Dr. Keshava R

My 82-year-old father was rushed to Manipal with severe chest pain, and Dr. Keshava R. was nothing short of miraculous. He calmly explained the blocked artery situation, performed an angioplasty within the golden hour, and even followed up at our home to adjust medications. His humility and expertise gave our family immense peace.

As a new mom, I panicked when my 6-year-old daughter had an abnormal ECG during a school checkup. Dr. Keshava didn’t dismiss it as ‘just anxiety’, he spent an hour engaging her with cartoon-themed stethoscopes and discovered a minor congenital issue. We’re now on a monitoring plan, and my child calls him 'the heart superhero.'

I walked into Manipal for a routine cholesterol follow-up, but Dr. Keshava’s sharp eye caught subtle EKG changes others had missed for years. He coordinated same-day blood tests and a stress echo, uncovering a silent ischemia. His proactive approach likely saved me from a major cardiac event.

Post-bypass surgery, I was terrified of complications, but Dr. Keshava’s team used a digital health app to track my vitals remotely. He’d video-call me every evening for two weeks, adjusting dosages based on real-time data. It felt like having a cardiologist in my pocket!

I’m a fitness enthusiast with a family history of heart disease. Instead of brushing off my concerns, Dr. Keshava ordered a coronary calcium scan and genetic testing. He designed a personalized prevention plan involving diet, exercise, and periodic monitoring, no unnecessary meds, just science-backed care.
