Write a ReviewFor over eight years,knee pain defined my daily life. Climbing stairs,going to the market,attending family functions – everything was a struggle. I had been avoiding surgery out of fear. My son insisted I meet Dr Balamurali Krishnan at Manipal Hospital,Sarjapur Road,after reading about his 35 years of experience and his Ian Smillie Award for academic excellence. During the consultation,he spent 40 minutes with us,showed me the X-rays,explained exactly why the joint had deteriorated,and walked me through the replacement procedure in English and Hindi. He was honest about recovery timelines and never once made me feel pressured. The total knee replacement was performed with incredible precision and I was discharged in three days. Six months later,I am walking in Lalbagh without pain for the first time in nearly a decade. He is without doubt the best orthopaedic surgeon in Bangalore.
Dr Balamurali Krishnan is the best orthopaedic surgeon near Sarjapur Road. My father's shoulder repair surgery was done flawlessly. No complications,smooth recovery.
I am only 38 and was told I needed a hip replacement due to a degenerative condition. Most doctors I met were hesitant to operate on a young adult. Dr Balamurali Krishnan at Manipal Hospital,Sarjapur Road,specialises in exactly this. He explained the young adult arthroplasty approach thoroughly and gave me realistic expectations. The surgery was a success and I am back to my active lifestyle in Bangalore. Very grateful.
I booked a consultation with Dr Balamurali through HexaHealth for chronic knee pain. The process was seamless and I got a priority slot at Manipal Hospital. He evaluated my condition thoroughly and suggested a non-surgical management plan first before considering replacement. That honest approach meant a lot. Highly recommend both HexaHealth and Dr Balamurali.
I had a complicated joint dislocation that was mismanaged elsewhere. Dr Balamurali Krishnan carefully evaluated my case and performed corrective surgery. His MRCS credentials and fellowship in joint replacement are evident in his surgical precision. We stay in Whitefield and specifically chose Manipal Hospital,Sarjapur Road for him.
