Dr. K Kartik Revanappa

As patients, we often tend to make decisions at the last moment, especially when it comes to surgery. In my case, it was Dr. Karthik who helped me understand my condition, evaluate my options, and make an informed decision by clearly explaining the pros, cons, and possible outcomes. I had been dealing with an L4-L5 disc bulge since 2021, which started after weight lifting with incorrect posture and without proper guidance. With medication and limited physical activity, I was able to manage my day-to-day life for several years. However, in July 2026, the pain became significantly worse. I struggled to walk straight and experienced considerable pain in my lower back and buttock. After X-rays and an MRI, it was found that there was significant disc protrusion between L4 and L5, causing compression that required further intervention. Dr. Karthik took the time to explain the condition and helped me understand why surgery was being considered and what I could expect from it. With his guidance, I was able to make the right decision to undergo minimally invasive spine decompression surgery. Today, just two weeks after the surgery, I am able to walk comfortably without the earlier discomfort and am recovering well from the post-surgery pain. A spine surgery can be frightening, and like many patients, I had my own fears and concerns. Having a doctor who patiently explains the situation and guides you towards the right solution makes a huge difference. Thank you, Dr. Karthik, for your guidance, support, and for helping me make the right decision for my recovery.

I've been suffering from low back pain since 20y. Was too scared to undergo a surgery as it was complicated. But after I met Dr. Kartik sir, the way he explained and gave me confidence* * ** ** * The most satisfying experience with to the point and all round care. His instructions post operative are also very easy to follow and very helpful and help in speedy recovery. I've referred 3 more of my friends to him and they all have the same openion.

Dr. Adoor Gurucharan treated my mother through these months and eventually referred us to Dr. Kartik Revanappa, given the MRI results. Dr. Kartik came across highly knowledgeable, experienced, and extremely empathatic. Dr. Kartik's team too replicates his principles of care and empathy. My mother underwent a 5 hour long surgery on her spine with 4 screws being placed on Feb 10, 2026. Now it has been 6 months post surgery. My mother has NO pain through these months and is able to walk a reasonable distance confidently. She is able to manage her personal work at home, on her own. Extremely grateful to Dr.Adoor Gurucharan for referring us to Dr. Kartik Revanappa. Thanking Dr. Karthik Revanappa in abundance and wishing him to continue such amazing contribution towards the wellness in the society.

I had disc bulge and disc degeneration (L5-S1) for over a decade with multiple episodes of severe back pain. I had developed leg pain over the past six months that became so excruciating that I was unable to stand or walk for more than a few minutes. I am a 31-year-old working woman, and this completely disrupted my personal and professional life. While I consulted several doctors, tried medication and physiotherapy, it was all in vain, until I consulted Dr. Kartik Revanappa and realized the severity of my condition. Dr. Kartik explained that the disc was severely compressing my nerves at the L5-S1 level, and advised for a lumbar decompression surgery to relieve the pressure. He patiently explained the entire procedure to me with all details and stages of recovery. He was available to answer my queries at all hours, both before and after the surgery. I was admitted to Apollo Hospital Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore, the day before the surgery; the staff at Apollo were polite and caring. I was able to walk within a few hours after the surgery, and it felt almost surreal to not have any leg pain after spending months in agony. Like many people, I was apprehensive about spine surgery, but having the surgery has completely changed my life for the better. I am glad to have had Dr. Kartik as my doctor; his friendly demeanor, patience, care, and vast experience in his field gave me a lot of confidence. It’s been three weeks since the surgery, and my life is almost back to normal. I cannot thank Dr. Kartik enough for everything he has done to give me my life back.
