Patient Experience
As a Himalayan mountaineer, I developed high-altitude cerebral edema during an expedition. Medevaced to Manipal, Dr. Roy used hyperbaric oxygen therapy combined with targeted hypothermia. His understanding of altitude neurology saved not just my life but my cognitive function. I've since completed two more expeditions with his preventive protocol.
As a ******* patient, I was nervous about gynecological care, but Dr. Rao treated me with utmost respect and dignity. She educated herself about my specific needs beforehand and created the most inclusive healthcare experience I've ever had.
My 13-year-old son developed narcolepsy with cataplexy that made him collapse when laughing. Dr. Roy prescribed a novel combination of wake-promoting agents and scheduled napping protocol synchronized with school hours. He worked directly with our school to create a supportive environment. My son now attends full days and even joined the drama club.
After a car accident left me with occipital neuralgia, I suffered blinding headaches for years. Dr. Roy performed percutaneous nerve stimulation implantation - a procedure so new I was his first patient. The device modulates pain signals before they reach my brain. I've reduced medication by 80% and returned to driving.
Our 6-month-old daughter was diagnosed with infantile spasms. Dr. Roy initiated a vigorous protocol including hormonal therapy within hours of diagnosis. His team provided 24/7 video monitoring and taught us seizure recognition. She achieved seizure freedom in 11 days and shows normal developmental milestones at 18 months.
As a professional translator speaking 7 languages, I developed primary progressive aphasia. Dr. Roy designed a cognitive preservation program using multilingual therapy that exercises different language centers. My decline has stabilized remarkably, and I continue working part-time 2 years post-diagnosis.
My husband developed Guillain-Barré syndrome and was completely paralyzed. Dr. Roy combined IV immunoglobulin with an early mobilization protocol using robotic exoskeletons. The day he took his first assisted steps, the entire neurology team applauded. He now walks with a cane and returned to his engineering job.
At 31, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis during my first pregnancy. Dr. Roy coordinated with obstetricians to create a safe treatment plan that protected both me and my baby. He adjusted medications throughout each trimester and managed my delivery neurologically. My daughter is perfectly healthy, and my MS remains stable.
My 82-year-old father was struggling with severe Parkinson's tremors that made daily life impossible. Dr. Krishnan didn't just adjust medications, he spent an hour understanding Dad's specific challenges with eating and dressing. His customized treatment plan combined medication timing with practical lifestyle adjustments that actually worked. The compassion he showed my father brought tears to my eyes.
When our 8-year-old daughter started having unexplained seizures, we were terrified. Dr. Krishnan's calm demeanor immediately put us at ease. He explained complex neurological concepts in simple terms and involved our daughter in her own care decisions. His team at Manipal coordinated perfectly for her EEG, and his follow-up calls on weekends showed incredible dedication.
Rushed to ER at 2 AM with a suspected stroke, Dr. Krishnan was there within 20 minutes. His decisive action in ordering immediate MRI and starting thrombolysis saved my husband's mobility. What impressed me most was how he explained every step to our frightened family while simultaneously directing the medical team with absolute precision.
As a software engineer with chronic migraines, I'd seen multiple neurologists without relief. Dr. Krishnan took a completely different approach, he analyzed my screen time patterns, sleep cycle, and even my caffeine intake. His holistic treatment plan involving targeted medication and lifestyle modifications finally gave me my life back after 5 years of suffering.
My mother's complex brain aneurysm surgery was handled brilliantly by Dr. Krishnan. He spent 45 minutes with our family explaining the risks and alternatives without rushing us. During the 6-hour surgery, he provided updates every 90 minutes. His surgical skill combined with his human touch makes him extraordinary.
Came for what I thought would be a routine follow-up for my epilepsy medication. Dr. Krishnan noticed subtle changes in my speech pattern that even I hadn't recognized and ordered additional tests that revealed a new development needing immediate attention. His attention to detail is literally life-saving.
Flying specially from Dubai for my wife's rare neurological condition, we were skeptical until our first consultation. Dr. Krishnan had researched her case thoroughly beforehand and presented three treatment options with clear pros and cons. His international experience and cutting-edge knowledge gave us hope we hadn't found elsewhere.
My teenage son's sports concussion seemed minor until Dr. Krishnan identified concerning symptoms others had missed. His conservative approach to recovery, emphasizing cognitive rest over quick return to school, prevented what could have been long-term complications. His patience with teenagers is remarkable.
Managing my multiple sclerosis for 15 years, I've never had a neurologist like Dr. Krishnan. He doesn't just treat the disease, he treats the person. He coordinates with my physiotherapist, recommends specific exercises, and even suggested dietary changes that have significantly improved my quality of life.
Emergency nerve decompression surgery at midnight, Dr. Krishnan came in without hesitation when my husband developed sudden cauda equina syndrome. His surgical expertise prevented permanent disability, and his post-op care involved innovative pain management techniques that minimized opioid use.
As a medical student myself, I particularly appreciate Dr. Krishnan's teaching approach. He explains the 'why' behind every decision and involves patients in the thought process. My grandmother's dementia management has been transformed by his innovative combination of medication and cognitive exercises.
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.
