Patient Experience
I visited with chronic knee pain that multiple doctors couldn't diagnose. Dr. Yashwanth's ultrasound revealed a rare tendon issue that even I could see clearly on the monitor. His ability to correlate imaging findings with clinical symptoms is exceptional.
When my father had a stroke, Dr. Yashwanth performed the CT angiography within minutes of arrival. His rapid yet accurate assessment allowed the neurology team to administer thrombolytics in the golden hour. His efficiency during that crisis was awe-inspiring.
As a physician myself, I appreciate Dr. Yashwanth's detailed reports that include differential diagnoses and recommendations. His interdisciplinary approach makes him an invaluable consultant. He once called me personally to discuss a puzzling case at 8 PM.
My 6-year-old daughter needed a neck ultrasound for swollen glands. Dr. Yashwanth turned the procedure into a game, calling the transducer a 'magic camera.' He showed her the images afterward and drew smiley faces on the report copy he gave her. Pure magic!
After a car accident, my whole-body CT scan could have been overwhelming, but Dr. Yashwanth systematically explained each finding, from minor fractures to organ contusions. His comprehensive approach ensured nothing was missed in my trauma evaluation.
I've been seeing Dr. Yashwanth for annual health check-ups for five years. He remembers my medical history and always compares new images with old ones himself. His continuity of care makes me feel truly known as a patient.
When my ultrasound showed an unexpected liver mass, Dr. Yashwanth didn't just report it,he arranged for an immediate MRI consultation and walked me to the scheduling desk. His compassion during that scary moment meant everything.

34-year pregnant woman at 28 weeks gestation presented with peripartum cardiomyopathy.

81-year-old retired farmer from rural Karnataka was transported emergently with complete heart block and profound bradycardia.

7-year-old child from an upper-middle-class family was diagnosed with congenital coronary artery fistula during a routine checkup.

63-year-old diabetic street vendor with critical limb ischemia and coronary artery disease was treated with simultaneous peripheral angioplasty and coronary intervention in a single session. Dr. Yeriswamy arranged for extended follow-up through mobile clinic visits, resulting in salvaged limb function and improved cardiac status over 6 months, with no family support available.
52-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer developed chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy. Dr. Yeriswamy collaborated with oncologists to implement cardioprotective strategies while continuing cancer treatment, achieving stable cardiac function without interrupting chemotherapy, with support from a cancer support group rather than family.
29-year-old immigrant construction worker from Bangladesh presented with advanced rheumatic heart disease and severe mitral stenosis.

67-year-old retired army officer with complex cardiac sarcoidosis and recurrent ventricular arrhythmias received a combination of immunosuppressive therapy and advanced catheter ablation.
