Patient Experience

My 82-year-old mother's sudden confusion led us to Manipal Hospital where Dr. Lakshmikantha performed an emergency CT scan. His immediate detection of a small brain bleed and clear communication with neurosurgeons saved her life - she's now back to her sharp-witted self.

After a serious car accident, the trauma team relied on Dr. Lakshmikantha's rapid interpretation of my whole-body CT scan. His identification of internal injuries I couldn't feel prevented catastrophic complications during my recovery.
As a professional athlete with a recurring shoulder injury, Dr. Lakshmikantha's musculoskeletal ultrasound guidance provided such precise imaging that my surgeon could repair the exact damaged tissue. I returned to competition three months ahead of schedule.
During my pregnancy, Dr. Lakshmikantha's fetal MRI revealed a correctable congenital condition. His thorough analysis and consultation with my OB-GYN allowed for planned neonatal surgery immediately after birth - our daughter is now perfectly healthy.
My husband's routine screening mammogram
As medical tourists from overseas, we sought Dr. Lakshmikantha's second opinion on our son's complex spinal images. His innovative 3D reconstruction revealed details previous radiologists missed, completely changing the surgical approach and outcome.
When traditional imaging couldn't explain my chronic abdominal pain, Dr. Lakshmikantha suggested an experimental MR enterography protocol. His persistence identified rare intestinal adhesions that surgery successfully resolved after years of suffering.
After my father's stroke, Dr. Lakshmikantha's perfusion CT analysis precisely mapped the salvageable brain tissue. His real-time collaboration with the stroke team guided life-saving thrombectomy within the critical window.
As a cancer survivor needing ongoing surveillance, Dr. Lakshmikantha's PET-CT interpretations have consistently balanced sensitivity with avoiding false alarms. His thoughtful approach has spared me unnecessary procedures while ensuring early detection of any recurrence.
During a complicated kidney stone procedure, Dr. Lakshmikantha's fluoroscopy guidance was so precise that the urologist completed the operation in half the expected time with minimal discomfort and faster recovery.
My teenage daughter's sports injury appeared minor until Dr. Lakshmikantha's musculoskeletal ultrasound detected a partial tendon tear that would have worsened without immediate intervention. His expertise prevented a season-ending injury.
When my wife's breast cancer screening showed dense tissue, Dr. Lakshmikantha recommended supplemental automated breast ultrasound. His detection of an early tumor invisible on mammogram likely saved her life - we're forever grateful.
As parents of a child with rare genetic syndrome, Dr. Lakshmikantha's serial MRI tracking of disease progression has provided invaluable data for our international medical team. His compassionate care makes each scan less stressful for our entire family.
