Dr. Raghuraj Hegde Reviews

As an 82-year-old with rapidly deteriorating vision, I was terrified of losing my independence. Dr. Hegde not only performed a flawless cataract surgery but patiently explained each step to my daughter and me in Kannada. His gentle manner made me feel safe, and now I can read my newspaper again without squinting!

Our 6-year-old daughter developed a sudden fear of light and was rubbing her eyes constantly. Dr. Hegde was magical with children - he used cartoon illustrations to explain the eye exam and discovered allergic conjunctivitis. His treatment worked within days, and she now calls him 'the nice eye uncle'.

I came to Dr. Hegde as an emergency case after a chemical splash at my factory. His team acted swiftly, irrigating my eye for what felt like hours. Dr. Hegde stayed late to monitor me personally, and his expertise saved my vision from what could have been permanent damage.

After years of struggling with progressive glasses, I opted for LASIK with Dr. Hegde. His thorough pre-operative testing revealed my corneas were thinner than average, so he recommended PRK instead. His honesty about the longer recovery time earned my trust, and now I wake up seeing clearly!

My diabetic retinopathy required complex vitrectomy surgery. Dr. Hegde's surgical skill is matched only by his compassion - he called my wife twice during my recovery to check on me. The procedure stabilized my vision when three other doctors had given me pessimistic outlooks.

As a software engineer with chronic dry eyes, I'd seen multiple ophthalmologists without relief. Dr. Hegde spent 45 minutes analyzing my screen time habits and work environment, creating a customized treatment plan that actually works. He understands modern lifestyle challenges!

My 15-year-old needed emergency care after a cricket ball injury that caused hyphema. Dr. Hegde managed the situation with incredible calmness, explaining the risks without alarming us. His follow-up care was meticulous - we had Sunday appointments to monitor the pressure changes.

For my routine glaucoma checkup, Dr. Hegde detected early changes that previous doctors had missed. His state-of-the-art imaging equipment and sharp clinical eye caught the progression before any vision loss occurred. Preventive care at its finest!

After my retinal detachment surgery, Dr. Hegde provided his personal number for after-hours concerns. When I experienced unusual floaters at midnight, he answered immediately and guided me through what to watch for. That level of dedication is rare nowadays.

My mother's macular degeneration treatment required monthly injections. Dr. Hegde's technique is so gentle she barely feels them, and he always remembers to ask about her garden - making the clinical experience feel personal and caring.

As a truck driver with color vision deficiency, I needed certification. Dr. Hegde didn't just test me; he educated me about adaptive strategies and safety measures specific to my profession. He cares about patients' livelihoods, not just their eyes.

My complex corneal transplant was scheduled during the pandemic. Dr. Hegde's team implemented flawless safety protocols while maintaining compassionate care. The surgery was successful, and I felt protected throughout the process.

For my child's congenital cataract, Dr. Hegde coordinated with pediatric anesthesiologists and created a child-friendly pre-op experience. His post-operative care included play-based vision therapy recommendations that made recovery easier for our toddler.
