Achievements
TESTIMONIALS
My newborn grandson had severe infection with low blood pressure. He was transferred from another hospital in a very critical condition to the Neonotal department of Manipal hospital under the care of Dr Karthik Nagesh. We would like to thank him and his team for the great attention and prompt action rendered. Once again my heartiest thanks to everyone in his team for their support during my hard time. My heartbeats getting back to rhythm slowly, longway to-go.
We are very thankful to Dr Karthik Nagesh to have treated our young infant daughter with complications related to Covid related issues with multiple organ discfuntion. He has given a new lease of life to our child and we are very grateful and thankful to him.
Gratitude for all the care Dr Karthik Nagesh has given which has helped save our extremely premature twin babies who were conceived after great difficulty through IVF. When I developed complications during the pregnancy, we were referred to seek the care at Manipal hospital. We were so fortunate to have the close monitoring and comfort of Dr Gayathri Karthik's treatment and though the babies were very premature, Dr Karthik Nagesh and his team looked after the babies so meticulously and kept extreme care during the initial month when the babies needed ventilation. After seeing the meticulous treatment being given, we were so happy that our minds were kept at ease. We are so happy with the overall experience and so thankful to everyone involved.
