Patient Experience
As a 28-year-old software engineer, I suddenly developed debilitating migraines with visual auras that threatened my career. Dr. Kulkarni's innovative nerve block procedure at Manipal Hospital gave me immediate relief, and his cognitive therapy approach helped me manage triggers. I'm now migraine-free for 6 months and back to coding full-time.
My 8-year-old daughter developed rare Rasmussen's encephalitis causing daily seizures. Dr. Kulkarni performed a functional hemispherectomy at Manipal Hospital with such precision that she's now seizure-free, back in school, and even learning to play piano with her unaffected hand.
After surviving a motorcycle accident with traumatic brain injury, I woke up at Manipal Hospital to find Dr. Kulkarni had not only saved my life but preserved my cognitive function through targeted hypothermia therapy. At 45, I've returned to teaching mathematics with no deficits.
My 72-year-old mother's essential tremor had progressed until she couldn't feed herself. Dr. Kulkarni's deep brain stimulation procedure transformed her life - she now paints beautiful watercolors and her tremor is 90% reduced with adjustable settings.
As a professional musician with focal hand dystonia, I thought my career was over until Dr. Kulkarni administered botulinum toxin injections with EMG guidance. The precision treatment allowed me to play violin again within weeks without compromising my technique.
Our teenage son developed autoimmune encephalitis that was misdiagnosed as psychiatric illness. Dr. Kulkarni recognized the neurological basis immediately, initiated immunotherapy, and saved him from permanent damage. He's now back on his basketball team.

After a stroke left me with aphasia at 67, Dr. Kulkarni's intensive neurorehabilitation program using cutting-edge brain-computer interface technology helped me regain my speech completely. I can now converse with my grandchildren without frustration.
My wife's normal pressure hydrocephalus was causing dementia-like symptoms. Dr. Kulkarni's ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery reversed her cognitive decline dramatically - she went from confused to completely lucid within days post-operation.
As a pilot with newly diagnosed epilepsy, my career was grounded until Dr. Kulkarni's precise medication regimen achieved complete seizure control. After 2 years of monitoring, I've been cleared to fly commercially again at age 39.
Our 6-year-old with Dravet syndrome was having 50+ seizures weekly despite multiple medications. Dr. Kulkarni's initiation of cannabidiol therapy reduced seizures by 95% and dramatically improved her quality of life and development.
I developed Guillain-Barré syndrome and was completely paralyzed within days. Dr. Kulkarni's aggressive plasmapheresis treatment at Manipal Hospital reversed the paralysis, and I walked out of the hospital after 3 weeks of intensive therapy.
As a professional athlete with recurrent concussions, I was developing cognitive issues at 31. Dr. Kulkarni's comprehensive concussion management program including vestibular therapy and cognitive training got me back to competition safely with protective protocols.
My husband's Parkinson's disease was progressing rapidly until Dr. Kulkarni initiated apomorphine pump therapy. The continuous delivery system has stabilized his symptoms so effectively that he's resumed his woodworking hobby at 70.
