We took my dad to Mainpal hospital in critical health condition. Doctor Ranjan shetty handled medical management and my father recovered. Later doctor suggested to go for CRTD device implantation to get rid of frequent hospitalisation but we didn't opt for it immediately later after few months my father fallen sick again. This time we just went with CRTD implantation. Surgery was successfully and my father is really doing good and active. In my view Ranjan shetty is the best cardiologist in Bangalore. Earlier my farther got treatment from other hospitals but Ranajan shetty is exceptional

Dr Ranjan Shetty is extremely good and us absolutely recommended from any cardiac complication(s). My father in law was brought into emergency with arrhythmia in April 2018. From initial diagnosis to treatment, from treatment to post operative care - he was there with us in every step of the way. He is a pioneer in his field and has orchestrated many complicated solutions including incorporation of watchman device in our case. My father in law has been doing better ever since and we are absolutely thankful for the care and support received.
Hoped for better:Â Wait time
Very bad exp with Cardiology dept !!! Still waitingI have visited thrice as a whole. There are usually walk-ins on Sat. I have never felt regret before. The third visit has been horrible. I have visited pulmonology dept. twice before which is great in organizing walkin/appointment of busiest docs but the exp with third vist to Manipal regarding consultation to cardiology dept (Dr Ranjan Shetty) is so bad that we had to wait for 3 hrs literally. They didn't take an appointment and called me to walk in on Sat which I did within 10 min. Walk-in is 1st come 1st serve basis. But here the wait of 3 hrs made me regret the decision of consulting Cardiology here. First the long wait and then No queue order whatsoever. So, ensure before visiting that you have fixed appointment and also ensure you have all day.On top of it, the attender was arrogant
Visited For Heart Conditions
Hoped for better:Â Explanation of the health issueWait time
I visited Manipal Hospital, old airport road, to consult a cardiologist as I was having chest pain. We waited for around 1 hour and 45 minutes for the doctor's consultation. (Which I didn't mind as a Cardiologist can have urgent engagements during the OP time). Upon entering the consultation room, doctor just asked if I had chest pain while walking, and when I said yes, he referred us to a TMT test. We came back to the doctor with the result, he just asked me to exercise regularly and consult him after a month. I felt this is fine for people of age 30-40 but I went there as my triglycerides where close to 700 and since I was taking medicines for other health conditions relating to heart health. Since I sensed doctor was in a hurry to get through the patients, I quickly informed him about the conditions and the lipid profile and triglycerides values which finally got his attention. Doctor, advised us for a CT Coronary Angiogram in a couple of days. Overall, it's my personal feeling, I feel I was not given time to explain my ailment *** **** ****** *** * ********* **** ** **** ******** ***** ** ***** *** ******* **** ** ******** **** *** ********** *** ************* *** *********
I have decided to trust in his abilities and methods of diagnosis/treatment and see how it goes. Following doctor's advices...

This was my first visit and after a long waiting time finally i got chance to meet doctor but surprisingly there was some xyz doctor in place of Ranjan Shetty.
He was pretending to listening but looks like he had already decided what he is going to prescribe.
He asked for TMT and when i came back with report i finally meet to doctor Ranjan Shetty.
He was in a hurry and **** doing formalities by looking on the report. He even not tried to know the problem i was facing. When i started explaining of my own he gave some attention and listened to my problem. At the end he suggested eco cardiogram and suggested to have a word with the attender.Actually it was about change of it. For person without insurance it was 18 thousand and without insurance 26thousand.***** * ******** *** ** ** ***** ********* ** *** *** **** **** ** *** *************** *** ****** ******* **** ******* ******** **** *** **** *** ********* ** **** ** **** ***** ** *********
Not going to continue with him.
Will continue with hospital who has dedicated cardiology.
He didn't prescribe any medications but I underwent some kind of tests & procedures at the hospital during the diagnosis. I am feeling better after the consultation. The doctor was friendly while discussing the issues. With his clarified explanation, I was able to understand what is the cause and how to get over it. It was a good experience in total.
I am completed with my initial treatment and the follow up is awaited on the results. May be after three months, I will have my next session. During the consultation, he was very nice and he explained everything in detail. It was a good experience in total.
Though it was my first consultation, it was significant and satisfactory in all aspects. Whatever tests he prescribed to me was as required for the diagnosis. *** ******* *** ******* ** ***** It took around 45 minutes to consult him because he has gone for rounds when I reached there. It was alright and I am happy with the entire experience.
*** ****** ****** ** *** ** *** ********** ******* ** ******* *********** He is obviously the one to recommend. I got operated recently and the outcome has been promising and effective. I got exceptional support from the management during my consultation and there was no waiting period as such.
