Patient Experience
Dr. Aravinda Sathish saved my life during an ectopic pregnancy emergency at Manipal Hospital Doddaballapur. Her calm demeanor and swift decision-making during surgery were remarkable. She personally checked on me every 4 hours during recovery - a true guardian angel.
As a 72-year-old with complex gynecological issues, I was terrified of surgery. Dr. Sathish spent 45 minutes explaining the procedure in simple terms and held my hand until anesthesia took effect. Her post-op care was equally compassionate - she's redefined elderly care.
My teenage daughter was suffering from severe PCOS and depression. Dr. Sathish didn't just prescribe medication - she became a mentor, explaining hormonal changes with beautiful analogies and creating a holistic treatment plan that transformed my daughter's confidence.
After three miscarriages, we'd almost given up hope. Dr. Sathish's innovative approach to recurrent pregnancy loss included cutting-edge genetic testing and personalized progesterone therapy. She cried with us when our sonogram showed a healthy heartbeat at 12 weeks.
I traveled from Hyderabad specifically for Dr. Sathish's expertise in complex fibroid removal. Her minimally invasive technique meant I was back to teaching within 10 days. The detailed surgical photographs she provided were fascinating - she's an artist with the laparoscope.
My routine pap smear turned into a life-saving intervention when Dr. Sathish detected abnormal cells others had missed. Her thorough colposcopy and gentle biopsy technique made an anxious process bearable. Early detection thanks to her eagle eyes!
Dr. Sathish managed my high-risk twin pregnancy with incredible precision. She created color-coded charts tracking each baby's growth and never rushed our weekly appointments. When we needed an emergency C-section at 34 weeks, her team moved like a well-rehearsed orchestra.
My 8-year-old daughter needed gynecological care after an accident. Dr. Sathish used puppet shows to explain procedures and had a special child-sized examination table. She turned a traumatic experience into an empowering one - my daughter now wants to be a doctor!
Post-menopausal bleeding had me worried, but Dr. Sathish's comprehensive approach included nutritional counseling and bone density scans alongside endometrial sampling. She treats the whole person, not just the symptoms - a rare quality in specialists.
I underwent fertility treatments with Dr. Sathish for two years. Her honest conversations about probabilities and alternatives never gave false hope, yet maintained optimism. When IVF finally succeeded, she was the first person we called after family.
Emergency ovarian torsion at 2 AM - Dr. Sathish arrived at the hospital within 20 minutes of being called. Her surgical skill saved my ovary, and her post-op care included meditation techniques for pain management. She's available round the clock with genuine concern.
My follow-up visits for endometriosis with Dr. Sathish feel like catching up with a wise friend who happens to be a medical genius. She remembers details from years ago and adjusts treatment based on life changes - not just textbook protocols.
Dr. Sathish performed my mother's complex hysterectomy when three other surgeons had refused due to her heart condition. The multidisciplinary approach involving cardiologists was seamless. At 82, my mother recovered better than from any previous surgery.
As a transgender patient seeking hysterectomy, I faced judgment everywhere until meeting Dr. Sathish. She educated herself on specific needs, used correct pronouns without prompting, and provided the most respectful care I've ever experienced in healthcare.
