Patient Experience
As a professional gamer, my career was threatened by severe carpal tunnel syndrome that had progressed to nerve damage. Dr. KR Suresh Bapu performed an innovative minimally invasive procedure that not only relieved my symptoms but preserved the fine motor control essential for my profession. I was back competing internationally within 3 months.
Our 8-year-old daughter developed a rare arachnoid cyst that was causing vision problems and headaches. Dr. Bapu's compassionate approach with pediatric patients made all the difference - he used VR technology to explain the procedure to her. The successful endoscopic fenestration has given her a completely normal childhood.
After a terrible construction site accident, my husband arrived at SIMS Hospital with a depressed skull fracture and brain bleed. Dr. Bapu performed emergency surgery at 2 AM with incredible skill. His post-operative care and clear communication with our family during those critical days saved my husband's life and cognitive function.
As a 72-year-old with Parkinson's disease, I had resigned myself to declining mobility. Dr. Bapu recommended deep brain stimulation when medications stopped working. The transformation has been miraculous - I can walk steadily again and even play with my grandchildren without fear of falling.
Our teenage son developed a pituitary tumor that was affecting his growth and vision. Dr. Bapu's multidisciplinary approach involving endocrinologists and his precise endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery resulted in complete tumor removal with no hormonal deficits. Our son is now thriving in college.
I was a professional violinist diagnosed with a benign spinal tumor that threatened my ability to play. Dr. Bapu designed a custom surgical approach that preserved every critical nerve. Not only was the tumor completely removed, but I was performing again within 6 months with no loss of technique.
When my mother's chronic trigeminal neuralgia became unbearable despite all medications, Dr. Bapu performed microvascular decompression surgery. The immediate relief was profound - after years of suffering, she's now pain-free and rediscovering joy in simple things like eating and smiling.
As an athlete who suffered a cervical spine injury during competition, I faced potential paralysis. Dr. Bapu's emergency spinal stabilization surgery and subsequent rehabilitation plan allowed me to not only walk again but return to competitive sports within a year - a outcome we never dreamed possible.
Our newborn was diagnosed with craniosynostosis requiring complex cranial reconstruction. Dr. Bapu's expertise in pediatric neurosurgery and his gentle approach with our baby gave us confidence. The procedure was flawless, and our child's head shape is now perfectly normal with no developmental issues.
After surviving a brain aneurysm rupture, I struggled with anxiety about recurrence. Dr. Bapu not only performed successful coiling procedure but created a comprehensive follow-up plan and provided genuine emotional support throughout my recovery. His holistic approach to patient care is exceptional.
My wife developed a complex meningioma that multiple surgeons deemed inoperable due to its location. Dr. Bapu developed an innovative surgical approach using intraoperative navigation and monitoring. The complete resection was achieved with no neurological deficits - she's back teaching her kindergarten class.
As a dementia researcher myself, I recognized my own early cognitive changes. Dr. Bapu diagnosed normal pressure hydrocephalus and performed a shunt procedure. The 'brain bounce-back' was remarkable - I've returned to full research activities and published two papers since my recovery.
Our 16-year-old daughter suffered a severe TBI in a car accident with multiple brain hemorrhages. Dr. Bapu's decisive action in performing decompressive craniectomy saved her life. His ongoing rehabilitation guidance and support through her remarkable cognitive recovery has been extraordinary.
