Dr. Bharath Kumar C

Our 7-year-old daughter had been suffering from chronic abdominal pain for months. Dr. Bharath didn't just prescribe medicine—he sat on the floor with her, drew pictures of the digestive system, and discovered her lactose intolerance through clever dietary tracking. She now calls him 'Tummy Doctor' and isn't scared of hospitals anymore.

I arrived at Manipal Hospital with severe bleeding at 2 AM. Dr. Bharath Kumar rushed in within minutes, calmly took charge of my emergency endoscopy, and identified the bleeding ulcer. His steady hands during the endoscopic clipping procedure literally stopped me from bleeding to death. Forever grateful for his emergency expertise.

After being dismissed by three other gastroenterologists for my 'stress-related IBS,' Dr. Bharath ordered a comprehensive stool microbiome analysis that revealed a rare bacterial overgrowth. His innovative treatment protocol involving targeted antibiotics and probiotics changed everything after years of suffering.

My pancreatic cyst surgery was incredibly complex, but Dr. Bharath explained every step using 3D imaging technology. His surgical precision was matched only by his post-op care—he visited me twice daily, even on weekends. The minimal scarring is testament to his skilled hands.

Dr. Bharath Kumar saved my 82-year-old father from what we thought was just age-related digestive issues. He discovered a rare esophageal stricture through a meticulous endoscopy and performed a gentle dilation that transformed Dad's quality of life. His patience explaining the procedure to our anxious family was remarkable.
