Patient Experience
My 82-year-old father had been struggling with hearing loss for years and was becoming increasingly isolated. Dr. Vijay Rangachari not only fitted him with the perfect hearing aids but took the time to teach him (and us) how to use them properly. His patience with elderly patients is remarkable - he never rushed us through appointments and always explained things in simple terms. Dad can now participate in family conversations again!
We brought our 4-year-old to Dr. Rangachari after she kept getting ear infections from swimming. He was amazing with children - used cartoon illustrations to explain what was happening and made the examination feel like a game. Recommended preventive eardrops and proper swimming techniques. Six months later, no more infections!
Emergency tonsillectomy at 2 AM! I woke up choking on blood from a tonsillar bleed. Dr. Rangachari met us at Manipal Hospital within 30 minutes. Calm, decisive, and incredibly skilled - stopped the bleeding and performed surgery immediately. His emergency care saved me from a dangerous situation.

My teenager needed ear tube placement after chronic ear infections affected his school performance. Dr. Rangachari explained the procedure to my son like he was talking to an adult - gained his trust immediately. Quick procedure, minimal discomfort, and fantastic results. School attendance perfect since!
Foreign object removal from a child's nose (a small toy bead!). Dr. Rangachari handled the terrified 5-year-old with such skill and calmness that the child stopped crying within minutes. Used special pediatric instruments and distraction techniques. No anesthesia needed!
Vertigo treatment for my mother that other doctors had misdiagnosed as anxiety. Dr. Rangachari identified it as BPPV within minutes and performed the Epley maneuver right in his office. Life-changing treatment - she's been symptom-free for months now.
Voice therapy follow-up for a professional singer with vocal nodules. Dr. Rangachari's collaborative approach with speech therapists and his understanding of vocal mechanics helped me recover completely. Back to performing without any strain!
