Dr. KSS Bhat

At 82, I was terrified of heart surgery. Dr. Bhat spent 45 minutes with my family and me, drawing diagrams to explain my aortic valve replacement. His confidence was contagious. Post-surgery, he personally called my daughter every evening with updates. Now I tend my garden daily - something I hadn't done in years. His bedside manner is as exceptional as his surgical skill.

Brought my 8-year-old son for a routine school sports physical. Dr. Bhat detected a subtle heart murmur others had missed. Instead of alarming us, he arranged for a pediatric cardiology consult within the same hospital. His gentle approach made my son comfortable throughout. Turned out to be a minor issue, but his thoroughness prevented potential complications later.

Complex triple bypass patient here. What impressed me most was Dr. Bhat's holistic approach - he coordinated with my diabetologist, physiotherapist, and nutritionist pre and post-op. His surgical precision is matched only by his comprehensive aftercare planning. Even at 3-month follow-up, he remembered minute details about my recovery progress.

Corporate executive with erratic schedule here. Dr. Bhat accommodated my late evening appointments without complaint. His diagnosis of stress-induced hypertension came with practical lifestyle modifications rather than just prescriptions. His 'heart health through balance' philosophy has transformed more than just my cardiac numbers.

Rushed to Manipal ER with crushing chest pain at 2 AM. Dr. KSS Bhat was called in emergently - his calm demeanor immediately eased my panic. Performed emergency angioplasty within the golden hour. His team worked like a well-oiled machine. Two stents later, I'm writing this review. He visited me twice daily during recovery, explaining every detail with remarkable patience.
