My fiancée and I wanted pre-marital genetic screening before starting a family. We had heard about thalassemia risks in our community. Dr. Mitesh Shetty at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road guided us through the entire carrier screening process. He explained what being a carrier means, the risk to future children, and the options available including PGT. His counselling was honest and non-judgmental. Every couple planning marriage should consider this consultation.
After three miscarriages, I was emotionally broken. Dr. Mitesh Shetty ordered a comprehensive genetic evaluation including karyotyping and sperm aneuploidy testing. He identified a chromosomal factor that had been missed. His structured approach and compassionate communication helped us move forward with a clear plan. Best genetic specialist in Bangalore for recurrent pregnancy loss evaluation.
Our son was 4 years old and still not speaking properly. He had developmental delays that no one could explain. We had visited multiple specialists across Bangalore and gotten nowhere. A paediatric neurologist suggested we consult a clinical geneticist. That's when we found Dr. Mitesh Shetty at Manipal Hospital, Old Airport Road. From the first consultation, he was methodical. He examined our son carefully, took a detailed family history, and ordered a Chromosomal Microarray Analysis. The CMA identified a rare chromosomal microdeletion that explained everything — the developmental delay, the speech issues, the behavioural patterns. For the first time in four years, we had a diagnosis. Dr. Mitesh then spent time explaining what this meant for our son's future, what therapies would help, and whether future pregnancies carried a risk. His combination of clinical depth and compassionate communication is extraordinary. He is truly one of the best medical geneticists in Bangalore.
During my second pregnancy, I was anxious because my first child had a rare condition. We consulted Dr. Mitesh Shetty at Manipal Hospital Sarjapur Road for prenatal genetic counselling. He explained NIPT, its accuracy, limitations, and what the results would mean in simple terms. He was never alarmist — just clear and thorough. When the results came back normal, we felt genuinely reassured rather than just relieved. His supervision of over 70,000 genetic reports means he understands nuance that most doctors miss. Best prenatal genetic counselling experience we could have asked for.
When I needed urgent prenatal NIPT counselling, I used HexaHealth to book Dr. Mitesh Shetty at Manipal Hospital Sarjapur Road. The appointment was confirmed the same day. Dr. Mitesh explained everything clearly and helped us make an informed decision about prenatal testing. Excellent coordination and outstanding clinical expertise.
My nephew had a rare undiagnosed condition that had baffled multiple specialists. Dr. Mitesh Shetty recommended whole exome sequencing with CNV backbone analysis — a combination he pioneered at an institutional level. The result identified a rare genetic variant, finally giving us a diagnosis after two years of uncertainty. His expertise in advanced genomic testing is unmatched in Bangalore.
My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer at 42, and we were worried about hereditary risk for other family members. We consulted Dr. Mitesh Shetty at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road for oncogenetics counselling. He explained hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndromes clearly and recommended targeted genetic testing. When the BRCA mutation was confirmed, he guided us on risk-reduction strategies and screening protocols for my sisters. His ability to translate complex genomic findings into actionable clinical decisions is remarkable. He didn't just give us a report — he gave us a plan.
When our child was born with features suggestive of Down syndrome, we were devastated. Dr. Mitesh Shetty confirmed the diagnosis through karyotyping and spent considerable time explaining the condition, early intervention options, and long-term expectations. His sensitivity and depth of knowledge made a deeply difficult time more manageable.
We needed an urgent genetic consultation for recurrent pregnancy loss. I booked through HexaHealth, and the appointment with Dr. Mitesh Shetty at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road was arranged quickly. He conducted a thorough genetic workup and explained the chromosomal factors contributing to our losses. The process was smooth and the consultation was deeply informative.
My 6-year-old son was losing muscle strength progressively. After months of tests elsewhere, we met Dr. Mitesh Shetty who ordered NGS-based genetic testing. The results confirmed Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. While the diagnosis was hard to receive, Dr. Mitesh sat with us for a long time explaining the condition, what to expect, current research, and support resources. His depth of knowledge in neuromuscular genetics is exceptional. We are grateful for the clarity he gave us in one of our darkest moments.
