My daughter required post‑operative cardiac ICU monitoring after congenital heart surgery. Dr Akshay supervised her recovery closely. His experience in paediatric cardiac ICU care was very evident.
We consult Dr Akshay for routine paediatric check‑ups. He tracks milestones carefully and explains immunisation schedules clearly. Very dependable paediatrician in Bangalore.
