Dr. Nagarjun Maulyavantham Nagaraj Reviews

Dr. Nagaraj performed a delicate craniotomy on my 82-year-old mother to remove a meningioma. His patience explaining the risks in Kannada made us comfortable, and his post-op care at Manipal was exceptional—she's knitting again like nothing happened!

Our 7-year-old son fell from a tree and developed an acute subdural hematoma. Dr. Nagaraj rushed to the hospital at midnight, performed emergency surgery, and even comforted us with stories of his own adventurous childhood. Our boy is back to climbing (with supervision now)!

After years of debilitating trigeminal neuralgia, Dr. Nagaraj suggested MVD surgery. His calm demeanor during pre-op consultations and the precision of his technique gave me hope. I've had my first pain-free meal in a decade!

Routine MRI revealed a small pituitary adenoma. Dr. Nagaraj explained everything with 3D models, avoided surgery with medication management, and his follow-up calls feel like chatting with a wise friend rather than a doctor.

Complex Chiari malformation decompression—Dr. Nagaraj’s hands are blessed! He used intraoperative neuromonitoring and spent 45 minutes post-op drawing diagrams to show my family exactly what was corrected. No more chronic headaches!

My wife’s glioblastoma surgery was emotionally devastating, but Dr. Nagaraj’s honest yet compassionate approach—including connecting us with support groups—made the journey bearable. He remembers small details about our family every follow-up.

Emergency spinal discectomy after I collapsed at work. Dr. Nagaraj’s team moved like a well-oiled machine at Manipal Jayanagar. He joked about my MRI looking like ‘a grapefruit in a noodle’ to lighten the mood before surgery.

Pediatric epilepsy case: Our daughter’s VNS implantation was handled with such gentleness. Dr. Nagaraj used dinosaur bandages and showed her the device on his tablet as ‘a tiny heartbeat helper’. Seizures reduced by 80%!

Follow-up for cervical spondylosis: Instead of rushing, he spent 20 minutes teaching me neck exercises himself. His prescription included ‘daily laughter and less phone scrolling’ alongside medications!

Complex brachial plexus injury from a car accident. Dr. Nagaraj coordinated with plastic surgeons and physiotherapists for a year-long recovery plan. His handwritten progress notes feel like personal letters.

Elderly patient with normal pressure hydrocephalus: The shunt surgery gave my father back his mobility and memory. Dr. Nagaraj still checks on him during Diwali with a box of sugar-free sweets!

Teenager with spinal cord tumor: Dr. Nagaraj involved my son in every decision, explaining anatomy using VR headsets. The surgery left him with minimal scarring and maximum confidence!

Rare case of arachnoid cyst—Dr. Nagaraj consulted internationally but refused to operate until absolutely necessary. His ‘wait and watch’ approach saved me from unnecessary surgery!

Follow-up after lumbar laminectomy: He noticed my anxiety about scar healing and personally demonstrated massage techniques. His nurse later told me he researches every patient’s occupation to better understand their lifestyle needs!
