Dr. Praveen Kumar

Brought my 5-year-old in for persistent wheezing that other doctors dismissed as 'just a cold.' Dr. Kumar immediately identified it as childhood asthma and created a child-friendly management plan. He knelt down to my son's level and showed him how the spirometer worked using bubble analogies. We finally have answers after months of worry!

Emergency bronchoscopy at 2 AM - Dr. Kumar arrived within 20 minutes of being called. I was choking on a piece of food that got lodged deep in my airway. His calm precision during the procedure and his follow-up care the next day were exceptional. He even checked on me personally every few hours post-op.

Routine pulmonary function test turned into a life-saving intervention when Dr. Kumar noticed subtle patterns others had missed for years. Diagnosed my rare interstitial lung disease and started treatment before significant damage occurred. His attention to detail is unmatched in pulmonary medicine.

Complex lung decortication surgery - Dr. Kumar explained the 4-hour procedure using 3D models and videos. His surgical team was flawless, and his post-op care included daily bedside visits even on weekends. My recovery exceeded all expectations thanks to his innovative techniques.

My 78-year-old father was struggling with severe COPD and multiple specialists had given up hope. Dr. Praveen Kumar at Manipal Hospital Whitefield not only stabilized him but created a personalized pulmonary rehab plan. His compassionate approach and willingness to explain every detail to our family made all the difference. Dad is now breathing easier and even tending to his small garden again.
