Dr. Mallinath G.

I have been seeing Dr. Mallinath G. for 15 years. He communicates well and provides good treatment. I am completely satisfied with his care.

The doctor explained everything clearly and the consultation was really good. Although the wait time could be improved, overall the experience was positive. I would rate the visit four out of five and would recommend the doctor.

** * my sis visited him for acl tear n pain,which is second time so we kinda had idea what happened. ** ** ** * he intrupeted every time she was explaining how her injury happened n pain ,he dismissed everything n said yes,yes, ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** * * ** ** * ** ** * * ** ** ** ** * ** ** ** ** * he didn't ** explain procedure of surgery when asked * ** ** * ** ** ** ** he had no empathy in his eyes, very rude and dismissive like I wonder what kind of doctor doesn't listen to his patient. later my dad n sis called me n said tht this will require a surgery it seems. then when I asked abt details, * ** ** ** ** * ** ** * * ** ** * ** ** ** ** ** ** ** * * * * ** ** ** ** ** ** ** so very next day we visited another orthopedic someone rec to us, ** ** * * ** ** ** ** ** * ** ** * * ** ** ** ** ** ** * * * ** * * ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** * ** ** ** ** people do not visit him or get any surgery done by him in Manipal. I'm very disappointed why Manipal * ** ** ** ** ** ** * ** ** ** ** ** * ** ** * ** ** * ** ** ** * ** ** ** * ** ** * * **

I had one of the unfavourable experiences at Manipal hospital where I got operated for meniscus by Dr.Mallinath G ( orthopaedic department ). He lacks the basic courtesy a patient needs before/after surgery. ** ** After checking with him, I got admitted on Friday for surgery on Saturday. To our surprise, he never come to visit post surgery on Saturday and then was on leave on Sunday ( day of discharge). He sent some junior doctor, ** My point here if he wasn’t going to be available on Sunday ( weekly off) , I could have just simply postponed my surgery. After we visited him post surgery, He didn’t give advice post surgery on timing, intensity and frequency of physio. ** I started professional physio late. I had lost more muscle mass by then. Operation happened end March but I’m still not fully recovered ** * ** * Every day I regret getting operated from Dr. Mallinath and Manipal hospital. On the contrary, the nurses were exceptional. 5 / 5 to them. Please be very careful in choosing your doctor. Hopefully this posts will help someone.

Visited this doctor at his BTM clinic for getting my Knee checked as I have been having Knee pain for a month or so.He checked it properly and suggested an MRI scan. After I got the MRI report called him to visit and as he was in Apollo that day called me thr. He didint even look at my scans properly, glanced at the report and without a thought suggested Orthoscopy i.e. Surgery which he indicated would cost around 1.3 Lacs. To my surprise the same doctor was a very different doctor that day and I somehow wasn't convinced. For 2nd opinion I went to another Orthopedist and he suggested thr is no need of any surgery. He's put me on Physiotherapy and I am much better now. Such doctors treat patients as customers or rather Victims. I am sure he get's a hefty cut on the surgeries at Apollo and I hear they have targets for each doctors for such surgeries. Strange that once a noble profession, has now become more of a business for such hospitals n docs.So friends always take 2nd opinion before going for any SURGERY.

I seriously don't recommend this doctor. ** ** The consultation time was not even 5 mins and its not the worth of money to visit this doctor. ** ** ** Totally disappointed and I would never ever visit this doctor ever again* * **
