Patient Experience
Dr. Keshava R saved my father's life during a massive heart attack at 2 AM. His calm demeanor while performing emergency angioplasty was incredible,we thought we'd lost Dad, but Dr. Keshava’s team worked miracles. Follow-up care has been thorough, with personalized diet plans and medication adjustments. Forever grateful!
As a new mom, I was terrified when my 6-month-old was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect. Dr. Keshava explained everything with such patience, using diagrams and even calming my baby during exams. The minimally invasive procedure he recommended was successful, and now my little one is thriving. He’s like a magician with stethoscopes!
I came in for a routine stress test and Dr. Keshava spotted an irregularity others had missed for years. His proactive approach led to early intervention,no surgery needed, just lifestyle changes and monitoring. His ability to listen without rushing made me feel truly cared for, not just like another patient.
After my triple bypass, Dr. Keshava visited me daily, even on weekends, to check my recovery. He remembered small details,like my fear of needles,and ensured the nurses used distraction techniques. His blend of expertise and empathy turned a scary experience into a journey of healing.
My 80-year-old mother, who hates hospitals, actually looks forward to seeing Dr. Keshava. He speaks to her in Kannada, jokes about her love for filter coffee, and carefully adjusts her meds considering her arthritis. He doesn’t just treat hearts; he treats people.
I was referred to Dr. Keshava for a second opinion after being told I needed open-heart surgery. He reviewed my scans and suggested a novel catheter-based alternative instead. Two years later, I’m hiking again,all thanks to his innovative thinking and willingness to challenge conventions.
During a follow-up, Dr. Keshava noticed my anxiety about financial costs and personally connected me with hospital support programs. He didn’t just heal my heart; he eased my mind. That level of compassion is rare in top specialists.
My teenage son, a basketball player, had an unexplained arrhythmia. Dr. Keshava worked with him to create a safe training plan while monitoring his condition. He spoke directly to my son, empowering him to understand his own health,no patronizing, just partnership.
After a complex aortic valve replacement, I developed a rare complication. Dr. Keshava coordinated with international experts overnight and stayed by my side until it was resolved. His dedication goes beyond hospital walls,he even followed up via video calls during my rural recovery.
I’ve had routine checkups with Dr. Keshava for a decade. He remembers every detail of my history without glancing at files and predicts my concerns before I voice them. It’s like having a cardiologist who’s also a mind reader,with a fantastic sense of humor!
When my wife had a cardiac arrest at home, Dr. Keshava’s team was prepped before we reached Manipal. His swift action with targeted hypothermia treatment prevented brain damage. Today, she’s back to painting, and we credit him entirely for her second chance.
As a skeptic of alternative medicine, I appreciated how Dr. Keshava integrated evidence-based yoga and meditation into my post-surgery rehab,without dismissing my preferences. He balances modern science with holistic wisdom flawlessly.
My first consultation with Dr. Keshava lasted 45 minutes; he drew timelines of my heart health future and involved me in every decision. No other doctor had ever made me feel so equipped to manage my own condition.
