Patient Experience
After a near-fatal allergic reaction caused respiratory failure, Dr. Kasargod not only managed my emergency care but spent months identifying the obscure environmental trigger. His detective work uncovered a mold in my office building that nobody else would have found.
As a heart-lung transplant patient, my complex post-operative care required extraordinary coordination. Dr. Kasargod's 24/7 availability and seamless collaboration with my transplant team ensured my recovery surpassed all expectations. I'm celebrating three years with my new lungs today.
My 4-year-old daughter was terrified of doctors until we met Dr. Veena Yagna. She used a tiny flashlight shaped like a butterfly to examine her ears and spoke in such a gentle, playful way that my little one actually asked when we could visit again. She diagnosed a minor ear infection that others had missed and the treatment worked wonders.
As a 72-year-old with chronic sinusitis, I've seen many ENTs over the decades. Dr. Yagna's approach was different,she spent 45 minutes mapping my entire medical history before suggesting a minimally invasive procedure. Her post-op care was exceptional; she even called personally to check on me twice after surgery.
Emergency tonsillectomy at 2 AM! My son's breathing had become dangerously labored. Dr. Yagna rushed to Manipal Hospital and performed the surgery with incredible calmness. What stood out was how she explained every step to us terrified parents in the waiting room while simultaneously directing her team with precision.
I went for what I thought was a routine hearing test and left with a life-changing diagnosis. Dr. Yagna detected early signs of acoustic neuroma that every other doctor had overlooked. Her thoroughness and immediate referral to oncology likely saved my hearing and possibly my life.
After my complex thyroid surgery left me with vocal cord paralysis, I thought I'd never speak normally again. Dr. Yagna's innovative vocal cord augmentation procedure gave me back my voice. She worked with speech therapists to create a customized rehabilitation plan that exceeded all expectations.
My teenage son needed septoplasty after a sports injury. Dr. Yagna didn't just fix his nose,she understood the psychological impact on an athletic teenager. She scheduled appointments around his training sessions and even advised on safe return-to-play protocols that his coach appreciated.
As a professional singer, my vocal cords are my livelihood. When I developed persistent hoarseness, Dr. Yagna used advanced stroboscopy to diagnose minute vocal lesions. Her microsurgery technique preserved my vocal range perfectly, and her breathing exercises transformed my vocal endurance.
Dr. Yagna treated my 85-year-old mother for swallowing difficulties. Instead of immediately recommending invasive tests, she first taught us simple posture adjustments and dietary modifications that made an immediate difference. Her respectful approach to elderly care brought tears to my eyes.

After years of misdiagnosed dizziness, Dr. Yagna identified it as BPPV and performed the Epley maneuver right in her office. The immediate relief was miraculous. She even taught my husband how to perform the technique at home if symptoms returned.
My child's recurrent ear infections stopped completely after Dr. Yagna suggested adenoid removal. She used coblation technology that minimized bleeding and pain. The video she showed us explaining the procedure helped my child understand and feel less afraid.
I consulted Dr. Yagna for chronic snoring expecting the usual CPAP recommendation. Instead, she discovered a rare nasal valve collapse and performed functional rhinoplasty. My sleep quality has improved dramatically, and my wife finally gets rest too!
When my father's throat cancer returned, Dr. Yagna coordinated with oncologists to perform a precision laser resection that preserved his swallowing function. Her compassionate yet straightforward communication during this difficult time was exactly what our family needed.
As a foreign tourist with sudden hearing loss, I walked into Manipal Hospital desperate. Dr. Yagna arranged immediate treatment despite my insurance limitations and followed up daily during my recovery. Her generosity transcended professional obligation.
As an 82-year-old with multiple comorbidities, I was terrified when diagnosed with an incarcerated hernia. Dr. Venuprasad not only performed a flawless emergency surgery but visited me twice daily, patiently explaining each step to my anxious family. His calm demeanor during night rounds made all the difference in my recovery.
Our 7-year-old needed an appendectomy at midnight, and Dr. Venuprasad arrived within 20 minutes of being called. He knelt to our child's eye level, showed cartoon illustrations of the procedure, and even held her hand until anesthesia took effect. The minimally invasive scars are barely visible now!
After my complex gallbladder surgery got postponed twice elsewhere, Dr. Venuprasad accommodated me within 48 hours. His innovative single-incision technique left me with virtually no scarring, and his post-op nutrition advice completely resolved my digestive issues that had persisted for years.
