Patient Experience
Routine cleaning turned into a discovery of early-stage gum disease. Dr. Ali didn't just treat it; he mapped out a preventive plan with me, demonstrating proper flossing techniques himself. It felt like a partnership, not just a appointment.
Complex wisdom tooth surgery, impacted and close to the nerve. Dr. Ali used 3D imaging to show me exactly what he'd do, and the procedure was flawless. Zero swelling, minimal pain. I've recommended him to three coworkers already.
Follow-up after a major implant procedure: Dr. Ali remembered personal details about my job and even asked about my daughter's recital. It’s rare to find a surgeon who combines technical excellence with such genuine human connection.
My teenager needed braces but was resistant. Dr. Ali spent 20 minutes discussing options WITH him (not just at him), and now my son is excited about Invisalign. This man understands how to engage young patients on their level.
Dr. sindhu paul kavalakkat provided exceptional care for my radiation oncology condition. The treatment was personalized and effective.
Severe tooth fracture from a fall, I thought I’d need an extraction. Dr. Ali salvaged it with an innovative bonding technique I’d never heard of. Two years later, the tooth is still perfect. He’s an artist with dental trauma.
As a nervous patient with a gag reflex, cleanings were my nightmare. Dr. Ali used distraction techniques and breaks without ever making me feel rushed. First time I didn’t panic in a dental chair in decades.
Full-mouth rehabilitation case: Dr. Ali coordinated with my periodontist and lab technician like a conductor. The timeline he provided was exact, and the results look better than my original teeth ever did.
My autistic son needed a filling. Dr. Ali dimmed the lights, used noise-canceling headphones, and worked at his pace. He didn’t just treat teeth; he treated my child’s comfort. We’ve found our forever dentist.
Discovered a suspicious lesion during a routine exam. Dr. Ali immediately performed a biopsy (which was painless) and followed up personally with results. His vigilance might have prevented something serious.
Traveled from Dubai specifically for Dr. Ali’s opinion on jaw surgery. His virtual consultation was so thorough that I booked the surgery immediately. The Manipal Hospital team made international coordination effortless.
Post-op infection after a procedure done elsewhere. Dr. Ali didn’t criticize the previous work, just focused on solving the problem with antibiotics and careful drainage. Humble and effective.
80-year-old mother with dementia kept removing her dentures. Dr. Ali designed a custom-fit implant-supported denture that she can’t remove accidentally. He solved what we thought was an unsolvable problem with creativity and compassion.
As a professional flutist, my career was jeopardized by a rare temporomandibular joint disorder that caused chronic pain and limited jaw movement. Dr. Vurakaranam performed a minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery with such precision that not only was my pain eliminated, but my embouchure improved. I'm now playing better than ever at 42.
My 8-year-old daughter had severe dental anxiety after a traumatic fall damaged her front teeth. Dr. Vurakaranam created a 'space adventure' narrative throughout her restorative surgery, using child-friendly language and allowing her to hold a 'moon rock' during the procedure. She now asks when she can visit her 'space dentist' again.
At 78, I needed full mouth rehabilitation but was concerned about my heart condition. Dr. Vurakaranam coordinated with my cardiologist to develop a phased treatment plan under monitored anesthesia. The custom-designed dentures feel completely natural, and I've rediscovered my love for apples and steak.
Our family of four all required different dental surgeries within months. Dr. Vurakaranam treated my son's impacted wisdom teeth, my daughter's corrective jaw surgery, my root canal, and my husband's dental implants. His ability to manage our entire family's diverse needs with personalized care was extraordinary.
As a professional athlete, I suffered a complex dental injury during a championship match that required immediate attention. Dr. Vurakaranam performed emergency microsurgery to save my teeth and crafted athletic mouthguards that actually improve my breathing during competition. I returned to play within weeks.
My 6-year-old autistic son needed multiple extractions but couldn't tolerate conventional dental approaches. Dr. Vurakaranam used sensory-adapted techniques, noise-canceling headphones, and gradual desensitization over several visits. The successful procedure was conducted without sedation, which we never thought possible.
I was so scared going in for my first diabetes check-up. My hands were literally shaking in the waiting room. Dr. Adarsh Ks just had this calm way about him—he explained everything in simple terms, didn't rush me, and by the end I actually felt like I could manage this. The whole 'lifestyle change' thing seems less terrifying now.
