Manipal Hospital, Millers Road ( Vikram Hospitals )

In April 2022, I experienced normal flu symptoms and a cough. Initially, I believed it was just a regular flu due to the changing seasons, so I decided to visit a nearby clinic. The doctor there recommended some medicines, but unfortunately, they didn't provide any relief. Concerned about my health, I made the decision to move to city in search of better treatment.\n\nUpon reaching the new city, I consulted various doctors who suggested numerous tests during each visit, Additionally, they prescribed several medications despite my insistence that I only had a common flu. To my surprise, one doctor informed me that I had asthma. This revelation was shocking, considering I had never smoked or been exposed to any drugs in my life. I grew up in an area with clean air and surrounded by forests, so it seemed implausible. I struggled to maintain focus, and the dry cough persisted despite taking the prescribed medications.\n\nThroughout eight months of futile visits to the doctor, each time I was presented with a different explanation. Frustrated and losing hope, I eventually quit my job due to the toll it took on my mental health. It was at this point that a friend from Bangalore suggested Dr. Vasunethra Kasargod to me. Initially, I hesitated, fearing it would be another financial burden. However, my friend assured me that Dr. Kasargod was an exceptional doctor, and it was worth giving it a try.\n\nTaking my friend's advice to heart, I booked my tickets to Bangalore and arranged a meeting with Dr. Kasargod at Manipal Hospital. To my surprise, on the first visit, he recommended that I stop taking all the previous medications and prescribed a new set of medications worth only cost Rs 30\/=. He diagnosed me with hyperventilation, stating that I was 100% fit and did not have asthma. Though skeptical, I followed his treatment plan, and to my amazement, I experienced a 80% improvement in my condition.\n\nI am immensely grateful to Dr. Kasargod for his expertise and guidance, which has significantly improved my health. I am truly thankful to him for giving me hope and a chance to regain my well-being.\

Dr Akshita makes me comfortable enough to talk about any topic, thought or concern that comes to my mind during the course of our sessions.

She has been the cornerstone of my recovery from anxiety and depression , which I was grappling with for 2 years , before I met her.

Her methods are subtle but highly effective. An out and out professional , who knows to listen and nudge in the right direction.

I have made simple behavioral changes on her advise, which has made me a less anxious person today.

Therapy in India is still not very extensively sought, although awareness is now growing.

I would recommend anyone facing mental issues to give therapy a try and see for yourself the difference it can make. And even more so if you are able to do it with a doctor as good as Dr.Akshita.

I have encouraged my children who are in their teens to also consult with her. In today's environment of toxic social media and peer pressure, kids too need all the guidance they can get at the right time.

I visited Vikram hospital for my wife's pregnancy. Initially we were consulting a different doctor (diff hospital) but my wife had some complications. One of our relatives suggested Gynecologist/Obstetrician Dr.N Venkatesh at Vikram for such a complicated/High risk pregnancy. Dr.Venkatesh is the Head of Gynecology at Vikram and is definitely one of the best doctors I've come across. His enormous experience and expertise can be seen in his approach/attitude towards handling complex situation like ours. He takes time in understanding the situation/s, explains them clearly to us. His words are very assuring, relieving us of the stress we undergo. Dr Venkatesh is one of the very few doctors who is very Ethical(never suggested unwanted scans/tests unless required as compared to the prior doctor we consulted). He is always available for queries, can be reached on phone 24/7. Dr.Venkatesh also has a very good team Gynecologists who takes care of us round the clock. We still have a long way to go until delivery but I am sure we are at safe hands for the rest of the pregnancy term. I would definitely recommend Dr N.Venkatesh for Gynecology/Obstetrics consultation.

We visited Dr.Chandan Juneja for pilonidal sinus surgery. He explained us the cause, current condition and treatment. We took a week time to decide on date and finally got operated.

He is a great professional with through knowledge of what is he dealing with.

I suggest him for any one suffering with these kind of issues which would require surgery.

However, billing team of Manipal hospital, Millers Road Bangalore is pathetic.

They charge for everything which is not given to patient . Specially 5th floor billing , floor supervisor and sisters are pathetic.

Apart from these issues, cleaning staff is too good. They strive hard to keep everything clean all the time.

Food canteen is good. They provide service at room for attendees as well. Yes, seems bit expensive but taste is good.

Overall

Doctors:9/10

Cleaning staff: 10/10

Canteen: 9/10

Helping Hands/ sisters : 6/10 - 5th floor

Security:9/10

Billing and insurance team- 1st floor- 2/10

Billing and insurance team-5th floor- 1/10

need to look into these floor staff- Very pathetic, frustrating.

We had a very bad experience with this doctor. We choose this doctor because of a lot of positive reviews.

My mother's right knee was displaced and her leg wasn't straight she used to hobble but she did not experience any pain.

The doctor suggested knee replacement surgery and we went ahead with it as he assured us that

this is a common operation and within a couple of weeks, my mother could walk normally.

He didn't caution us at all about any potential failures *** ******* ******* ***** *** **** *********** ****** *** *** **** *** ****** Even after 4 months my mother's leg still isn't straight

and she still hobbles. The bad part is that she experiences slight pain when she walks but at night the pain

becomes so unbearable that she has to take a pain killer.

The doctor tried to place plaster twice (one week each) post surgery but the moment the plasters are removed

the leg goes back to the same position. ***** ****** ******* ** *** ******** ** ** *** **** ** ********** The bad part is he also placed the

blame on my mother once stating that the patient is not co-operating and the problem is in her mental

state and asked us to get counseling.

There is no sympathy from the doctor's side.**** ********* *** ************** **** ** **** **** * **** ****** ** *** *** ** ******** ********* **** **** ****

At present we are consulting another doctor and we are seeing improvements.

Although the leg still isn't straight at least the pain has reduced a lot and there is no need to take painkillers.

We really regret getting this surgery done. We would never recommend this doctor to anyone.

I thank vikram hospital n its staff for its care n support which thy hav shown towards me during my stay in the hospital though I was not the easiest patient to deal with.

I also thank Dr. Niti mam n Dr

Zeeshan sir and their team, and their staff for their tremendous support and dedication shown towards me during my treatment.

Their talent and caring manner is contribute towards medical profession.

Tasteless food, painful recovery, difficult tym everything was possible because I had such a wonderful doctor's team like Dr niti mam n syed zeeshan sir's team

I also thank oncology department staff, nurses for their mental, medical, emotional, and spiritual unwavering support given by thm to me during my diagnosis.

I was having trouble with anxiety/panic attack and I was taking Lonazep 0.5 tablet for almost 5 years. I tried many ways to stop the tablet, but withdrawal symptoms were huge, like lack of concentration, insomnia etc. I approached Ms. Akshita and I had 5 sessions and she really helped me quit the tablet and how to overcome anxiety. She is a very kind person and every session was very informative and learnt something new out of it. Now I am not dependent on any tablet and stress free. Thank you so much for your help.

We have had a great experience consulting with Ms. Akshita, She is been of great help in guiding us appropriately during our sessions.

We have been consulting from past 3 years and we are very happy the way she helps us to handle the situations and guide us with different techniques to manage our stress.

These techniques allows us to manage our stress effectively and helps us in day to day activities.

We highly recommend Ms. Akshita Hariharan to our family and friends.

Anees and Afzal.

Didn’t spend enough time going through my concerns. Mostly rushed it. I wanted to know if I have EDS / POTS but I was told I was completely fine without any tests done with respect to the particular concern.. He could have referred to someone else, or told me this was not his area of expertise because it wasn’t. It was a disappointing experience to say the least. Turns out I actually have these issues, so I cannot put my Heath in the hands of someone who cannot bring patience and expertise in helping patients with concerns.

Hi, This doctor is really awesome. She is like an Angel to our lives. My sister had a major head injury and we were baffled and just struck. But because of the kind of precise expertise surgery that she performed, my sister got a new life and this gift is from Dr. Kanti Shetty. She is so down to earth, gave us so much strength and confidence in our hard times and the result was just amazing. we will be grateful to her all our life.Thanks is a very small word to express but from the bottom of our heart we are very thankful to you.God bless you madam with all the happiness.Thanks madam once again.
