Dr. Bopanna KM

When our 7-year-old daughter started having unexplained seizures, we were terrified. Dr. Bopanna's team at Manipal Hospital conducted the most thorough testing we've ever seen. He knelt down to speak directly to our daughter at eye level and used toy models to explain what was happening. His pediatric approach made all the difference in her successful minimally invasive surgery.

I came in for what I thought was a routine follow-up for my previous spinal surgery, but Dr. Bopanna noticed subtle changes in my gait that even I hadn't recognized. His sharp observation led to early detection of a complication that could have been disastrous. This man doesn't just treat charts - he truly sees his patients.

Emergency medevac from Coorg with a traumatic head injury - I don't remember much but my wife tells me Dr. Bopanna came in at 2 AM and stayed until I was stable. His surgical precision saved me from what could have been permanent disability. The way he continues to follow up personally, not through assistants, shows extraordinary dedication.

As a medical student observing surgeries, I've never seen anyone handle a microvascular decompression with such elegant precision. Dr. Bopanna's technique during my observation rotation was like watching an artist at work. He even took time to explain each step to me - an incredible teacher as well as surgeon.

My 82-year-old father was diagnosed with a complex brain aneurysm that three other surgeons deemed inoperable. Dr. Bopanna KM not only took the case but explained everything in simple terms we could understand. His calm demeanor during the 9-hour surgery gave us hope. Two years later, Dad is gardening and remembering all his grandchildren's names. We call Dr. Bopanna our miracle worker.
