Dr. Sunder Narasimhan

He treated my varicose vein problem very well. His words gave me confidence and make me believe myself.

I would always be grateful to Dr.Sunder Narasimhan for the kind of treatment he has given to my father which in all aspects helped my father come out of a serious condition of Diabetic Foot. It was on Sept 27 2019 that we first consulted Dr.Sunder Narasimhan at Apollo Hospitals Bannergatta road. My father was suffering from Dry Gangrene and the infection was spreading fast from his toes to his legs. He is diabetic and 62 yrs old. As soon as the doctor examined his legs,he was sure of the disease and suggested for an Angiogram. We got it done and the reports showed up to be disappointing, the blood flow in his legs was very thin.This had to be corrected before treating the Gangrene. Dr.Sunder Narasimhan and his Team suggested that stent placement can be done,but due to heavy deposits in the arteries present in thigh region this procedure was unsuccessful.We were heartbroken and this is when the doctor went ahead with a Bypass surgery for the legs. This procedure was conducted on Oct 3 2019 and it went on for 9 hours. We trusted the doctors and we were not wrong in doing so.The operation was successful and the blood flow showed up to be normal. This gave us more hope on his recovery.Slowly he was strong enough to walk on his legs and then there was still this infection in his legs that we had to deal with. On 10th Oct 2019 my father was discharged for a week. 21st Oct 2019 , we got admitted in the hospital for his Toe Amputation process. On 22nd the operation was performed. One toe from each leg was amputed. For 3 days he was kept under observation.Since the infection had spread to one more toe , even that was amputed on 31st Oct 2019. All through this process the whole team of Dr.Sunder Narasimhan was very supporting and hopeful which helped our family to survive such dreadful situation. For another one month, till Nov 18th 2019 ,my father was admitted for post operation recovery. After final discharge, when my father was healing, we were asked to visit the doctor on alternate days for dressing procedure for 4 months till 11th March 2020. His legs were slowly recovering with continuous dressing and antibiotic course. We followed the antibiotic course as suggested by Dr. Vinay (Infectious Disease) and we also were suggested to go for Vacuum dressing for one leg which helped in healing procedure. I would like to convey my heartfelt regards to Dr.Sunder Narasimhan , Dr. Manju Bharath , Dr .Jijo , Dr. Vinay (Infectious disease), Dr. Kalpana Janardhan( General Medicine), Nutritionist and Mr.Krishna Reddy (adivosary officer NMDC) for their timely advice and support. Special regards to Dr. Basil for his continuous support throughout. I thank all the nursing staff and cleaning staff for the commendable service.

I visited Bengaluru in the month of October 2022 and after consultation with one of the doctors of Basanthnagar locality's hospital, it was suggested that the set up of a stent was extremely necessary and inevitable. I was totally astonished as there were no such symptoms at all. Even regarding my vericose vein problem, there were no problems of itching, swelling or clotting etc. Then one of my friend of Astra Zeneca gave me his reference and during consultation he elaborately described all the procedures. He almost did the colour droppler test in presence of my wife and friend himself without charging a penny. Thereafter he also drew the blood circulation path of the lower part of our body and vividly described the necessity of the stent. Last but not the least he told us about the procedure of Angiogram and informed us that just before the operation he would perform the Angiogram test and if any blockage was detected, he would opt for its removal via the balloon treatment unless the blockage is too severe. We were very happy with his detailed explanation and made up our mind to be operated under him. On 18.11.22. i.e. on the date of operation and after the Angiogram, the Doctor informed me that there was no blockage, the dye was flowing very smoothly and thus there was no need for the placement of any stent. I was fully relaxed before my varicose vein operation through Laser Technology. Now after the operation, on that very day I was able to walk slowly at late night and the recovery process is going on smoothly. On 25.11.22 after final check up with the doctor S.Narasimhan, we returned to Kolkata. I sincerely convey my gratitude to Dr. S.Narasimhan, Dr Manju ( his Junior ) and his whole team ( I apologize for not being able to recollect their names ) for their excellent work and strongly recommend this Doctor and his team for varicose vein related problems. Dr Narasimhan is very friendly, approachable, and always gives ample time to his patient and relatives to clear any persisting doubts. And most important thing is that most of the time he himself takes up the job irrespective of it being a colour droppler test or a simple task of bandaging. Only thing I would like to add here is that there is a need of operation clips and hope that infrastructure will be developed by Apollo Bannerghatta Unit in near future. I again thank Dr. Narasimhan and his team for their excellent work. May their skillful work gets known to a wider audience and prosper.

I must say Dr. Sunder Narasimha is God’s blessing in disguise. I am telling this from the bottom of my heart, who saved my father's leg from getting amputated and saved his life. It was in Mid May 2021 that my father had complained about severe pain in his right leg, and we had to rush him to Manipal hospital, which is very close to our place in GM Palya, where the doctor said he must do the Angiogram to check the severity of the blockage in his leg. He did tell that he may do the angioblast if they see any blockages and in case if it is complicated would inform the proceeding. During the surgery the doctor could blast the blockage in the middle artery, however, he could not do the remaining two core arteries as he felt it is not possible as the blockages were very deep. In fact, he had ruled it out as highly impossible and said the blood flow is very less and may have to wait and watch and if this worsens, he had recommended amputating the leg. Post-Surgery my dad had to go on all sorts of complications such as low BP and had to be in ICU and eventually had caught up with Delirium. After two weeks the doctor amputated his little toe, however, the wound did not heal even after three weeks of amputation, since the blood flow was very less, the doctor said that we will have to amputate his leg and said if we do his life is at risk after the surgery as his other vital parameters are very poor. We were literally shocked as we felt and hoped the leg was fine as they were well moving except the little toe not getting healed. The doctor was always emphasizing possible amputation of the leg every time we would visit. I started looking at alternatives on google and found Dr. Sunder Narasimha at Apollo Bannergatta Bangalore, with some amazing and astonishing reviews of how he had rescued and recovered complicated cases like my father's. I had called him immediately the moment we were told that his right leg had to be amputated. Dr Sunder, told me to get my father to emergency and his team would look at as he was away on personal work. I also must say he has a very dedicated, highly skilled and extremely passionate team of doctors such has Dr Venugopal, Dr Manjunath and Dr Jiju. I took my father on July 12th Monday evening at around 5PM to emergency in Apollo Bannerghatta with very little hope. The team discussed with the doctor, and they decided to do an Angiogram and see how they can rectify the blood flow. Apollo has a state of art Digital Carbon Dioxide based Angiography; I think very few hospitals in Bangalore may have. This enabled them to do the surgery immediately without waiting to look for controlling vital parameters such has Sugar, Creatine...etc. July 13th Tuesday in the morning at around 5 AM, my mother called him back who was the attendee for my father and told me the Surgery proceeding will start at 6 AM and they may start the actual surgery by 8 AM, I was really surprised as in Manipal they nearly took two days with various tests and multiple consultant visits to my father’s ward before controlling and doing the surgery. Dr. Sunder Narasimha is very talented, and has a fellowship in the field of Vascular Surgery, I see him never giving up till things get sorted. When we took for surgery, he had found the blockage was too heavy and was impossible with forward Angiography, he went the reverse way and got all my father’s artery cleared and showed me how he did, I bet none in the city and few in the country would be able to do that. My Father blood flow is absolutely in full, unfortunately less than 1/3 of his feet around has been amputated due to the delay that we had to undergo. However, the healing is in progress and is healing up very well. Post-surgery as Dr Sunder Narasimha and his team know all the best techniques and processes of making the wound heal fast such as putting in the Vacuum healing process and getting them dressed up in the right way has enabled my father to get into the healing phase quicker. I strongly recommend anyone who has Vascular issues to consult Dr. Sunder Narasimha, ** ** ** He is very polite and kind-hearted. My sincere note to the Doctor "Thank you, Doctor, you and your Team have done miracles to my father’s leg and saved, we are extremely grateful for your all that you and the team have done for the rest of our lives"

My father has been suffering from DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) for over 10 years, first diagnosed in 2014. In this long journey, we consulted 6 to 8 hospitals across different cities, tried both General Medicine and Ayurveda, but everywhere the response was the same: DVT cannot be cured, he has to live with it for life. Over the years, his condition worsened, and by 2025, it had reached an advanced stage. It was only when I came across Dr. Sunder Narasimhan Sir through one of his podcasts that I truly felt hopeful for the first time. The way he explained DVT matched exactly with my father’s condition, and after reading several patient reviews, I was convinced that he could help. I immediately brought my father from our hometown (Kundapura, Udupi) to Apollo Bannerghatta Road for a consultation. Dr. Sunder himself did the scan and clearly explained that although the case was complex because the clot had been there for nearly a decade, it was treatable with surgery. This was the first time in 10+ years that a doctor gave us a solution instead of telling us to accept the condition. We consulted him on a Saturday, and by Tuesday my father was admitted for surgery. The surgery was highly successful. Before the procedure, my father’s leg was severely swollen, making it very difficult for him to walk. Just two days after surgery, the swelling had reduced by almost 80% – something we never thought possible. Today, five days post-surgery, my father is walking comfortably, and we are confident he will recover fully in the coming weeks. Words cannot express the gratitude we have for Dr. Sunder Narasimhan Sir. After years of struggle, he gave my father a new lease on life. He is truly one of the finest vascular surgeons not just in Bangalore, but in India. I would also like to extend heartfelt thanks to his incredible vascular team – Dr. Sandeep, Dr. Venu – and especially Mamatha for coordinating everything so smoothly. Their care, professionalism, and dedication made this journey easier for us. If anyone is suffering from DVT or vascular issues, I can wholeheartedly say – Dr. Sunder Narasimhan is the doctor you should consult. After years of research, multiple failed attempts, and endless struggle, I can confidently say he is the one who made the impossible possible for my father. We will remember this forever.
