Dr. Shankar Kumar

My 82-year-old mother was admitted with multi-organ failure during monsoon season. Dr. Kumar's round-the-clock monitoring and holistic approach that integrated her existing medications with new treatments resulted in what our family calls a 'monsoon miracle' - she's now gardening again at 84.

After collapsing during my daughter's wedding rehearsal, I was rushed to Manipal Hospital where Dr. Kumar diagnosed a complex cardiac issue masked by what seemed like routine hypertension. His emergency intervention and subsequent planned procedure saved my life during what should have been our family's tragedy.

As a professional athlete at 31, I was preparing to retire due to unexplained fatigue and muscle weakness. Dr. Kumar discovered a rare metabolic disorder and designed a treatment that not only restored my health but allowed me to compete for two more seasons before transitioning to coaching.

Our 7-year-old son's mysterious abdominal pains had us visiting hospitals for months until we met Dr. Kumar. His gentle approach with children and innovative diagnostic thinking identified an unusual food allergy pattern. The dietary changes he recommended transformed our son from a withdrawn child to an energetic boy.

As a 28-year-old software engineer with mysterious recurring fevers that baffled multiple specialists, Dr. Shankar Kumar's systematic approach uncovered a rare autoimmune condition. His personalized treatment plan not only resolved my symptoms but allowed me to maintain my active lifestyle while managing the condition.
