Dr. Guruprasad S Bhat

My 82-year-old grandmother's chronic COPD took a sudden turn when she developed pneumonia. Dr. Bhat's emergency intervention at Manipal Hospital involved a novel non-invasive ventilation protocol that avoided ICU admission. His compassionate follow-up care through teleconsultation transformed her quality of life dramatically.

Our 7-year-old daughter had been misdiagnosed with asthma for years until Dr. Bhat identified tracheomalacia through advanced bronchoscopy. His gentle manner with children and precise surgical correction gave our daughter her first symptom-free monsoon season in memory.

As a mountaineer preparing for Everest, I discovered I had high-altitude pulmonary edema susceptibility. Dr. Bhat developed a unique pre-acclimatization regimen and monitoring system that allowed me to successfully summit while managing my condition proactively.

After surviving COVID-19 with severe lung damage, I was told I'd never regain normal lung function. Dr. Bhat's cutting-edge pulmonary rehabilitation program incorporating respiratory muscle training and personalized medication brought me from 40% to 85% lung capacity in six months.

As a 28-year-old professional freediver, I developed mysterious breathing difficulties after deep dives. Dr. Guruprasad's innovative approach combining pulmonary function tests with simulated pressure environments uncovered a rare form of diving-related bronchospasm. His tailored treatment plan allowed me to return to my passion safely within three months.
