Write a ReviewDr Ravindra M is one of those rare doctors who genuinely listens. I consulted him for recurring kidney infections and high creatinine levels. He investigated systematically and found the root cause. His UK background and clinical experience are very reassuring.
My father had sudden decrease in urine output after a surgery. I used HexaHealth to book Dr Ravindra M urgently. We were seen the same day at Manipal Hospital. He diagnosed acute kidney injury and started treatment immediately. His quick action prevented long term damage.
My wife was diagnosed with ANCA vasculitis affecting her kidneys. We had no idea what to do. Dr Ravindra managed the condition with great expertise and coordinated care with other specialists. His depth of knowledge in this complex area is remarkable.
After being told at another hospital that my father's kidneys were beyond recovery we decided to get a second opinion from Dr Ravindra Mukkunda. He reviewed everything carefully and found that with the right treatment there was still hope. Over several months of careful management the kidney function stabilised and dialysis was delayed. His training at Cambridge and Portsmouth along with his MSc in transplant science gives him a depth that you simply cannot find easily in Bangalore. He is the kind of nephrologist you want when the situation is serious.
My father had been on dialysis for two years and we were looking for a transplant specialist. We consulted Dr Ravindra M at Manipal Hospital Sarjapur Road. His UK training and 27 years of experience were immediately evident in how thoroughly he evaluated the case. He guided us through every step of the transplant workup with clarity and patience. The transplant was successful and my father has been doing well since. He is without doubt the best kidney transplant specialist in Bangalore.
