Dr. Amarkishen Shetty | Best Gastroenterologist in Jayanagar | Manipal Hospital Jayanagar - Bengaluru

He is seriously not fit in the doctor category. Tested for blood reports and ruled out jaundice because of elevated bilurubin levels. At the outset it was not jaundice. It was identified as Gilbert Syndrome by qualified doctor. Really feel pitty for people who trust such doctors

Little bit of history about how I reached Amarkishen - as you all are doing it, I did browse for the practo reviews too. Travelled from Melbourne (Australia) to check on my gastric issues and mainly confirm what is the cause of it which later became worse. The doctor started with endo as most of them complained here .. But I dint mind as he had to do the preliminary checks. Later he found out there was small ulcers being formed on my small intestine. I told him that I am completely depending on him as I am in India only for few months and wanted to get rid of the issue completely. He promised that he will treat and take care of me and don't have to worry at all as it is just early stages. He also tested for my pylori h which he did not bother to share the results at all (he asked me not to worry about it for now) He gave a 12 day course of tablets and nothing better happened in fact day by day my tummy bloating and diarrhea was worse. Every alternative day I had to consult and update him. I did have a lot of questions which he did answer only to some of it and rest was his famous answer ( don't worry leave it to me) I still believed. And now it is my 13th day with him and he then gave me a next 12 day course tablets but this time he added tablets to stop diarrhea and infact it stopped. After few days my bloating had started becoming worse day by day and one fine day I stopped having the feel of hunger and lost around 5kgs of weight in just couple of days .. the same continuing weekend, I had fever which did not stop for more than 24 hours and I got worried dint knew what to do.. it was a Sunday morning - unfortunately he isn't working on Sundays. Later drove to emergency of Manipal Jayanagar so that atleast I can get admitted . But due to many covid patients in emergency I was asked to bare it for another day and see him on his OPD on monday. Irony is that on Monday morning I go and meet him with almost no strength to talk and continuous fever and vomitting barely able to talk. He sees me and as soon as I explained all the symptoms - that I had for two days and wanted to meet him badly if he wants to admit me.. I was shocked by his response - he said you should not come to OPD with fever symptoms as you are putting me at risk. He stood up and wanted me first go to emergency. He spoke to someone on emergency and asked me to get COVID tested first to confirm and then bring me to OPD. All the hopes I had on him just went in vain. Every time you go to visit he does not talk to you untial a new consultation paper is brought. which is around 550rs. We all think that you pay more and you get better doctors.. that's not at all true to this Doctor. My point is please don't fall for the reviews, if the doctor is not at all a good human being first. He is not fit for a doctor at all. you are going simply going to be his one of clinical income number and nothing else. Even after paying for consultation, this is not the behaviour any doctor should show. I had to find a different gastro in that emergency time and admitted to get my treatments done. Please guys stay away from this inhuman doc. He isn't fit for a doctor. If possible please go through your real time contacts like friends and family who know good doctors. Don't fall for reviews. God bless you all!

I recommend you not to visit this doctor. He didn't do complete colonoscopy and just told the issue is due to Vit B12 deficiency and misled us for 4 months. Finally I have to visit another doctor and he again did colonoscopy and told there is a tumor in large intestine. Hence please don't go to him.

I too had more or less similar experience as Yathish mentioned here. Consulted him 4-5 times for my stomach issues. Agreed to do Endoscopy on 4th visit. He said it was H pylori related decease, and even showed me the video and said his diagnosis is right, only to find it all wrong when the biopsy result came after 2 days i.e. negative. The worst part was when the results came, he was really friendly till then and were answering all my questions but suddenly, he was not even talking to me or giving me consultation. This was complete strange experience then and I thought may be there was some other issue, that his mood that day was bad or something..Now reading others reviews, I understand similar things have happened with many..hah..!!
