Our baby was born at 28 weeks and we were advised to get regular neurodevelopmental follow-ups. Dr Chitra Sankar at Manipal Hospital,Sarjapur Road,has been monitoring our little one since discharge. Her expertise in preterm and VLBW infant follow-up is exceptional. She tracks every milestone and gives clear guidance at each visit. Living in Bellandur,the hospital location works perfectly for us.
Used HexaHealth to urgently book an appointment with Dr Chitra Sankar for our premature baby's neurodevelopmental review. Got a next-day slot at Manipal Hospital,Sarjapur Road. The consultation was detailed and very reassuring. HexaHealth made the whole process incredibly easy for a worried parent.
My daughter had learning difficulties that were affecting her confidence and school performance. Dr Chitra Sankar at Manipal Hospital,Sarjapur Road,conducted a thorough assessment and identified specific learning challenges. She guided us on both school accommodations and therapy interventions. We stay in JP Nagar and specifically chose her because of her reputation. Best child development specialist in Bangalore.
My son was struggling badly in school and his teachers kept flagging attention issues. We consulted Dr Chitra Sankar at Manipal Hospital,Old Airport Road. Her assessment was thorough and she took the time to explain ADHD in a way that finally made sense to us as parents. Her support and guidance have made a significant difference in how we understand and support our child. She is a truly compassionate child development specialist in Bangalore.
We had been worried about our son's development for over a year and had visited three different clinics in Bangalore without getting a clear answer. A parent from our school in Koramangala recommended Dr Chitra Sankar at Manipal Hospital,Sarjapur Road. Her evaluation was unlike anything we had experienced before. She used gold-standard ADOS tools and spent two full sessions with our child before sharing her findings. Her explanation was compassionate,detailed,and completely non-judgmental. For the first time,we had a clear diagnosis and a structured early intervention plan. She is the best developmental paediatrician in Bangalore for autism evaluation and we cannot thank her enough.
Dr Chitra Sankar is outstanding. She evaluated our toddler for developmental delays with so much care and patience. Her guidance has been invaluable. Best developmental paediatrician near Sarjapur Road.
I want to write this review so that other families in Bangalore don't waste years searching for answers the way we did. Our son showed signs of autism from age 2 but we kept being told he was just a slow developer. When we finally reached Dr Chitra Sankar at Manipal Hospital,Sarjapur Road,everything changed. Her use of ADOS and ADI diagnostic tools gave us a definitive picture and her post-diagnosis guidance was thorough and practical. She connected us with the right therapists,helped us understand school accommodations,and has been available for follow-up whenever we needed her. Her media contributions on children's mental health in publications like Times Now reflect her broader commitment to child welfare beyond the clinic. She is without doubt the best child development specialist in Bangalore. If your child needs a developmental assessment,stop searching and book an appointment with Dr Chitra Sankar.
Dr Chitra Sankar combines nearly four decades of clinical wisdom with a warmth and patience that is rare. We visited her for a cerebral palsy evaluation for our daughter,not knowing what to expect. She spent nearly an hour with us,assessed our child comprehensively,and laid out an early intervention plan step by step. Her training from the Royal College of Physicians,London,and her work at the Centre for Child Development in Malleswaram make her one of Bangalore's finest developmental paediatricians.
We were concerned about our 18-month-old's speech delay and booked Dr Chitra Sankar through HexaHealth. The process was seamless and we got a priority appointment at Manipal Hospital,Sarjapur Road within days. Her DASII-certified developmental assessment was very detailed and gave us a clear picture of where our child needed support. Thank you HexaHealth for making such specialised care easily accessible in Bangalore.
We noticed signs of developmental delay in our 2-year-old and were very anxious. Dr Chitra Sankar at Manipal Hospital assessed him carefully and immediately enrolled him in a structured early intervention program. Her guidance on nutrition,behaviour,and developmental activities was practical and easy to follow. We stay in Whitefield and the drive to Sarjapur Road is always worth it for her.
