on.

We visited her 1 year ago when we were trying to conceive and was diagnosed for PCOD. Frankly, our first visit itself was promising.

She is calm, polite , always smiling and positive. Her calm nature spreads a positive vibe. She is very patient , she always has answered all the queries we had and she cleared all our doubts throughout our visits. Her positive , honest and friendly approach is what made us choose her for our baby. Also she has provided her number for emergencies & she responded to all the msgs giving us solutions.

We are also very impressed by her pace of treatment, medication methods, and more important is her tailor made treatments.

All thanks to her we welcomed our baby last month.

Thank you doctor !!

This was my first pregnancy and luckily we happened to visit Dr. Vijaya Meenakshi mam in Manipal hospital. I was impressed by her friendliness and professionalism at the first visit itself. She was so calm and polite and help us with all our little queries also. *** ** * **** ************* ** *** ***** I had my personal issues which I had shared with Vijaya mam she was so supportive every time as she used to enquire about it and give me strength. My 9 months pregnancy journey with Vijaya Meenakshi mam was very much satisfactory and she had never suggested for unwanted scans during my journey. She was always available whenever needed.

I had some complications during my delivery but Dr. Vijaya Meenakshi mam gave us all the hopes during the delivery and treated me so well. She gave strength to my Husband, my Old Parents, my Mother-in-law. I have delivered a Baby Boy and Dr. Vijaya mam helped us with the normal delivery which was most needed for me due to personal issues.Thank you so much Vijaya mam and I would like to Thank Prithvi doctor as well who was with us during my delivery.

I am grateful to you Vijaya mam, Thanks:)

I am eager to express the profound impact that Dr. Vijaya Meenakshi has had on my life. Three years ago, on a Saturday, I sought her expertise for my PCOD concerns, and since that moment, she has become my unwavering choice for medical care. Over these past three years, my husband and I have navigated through immense challenges, including the heart-wrenching experience of a MTP with our first baby. Throughout this trying period, Dr. Vijaya Meenakshi stood by us, offering not only exceptional medical care but also invaluable emotional support.

On the joyous occasion of 15/11/2023, when our precious baby boy entered the world, my happiness transcended words. What made the moment even more special was hearing Dr. Vijaya Meenakshi remark, "I remember you guys visited me for the very first time on a Saturday." This demonstrated the extraordinary bond she had cultivated with us over the years.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Vijaya Meenakshi for her unwavering support throughout this journey. Her compassionate care has been a guiding light, and I am truly grateful for the positive impact she has had on our lives.

I have Consulted Dr.Debashish Datta Majumdar ENT Specialist of Manipal Hospital Varthur Road, Bangalore for loud snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) that I have been suffering from for many years. My experience with the doctor was unique that he diagnosed the issue well and explained it to us in an easy to understand manner. He is pleasant and patient friendly. I have subsequently undergone the laser surgery as advised by him, successfully. The surgery is simple, but under GA. As the anesthesia doctors of the hospital are equally capable as that of the team of ENT doctors of Dr.Debashish, I felt confident and safe.

Now it is more than 25 days after surgery. The snoring is more or less gone and I feel quite comfortable while sleeping even without a CPAP machine which I have been using for atkeast five years. But for Dr Debashish and his team of doctors and staff this would not have been possible. I have no hesitation in recommending him for treatment of snoring and OSA.

Dr. Naveen Chandra is himself a brand that it becomes needless to explain our experience. However, for greater good of the public it's important that we share our experience.

My father had an acute myocardial infarction few days back which we were not aware about. The day I met him after few days I noticed he had breathing issues. When we rushed him to Columbia hospital doctors informed us of his condition and that they cannot assure us anything.

Thanks to Dr. Naveen's expertise that my father recovered so fast. Most of the expert doctors were of the opinion that open heart surgery is the only go for my father. But Dr. Naveen turned this major surgery down, he handled the situation with angioplasty and this gave my father a speedy recovery and a normal life now. Through the entire period he was so comforting with us. His humbleness, kind attitude, empathy and hard work has made us indebted to him forever.

No matter how late it is in night, any issue Dr. Naveen is available at the next available moment making us aware of the condition and the next step. I cannot expect more. Even now when we meet him for regular check up, he meet us in the same way. Any emergency no matter what time it is on the clock he replies our call, messages. Always reachable.

We are fortunate to have a doctor like him. We wish him all success and good fortune in his life.

My Father and I had experienced and continue to have a wonderful experience with DR Naveen Chandra maybe for the last 3-4 years @ Manipal Hospital(erstwhile Columbia Asia Varthur Road )

Dr Naveens High level of competency, diagnostics, compassion , his eye for details and his High Medical standards have immensely helped my father in helping to lead a better quality of life in spite of his deteriorating heart condition.

Dr. Naveen’s efforts in diagnosing the problem and treatment is second to none to the best of my past experience with other Doctors .

As a Son I trust Dr Chandra 100% wholeheartedly for taking such good medical care of my father ( aged-75) and would highly recommend him to everyone who is looking for a highly competent/Compassionate cardiologist in Bangalore.

I sincerely thank Manipal Hospital(erstwhile Columbia Asia ) for having such great doctors like Dr Naveen in their elite panel .My never ending trust and belief continue to live because of such great doctors .
