Write a ReviewHip replacement at 58 felt terrifying. Dr. Sunil's training in London and Sydney gives him a genuinely global perspective. Robotic hip replacement at Manipal Old Airport Road went smoothly. I was discharged in three days and walking independently within two weeks. Very satisfied.
I had been limping for almost three years due to severe knee arthritis. My son kept pushing me to see a doctor, but I was scared of surgery. Finally, we consulted Dr. Sunil Gurpur Kini at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road. He explained robotic knee replacement in simple terms and showed me why it gives better alignment and faster recovery than conventional surgery. I agreed to go ahead. The procedure was smooth, and within six weeks I was walking without support. At 64, I feel like I have my life back. He is truly one of the best orthopaedic surgeons in Bangalore.
Tore my ACL during a match and thought my football days were over. Dr. Sunil Kini at Manipal Hospital Sarjapur Road performed the ACL reconstruction. Clear pre-surgery explanation and excellent post-operative rehabilitation guidance. Back playing within six months. Best sports knee surgeon in Bangalore.
I had persistent hip pain for almost two years. Multiple doctors told me nothing was wrong. Dr. Sunil at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road identified a labral tear and performed hip arthroscopy — one of the very few surgeons in Karnataka who does this procedure. Finally pain-free after so long. Exceptional specialist.
I had advanced shoulder degeneration making even simple tasks impossible. Dr. Sunil performed shoulder replacement at Manipal Clinic Indiranagar. Very clear communication throughout and excellent surgical outcome. I can now lift my arm without pain for the first time in years.
