My mom had bronchitis for past 40 years and she has taking treatment in Chennai.. Every 3 months once we used to take her to chennai and still she never felt better... Recently, she had severe breathing problem and found difficult to walk from 1 room to other at home... I a'd my brother found Dr. Vasunethra in Practo and we took an appointment... Doctor had gone through all her existing medications and explained in detail of the process what he is going to try and if that doesn't work.. Told that she has to be hospitalized... He gave her medicines to nebulize for 15 days and asked us to visit after a month... She was much better after 15 days... Later doc gave new medicines... She is feeling much better and can walk without gasping much.... I thank doctor very much and now my mother is confident that she doesn't need to visit chennai doc which she was adamant in doing last 30 years...

In April 2022, I experienced normal flu symptoms and a cough. Initially, I believed it was just a regular flu due to the changing seasons, so I decided to visit a nearby clinic. The doctor there recommended some medicines, but unfortunately, they didn't provide any relief. Concerned about my health, I made the decision to move to city in search of better treatment.\n\nUpon reaching the new city, I consulted various doctors who suggested numerous tests during each visit, Additionally, they prescribed several medications despite my insistence that I only had a common flu. To my surprise, one doctor informed me that I had asthma. This revelation was shocking, considering I had never smoked or been exposed to any drugs in my life. I grew up in an area with clean air and surrounded by forests, so it seemed implausible. I struggled to maintain focus, and the dry cough persisted despite taking the prescribed medications.\n\nThroughout eight months of futile visits to the doctor, each time I was presented with a different explanation. Frustrated and losing hope, I eventually quit my job due to the toll it took on my mental health. It was at this point that a friend from Bangalore suggested Dr. Vasunethra Kasargod to me. Initially, I hesitated, fearing it would be another financial burden. However, my friend assured me that Dr. Kasargod was an exceptional doctor, and it was worth giving it a try.\n\nTaking my friend's advice to heart, I booked my tickets to Bangalore and arranged a meeting with Dr. Kasargod at Manipal Hospital. To my surprise, on the first visit, he recommended that I stop taking all the previous medications and prescribed a new set of medications worth only cost Rs 30\/=. He diagnosed me with hyperventilation, stating that I was 100% fit and did not have asthma. Though skeptical, I followed his treatment plan, and to my amazement, I experienced a 80% improvement in my condition.\n\nI am immensely grateful to Dr. Kasargod for his expertise and guidance, which has significantly improved my health. I am truly thankful to him for giving me hope and a chance to regain my well-being.\

I had met multiple well known doctors in Bangalore for my asthama wheezing and cough before I met Dr.Vasunethra, the first thing I liked about him is the extra mile he travels to understand his patients symptoms well..he infact did a thorough understanding of my entire medical history on all my medication before he suggested any new medication. He exactly diagnosed my problem related to a particular medicine I was taking which inturn was creating my problem with excessive cough. The moment he changed the medicines accordingly, my suffering of almost 6+ months vanished in a few weeks which talks a lot about his knowledge and supremacy he has in his field.
Plus one more important quality which I personally liked is his genuine care for patients, he doesn't overdose you with medicines - even though most people like me suffering from a severe condition would say give me any medication but make me alright. He would smile and say I would want you to give it sometime and true to his advice my cough came to a good control, so those of you who have given up hope with asthama or any alergy cough or any pulmonary related issues suggest you please meet him once and I'm very sure you will get a sensible solution.
I generally don't write such long recommendations but for him since I'm sure a lot of people especially in a city like Banglore suffer from the asthama and alergy symptoms which can literally drive one nuts, that's why I felt I must write a good note which might help others like me:)

I had cold and cough for 3 months and its not frequently. After long hesitation and I decided to visit Dr. Vasunethra kasargod. Anyway I had afraid of visiting hospital that if they told any serious illness. As soon as entered, technician collected all illness details and suggested to do PFT before consultanting doctor. Its normal and routine test for this cause. After the results, met doctor. He clearly asked about my past medical history, current symptoms etc. Post all the validation and there is no finding in PFT. Then he suggested to have inhaler for 15 days and asked to give blood test as well. I wondered why blood test is required for the cough. But post blood test results only I got to know, Vitamin D level is low.
I really liked that he found the findings in a day and did only required tests.
And after used the inhaler for couple of days, i could feel the improvements.
And moreover, doctor speaks very friendly that gave me confidence and strongly recommend for who struggling chest related issues.

Consulting him from last 4 years and satisfied till now. The new clinic is much better and wait time is significantly reduced. If you call them for same day appointment, it is rare that you will get it but with Practo I was able to book same day appointment as well.

Visited ForΒ Tuberculosis (TB) Treatment
Happy with:Β Doctor friendlinessTreatment satisfaction
Dr Vasunethra is well known to us and my mother has been consulting him through Manipal Hospital. Very satisfied with his treatment. But I have feedback about his staff. Whenever any tests are taken in the clinic, the reports are not delivered in a timely manner even after repeated followups. I am still waiting for the LFT report, and the staff is not responding to my message nor calls. My mother had followup consultation with another doctor who wanted these reports. I have faced similar concerns with bills, itβs never sent on time unless I collect it in-person. This needs to improve!

1. I initially went to this doctor for my father severe cough treatment. After consulting many doctors, at last went to him. many other doctors said it is TB, passive covid (there is nothing as such). Doctor looked into the reports and said, get the sugar level down and prescribed some medicines. within a week my father recovered. he had suffered with this severe cough for more than a month. I'm very happy with his treatment. 2. one month back, I got cold and severe cough. I had recovered from TB the year before. the cough was not recovering after taking antibiotics. it went on for two weeks. Since I knew Dr. vasunethra from my father health issue. I approached him, realised that I have asthma. With the prescribed treatment, I recovered in two weeks. he answers all my queries, very friendly, explains about the treatment plan. *** ** *** **** ************* ** ********** Trust me, I have explored enough pulmonologists already.

Happy with:Β Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
I consulted Dr Vasunethra for experiencing shortness of breath frequently throughout the day for two full weeks. I was very scared thinking of all the things it could be. Doctor identified my issue accurately within a single offline consultation (I had done hours and hours of googling that led me nowhere π€¦π½ββοΈ).
He patiently listened to all that I had to say, explained the issue with absolute clarity, suggested corrective action and clarified ALL the doubts that I had. A doctor like him is a boon to the medical fraternity and a blessing to the patients! I already feel better practising the changes he suggested. I can't thank him enough for this!
