Manipal Hospital - Kodihalli - Bangalore

We are very thank full to Dr Karthik Prabhakar, Endocrinologist and Diabetologist – Manipal Hospital. I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes during my pregnancy and we visited him and he made sure that my sugar levels were in control until my delivery.

He is very friendly and explains all our doubts clearly. Very thankful to Dr Karthik.  Really a very good doctor.

While I was reading the reviews about Manipal, they were very informative but when I read about Dr Ratnavalli  it was shocking as she is treating my uncle since 5 years. I agree she is wee bit aggressive.When I took my uncle first time I found out she has trained at best places  and has worked in best places which includes NIMHANS and yes she sounds rude sometimes ha.

She is levelheaded and  she is one of the icons in the chapter of neurology -Browse and see.

Firstly, let  all of us understand one thing when we approach doctors we would be very concerned about the status of our patient and probably when this neurologist didn't answer your query u must have been upset, I go completely with you.

But hey I am in this software industry I never ever felt that way. Neurologist would have spent atleast 11-12 years in his/ her training and how many of us when we address her name as " shame to doctor" knows that we couldn't nor were we able to come up to that level of  competency  what she has acheived!

I have no experience about the other doctors but yes I can say without hesitation, Ratnavalli is never money minded - I disagree totally.I run a corporate offices at several places and guys I have seen my staff behaving to the elderly with disrespect considering it as cool .

Ratnavalli sends expensive tests - absolute crap! She had suggested to do a test called VGKC which was expensive and when I took my uncle to US, they recommended same test!Other thing is why would she advise expensive test to other than Karnataka guys.-I kinda of feel u are getting personal .

I think we should be bit more humble in speaking about doctor fraternity  cos u kind of stand with your sick relative in front of doctor and abuse him - got guts? don't show cowardly act by abusing behind unethically -travesty is doctors migrate india cos they get good money and respect - hello guys open up the websites of American, UK, Australian hospitals and see how many out there are indian doctors! u will be sorry to see lot many!

I have seen my staff abusing me when they didn't get a job - Cos nobody would die but here in the hospital ur patient can die if u don't get a doctor.My kind advice -respect doctors if  u want best .

If you are positive  u get positive things n if u are negative - u get negative things.

I had undergone an ACL reconstruction surgery a few years back but now I am again facing some issues. I went to the same doctor again then they said it is some other problem and needs to be operated again.

I consulted two other doctors they said it is because of ACL again and the previous surgery has failed because it wasn't done properly. Now I have to go through two other surgeries to correct the previous one and for new  ACL reconstruction .

Both my kids were delivered in Manipal hospital and with Dr. Gayathri Karthik.Very happy and satisfied. Had consulted Dr Gayathri in her private clinic. Very professional doctor.

In Manipal, Infrastructure is really good.  I agree that prices are high, but the facilities are also at par. I found it a single place for all medical needs.

Many doctors in Manipal and Apollo Hospitals are medical tourism doctors and surgeons. They are former NRI's who have learned some small medical skills abroad along with an accent! Once back in India(out of their own volition) they are keen to make the same kind of money that they used to make abroad. They turn out to be a menace not only to the foreigners(who come to India for medical treatment and operations in order to save some costs because of the cheaper living in India as compared to abroad) but also to resident Indians. These ex-NRI doctors and surgeons are mostly crooks and use unscrupulous means as they not only conduct unnecessary medical tests and operations on foreigners but also on unsuspecting poor and middle-class Indians who believe everything these NRI doctors say as they(these doctors) put unfounded fears in the patients minds by suggesting surgeries and treatments worth lacs of rupees when they are not at all required in the first place.

These doctors modus operandi is to hold free medical camps(mostly in small towns and villages) where people are not so educated. Here they examine normal and even healthy patients who flock there(since examination is free) and then put fears and doubts in their minds by slowly trying to convince them to carry out unnecessary medical tests, treatments and surgeries thereby monetarily benefiting not only these doctors but also the fancy hospitals they are attached to. Watch out and identify these ex-NRI doctors and don't become a victim.

Actually I dont want to give one star also but this is the least rating available.

Never go to Dr Girish from ENT dept. For my simple sore throat he asked me to get operated. He didn't even diagnose my problem properly. Thank god! I went for a second opinion. then I went to doctor Meer Ziaudeen a general physician from MS Clinic whitefield and he gave me some pain killers and my sore throat was completely gone.

I had a good experience in Malathi Manipal hospital, Jayanagar and I would like to thank my doctor Abdul Razac and the other staffs. He is a very good doctor. He is knowledgeable, humble, and down to earth person.  He has superb skills.

Though he is very busy doc, but he would get back to his patients and call them once he is free. I would suggest everyone to visit him if any general advice required.

Thanks doctor.

Shibani.

Pathetic hospital. They just bill you unnecessarily. I am sharing my experience with Manipal hospital. I had very bad experience at manipal hospital. It seems they are not running hospital they are running only money making business.

Staff Behavior: Worst, they don't have manner, as to how to talk with patients.

Doctor: Some doctors are good, but they have some monthly target such as number of operations and they scare people by saying somethings.

Its a very costly hospital with zero hospitality.

All these are100% truth about Dr. Girish Rai in Manipal Hospital. I wish I could have read this before I visited him. But realized all these posts already here even before when I wanted to post my experience. Yesterday there was a sudden bleeding from my left ear when I woke up in the morning. We called multiple hospitals n found that a doctor is available in Manipal. Finally we visited Manipal hospital there we needed to register and paid consultation which is too high also they are least bother about patient. Finally we got appointment of Dr.Girish.

We were waiting for him for last half an hour and got to know he is in his chamber and will come to see patients in another 15-20 mins junior doctor mentioned. By that time she took me inside and asked for my problem and finally said now Dr.Girish will check. Then after half an hour Dr. Girish Rai  came out of his chamber and called me. Before I could explain about my prob, I saw a ready prescription where everything was mentioned: hearing test (another bill) and some antibiotics. When I asked what is the reason of sudden bleeding from my left ear, he started saying there is blood, can't see anything.

We need to put you in day care, give u local anesthesia and need to check using microscope which will cost us Rs.12000. we were shocked. He has no satisfactory reason for this. Junior doctor took me to another room and performed hearing test. Finally my test results were normal. She only explained to me with the help of a chart on the wall. That doctor didn't even bother to check my ear. He just wanted to loot money and keen to teach junior doctors. Less worried about patient. I will never recommend Manipal and Dr. Girish. Finally we went to Apollo clinic and got ear cleaned in minutes without any anesthesia. Prescribed ear drops and antibiotics for not to have infection. Shame on you Dr. Girish.

Dr Sachith Abraham looks very professional though is a money minting machine. We offered to provide me a skin treatment for Rs.3500(overall) & reduced to Rs.1800 when I mentioned that the injections he would use is less than Rs. 100. Later when the problem didn't got fixed, I was told that Rs. 1800 was for one time sitting(total lie). He charged me 3 more times for the same problem which didn't got resolved & actually increased.

I went to another doctor in Delhi who fixed this issue in only 2 sittings & charged me Rs. 500 per sitting & clearly told me it would take 1-2000 upfront. Totally unhappy from service provided by Sachith A & would surely not recommend anyone to go to him unless you want to burn your money & stay with the problem.

My uncle was admitted with symptoms of sepsis with several complications and was quite critical.

Thanks to the great work by the MICU team, he is now cured and back at home.

My uncle was in the MICU for 18 days and during the whole time, the doctors were very transparent and committed.

The entire team spent a lot of time counseling and explaining the situation to us and providing the best possible treatment to my uncle.

I have visited Dr Girish Rai yesterday. I had terrible pain in throat and was suffering from tonsillitis. Though I already had appointment but still after waiting for 45 minutes, I got to meet Dr Girish.

In total he took hardly 2 minutes to see me and sent me back. There were a few trainee doctors, he was suggesting them what medicine should be prescribed. He just heard I have throat pain, he took swab sample and suggested CT.

I told him other symptoms, he dint listen anything and just told me get CT done. He suggested me medication which till yet I have taken 3 doses of and it is not at all effective or rather 2% effective.

I could not sleep whole night yesterday coz of throat pain and now I am planing to visit some other ENT specialist. (yet to find out who?)

Drs like Girish are putting Manipal Hospital name in stake. Do not visit Dr Girish if you want to heal yourself.

I went for a annual health checkup at Manipal Hospital, had a horrible experience and now wondering if the report data is mine or someone else's!

There is chaos and lack of coordination in the processes, doctors are junior and do not even appear to be competent, the samples collected are taken with such casualness that I was doubting if they will mix up the samples. When I went for final consultation, the doctor mentioned the report mess ups for another patient.

I am now wondering that I should go for another round of health checkup at a more reliable diagnostic center rather than these big money minded hospitals!

I paid consultancy fee and asked by doctor to come back with MRI report and when I went to show the report  on other day as MRI is done on appointment basis, I was first asked to pay consultancy fee for some other doctor then and when I said I already paid the consultancy fee, I am asked to pay again . Now that I have done MRI on doctor say and now to show him the report I am again need to pay consultancy.

Really Irritated.

Instead of paying to show the report to same doctor, I better go to some other doctor in some other hospital with the report and pay consultancy fee .

I feel bad to write about this hospital and neurology specialist Ratnavalli. (shame if I put dr beside her name)

He recommends tests/surgery without checking patients condition. She can recommend surgery to dead patient if u give money.

-Doesn't check complete reports produced by patient.

-Doesn't know how to treat senior citizens and do no have patience to listen to their problems.

-Gives false hopes to "sell" expensive tests, fools patient and family.

-Never talk about complications, always boasts about her status and insult other doctors in world. Egoist and has false pride of her abilities.

-Acts as if she is too busy to fool patients.

-Doesn't suggest any medicines and fools patients to go for surgeries always for minor problems also.

-Not responsible and not bothered abt life of patient but only with her specialty and money.

-Slowly converting moneypal to deathpal.

-Better choose this doctor if u want to murder someone or kill yourself by paying more money in tests unnecessarily.

-Traps patients if somebody is coming from other states than Karnataka.

-Knows regulations are poor in India and uses it to fool/kill patients.

-Don’t know if she has bribed medical council to get some seat.

Hospital is money-minded with very little care for patient & family. Should be avoided at all costs.Patients are taken for granted and treated as ATM machines.

Check on the net for the treatment & tests offered, most of them are unnecessary and costly.

I have instances where it takes 1pc of what manipal costs and provides better results.

Good service.

When my friend met an accident while crossing the road, the bike hit him forcibly. He fell down and the skin above the eye was gone and a bone had appeared. I was there opposite to the road. Totally, I don’t know what to do.

I took an auto and went to Manipal Hospital at Soumya Nagar, Tadepalli. They treated him quite well at that moment. After a week or two, it was all right. They didn’t take any unnecessary scans.

Any type of families can go there and they are not expensive. Thanks to Manipal Hospitals, Vijayawada.

Went to dental department few weeks back with some issues. Doctor did a orthopantogram (full x-ray of all teeth in layman term) which I feel was not required as the problem was with the last tooth of my lower jaw.

After inspection he said, I need to remove the teeth and said it will take 7-8 days to heal. As I was traveling out of station after 2 days, I said, can I do this once I come back after 2 weeks.

Doctor immediately changed his words. And said, it will take only 2 days to recover. I must get that tooth removed immediately.

I could not trust the doctor anymore. Simply walked out.

This is to report  my experiences with Dr. Sidiq Siqora, gastroenteric surgeon:

1.Does not check the condition of the patient before recommending surgery.

2.Does not  talk about possible side effects/ complications of surgery.

3.Does not like to be questions about the same by concerned relatives.

4.Ready to offer more surgery when the first one failed.

Please be advised to do due diligence and be very informed before going to this surgeon.

He WILL NOT do it for you and be angry if you ask him. Very very easy with the scalpel and money but absolutely egoistic and arrogant.

I will NOT recommend him.

I had my baby delivered on Aug 30th early morning 6.42 am. I am very pleased with the way they taken care of my wife and baby during this. Yes I do had some bad experience during this. I have asked twin sharing room to fit in to my insurance coverage but they failed to provide the room for almost 6 to 8 hours. My wife and baby were asked to be in the labor room itself.

After having 2 to 3 times argument they have provided single room as they didn't have any vacancy in twin sharing. During the stay there were so prompt  with food to the patient and very caring to my baby.Round the clock we have more than one nurse who use to assist my family to have good sleep. Any request placed was addressed less than 15 mins. They maintained the surrounding very clean. Doctor attendance is very disciplined.

Insurance processing is damn easy and I didn't involve much in to that. Only thing is it's costly. Even after having 50, 000 insurance I had payed 6000 rs from my pocket. but over all our family experience is good. Wish they continue to serve better.
