Write a ReviewNamma magu born aagidhe takshanave NICU ge hogthu. Navu tumba crying madidvi. Dr Harish Kumar sir daily update kodtidru matte yella explain madidru. Avru tumba positive energy kodtidru. 3 weeks nantara namma magu home ge bandha. Yelahanka nalli ivru iddare anta namma tumba lucky anta anistuide.
My nephew was admitted with multi organ complications. The family was in shock. What I appreciated about Dr Harish Kumar is that he never gave false hope but he also never let us lose hope. That balance is very rare. His 25 years of experience shows not just in treatment but in how he handles families emotionally.
Even outside emergency situations Dr Harish Kumar is an excellent doctor. My children have been seeing him for regular checkups and seasonal illnesses. He explains child nutrition and preventive care very clearly. Every parent in Yelahanka should have him as their child's doctor.
My daughter had severe respiratory infection and needed ventilator support. What shocked me is that Dr Harish Kumar would visit the PICU himself even at odd hours. My husband and I noticed this. He is a very dedicated HOD who doesn't just delegate but actually stays involved. Best paediatric ICU specialist in Bangalore without any doubt.
