Dr. T Seetam Kumar Reviews

My 82-year-old father had a sudden carotid artery blockage and couldn't speak properly. Dr. T Seetam Kumar performed an emergency thrombectomy at 2 AM with such precision - within hours Dad was forming sentences again. The way he explained the procedure to our frightened family while prepping for surgery showed incredible compassion.

As a 34-year-old with a rare spinal AVM, I'd consulted six specialists before finding Dr. Kumar. His innovative embolization technique avoided open surgery entirely. Three months post-procedure, I'm hiking again - something I hadn't done in five years. His team at Manipal made me feel like family throughout recovery. (Patient of Dr. Seetam)

Brought my 8-year-old daughter for a cerebral angiogram after she started having unexplained seizures. Dr. Kumar had this magical way of making her laugh while explaining the 'space camera' that would take pictures of her brain. Found the tiny vascular malformation causing her issues and fixed it minimally invasively. She calls him 'the brain fixer doctor'. (Patient of Dr. Seetam)

Routine screening revealed an unruptured brain aneurysm. Dr. Kumar's calm demeanor while discussing coil embolization options made a terrifying diagnosis manageable. His detailed 3D models showing exactly how he'd secure the aneurysm gave me confidence to proceed. Six-month follow-up shows perfect results - I can sleep peacefully now. (Patient of Dr. Seetam)

Emergency transfer from another hospital with a ruptured cerebral aneurysm. Dr. Kumar's team was waiting when I arrived unconscious. My wife says he personally updated her every 30 minutes during the 5-hour emergency coiling procedure. Woke up with no neurological deficits - medical miracle workers at Manipal Bhubaneswar. (Patient of Dr. Seetam)

Chronic leg pain from peripheral artery disease had me wheelchair-bound at 68. Dr. Kumar's angioplasty and stenting procedure felt like getting my life back. He followed up personally for three months, adjusting medications until I could walk my granddaughter to school again. His dedication extends far beyond the procedure room. (Patient of Dr. Seetam)

Complex dural arteriovenous fistula that multiple doctors called inoperable. Dr. Kumar spent weeks studying my case and developed a combined endovascular approach I'd never heard of. The 7-hour procedure was successful, and he visited twice daily during recovery, often after normal hours. This man doesn't know the meaning of 'impossible'. (Patient of Dr. Seetam)

Follow-up visit after stroke treatment - Dr. Kumar remembered not just my medical history but that I was worried about my daughter's college exams. That personal touch matters when you're recovering from something traumatic. His vascular neurology knowledge is matched only by his human connection skills. (Patient of Dr. Seetam)

My teenage son's arteriovenous malformation required staged embolization over several months. Dr. Kumar coordinated with our local doctors, handled insurance paperwork personally, and even video-called when we couldn't travel during monsoon season. Went above and beyond at every turn. (Patient of Dr. Seetam)

Rushed to ER with sudden vision loss - diagnosis was retinal artery occlusion. Dr. Kumar performed emergency intra-arterial thrombolysis within the golden hour. Regained 90% vision because he acted so decisively. His interventional radiology team works with military precision when seconds count. (Patient of Dr. Seetam)

Living with a cavernous hemangioma for years, told to just 'monitor it'. Dr. Kumar proposed a novel radiosurgery approach that other specialists hadn't considered. The precision targeting spared surrounding tissue completely. Sometimes you need someone who thinks differently about complex problems. (Patient of Dr. Seetam)

Post-operative checkup after vertebral artery stent placement. Dr. Kumar noticed subtle symptoms others might miss and ordered additional imaging that revealed a developing complication. His vigilance prevented what could have been a disastrous outcome. This level of attention to detail is rare. (Patient of Dr. Seetam)

Brought my mother from our village for what we thought was dementia. Dr. Kumar identified it as normal pressure hydrocephalus from vascular issues. The shunt procedure he performed gave us back the mother we knew. He treats the person, not just the scan results. (Patient of Dr. Seetam)

Workup for transient ischemic attacks revealed moyamoya disease - a diagnosis that terrified me. Dr. Kumar's direct yet gentle explanation of the bypass procedure, using simple analogies about road detours, made me feel empowered rather than frightened. His patient education approach is as skilled as his surgical technique. (Patient of Dr. Seetam)
