His professional yet empathetic approach put our entire family at ease during a very stressful time. We are immensely grateful.
ನನ್ನ ತಾತರಿಗೆ ಪಾರ್ಶ್ವವಾಯು ಆಗಿತ್ತು, ಅದರಿಂದ ಮಾತು ನಿಂತುಹೋಗಿತ್ತು. ಡಾ. ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮಣ್ I K ಅವರು ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆ ನೀಡಿದ ಮೇಲೆ, ಅವರು ಫಿಸಿಯೋಥೆರಪಿ ಮತ್ತು ಸ್ಪೀಚ್ ಥೆರಪಿಗೆ ಸಜೆಸ್ಟ್ ಮಾಡಿದರು. ಅವರ ಗೈಡೆನ್ಸ್ ತುಂಬಾ ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡಿದೆ. ಈಗ ತಾತ ನಿಧಾನವಾಗಿ ಮಾತನಾಡಲು ಶುರು ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅವರ ಆರೋಗ್ಯವೂ ಸುಧಾರಿಸುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್ ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮಣ್ ಅವರು ರೋಗಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅವರ ಕುಟುಂಬಕ್ಕೆ ಮಾನಸಿಕ ಧೈರ್ಯ ತುಂಬುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಅವರಿಗೆ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು.
My mother-in-law had a mild stroke, and we were very worried about her recovery. Dr. Lakshman I K guided us through the entire process, from acute care at Manipal Hospital, Yeshwanthpur to rehabilitation planning.
It's refreshing to find a doctor who genuinely cares and delves deep into the problem.
ನನ್ನ ಮಗಳಿಗೆ ತಲೆಗೆ ಬಲವಾದ ಪೆಟ್ಟು ಬಿದ್ದಿತ್ತು. ನಾವು ಅವಳನ್ನು ಮಣಿಪಾಲ್ ಆಸ್ಪತ್ರೆ, ಯಶವಂತಪುರಕ್ಕೆ ಕರೆತಂದೆವು. ಡಾ. ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮಣ್ ಐ ಕೆ ಅವರು ತಕ್ಷಣವೇ ಪರೀಕ್ಷಿಸಿ ಅಗತ್ಯ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆ ನೀಡಿದರು. ಅವರು ನಮಗೆ ಪ್ರತಿ ಹಂತದಲ್ಲೂ ಮಾಹಿತಿ ನೀಡಿದರು ಮತ್ತು ನಮ್ಮ ಮಗಳು ಬೇಗ ಗುಣಮುಖಳಾಗಲು ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡಿದರು. ಅವರ ಪ್ರಾಂಪ್ಟ್ ಡಯಾಗ್ನೋಸಿಸ್ ಮತ್ತು ಎಕ್ಸ್ಪರ್ಟೈಸ್ ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ ಏನಾಗುತ್ತಿತ್ತೋ ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ಅವರು ನಿಜಕ್ಕೂ ಜೀವ ಉಳಿಸುವವರು.
Pehle darr lag raha tha, but unhone itna acche se explain kiya ki I felt confident. Surgery ke baad immediately relief mila. My hand feels normal again.
Manipal Hospital, Yeshwanthpur mein Dr. Lakshman jaisa doctor milna hamari khushkismati hai. Bahut bahut shukriya, doctor saahab.
I'm now undergoing physiotherapy and can take a few steps, which is a miracle. Thank you, doctor, for everything.
ನನ್ನ ತಮ್ಮನಿಗೆ ಬ್ರೈನ್ ಟ್ಯೂಮರ್ ಇತ್ತು ಅಂತ ಗೊತ್ತಾದಾಗ ನಾವು ತುಂಬಾ ಭಯಪಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೆವು. ಡಾ. ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮಣ್ I K ಅವರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಕೇಳಿ ಮಣಿಪಾಲ್ ಹಾಸ್ಪಿಟಲ್, ಯಶವಂತಪುರದಲ್ಲಿ ತೋರಿಸಿದೆವು. ಅವರು ನಮಗೆ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ವಿವರವಾಗಿ ತಿಳಿಸಿದರು ಮತ್ತು ಟ್ಯೂಮರ್ ತೆಗೆದುಹಾಕಲು ಆಪರೇಷನ್ ಮಾಡಿದರು. ಈಗ ನನ್ನ ತಮ್ಮ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ಗುಣಮುಖನಾಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್ ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮಣ್ ಅವರು ನಮ್ಮ ಕುಟುಂಬಕ್ಕೆ ಹೊಸ ಜೀವನ ನೀಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅವರ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕಾಳಜಿಗೆ ನಾವೆಲ್ಲಾ ಆಭಾರಿ.
