Patient Experience
Rushed to Manipal Hospital at 2 AM with unexplained bleeding, Dr. Kalashetty diagnosed me with immune thrombocytopenia within hours. His team moved with incredible urgency yet maintained perfect professionalism. The way he coordinated between emergency staff and hematology department was nothing short of remarkable.
My routine blood work showed abnormal results, and my GP referred me to Dr. Kalashetty. What I thought would be a quick consultation turned into a thorough investigation that uncovered early-stage polycythemia vera. His proactive approach likely prevented serious complications down the road.
After being misdiagnosed twice elsewhere, Dr. Kalashetty correctly identified my rare paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

As a medical student shadowing in hematology, I witnessed Dr. Kalashetty's brilliant diagnostic mind at work. He diagnosed a case of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura that everyone else had missed, based on subtle schistocytes in the peripheral smear. His teaching style is both humble and profound.

My teenage son was terrified of his sickle cell crisis episodes until Dr. Kalashetty implemented a novel hydration and pain management protocol. He speaks to young patients with such respect and understanding - my son actually looks forward to his appointments now.
As someone with iron deficiency anemia that wasn't responding to treatment, Dr. Kalashetty discovered the underlying celiac disease that everyone had missed for years. His holistic approach to hematology considers the entire patient, not just the blood numbers.
The way Dr. Kalashetty explained my stem cell transplantation process - from mobilization to engraftment - made an incredibly complex procedure feel manageable. His team's post-transplant care and vigilance for GVHD have been outstanding throughout recovery.
I came to Dr. Kalashetty for a second opinion regarding my essential thrombocythemia and found his evidence-based approach refreshing. He didn't just follow standard protocols but tailored treatment based on my specific risk factors and lifestyle goals.
