Visited For Hysterectomy (Abdominal/Vaginal)
Happy with:Â Explanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
I consulted her for a hysterectomy because fibroids was causing excessive heavy bleeding that left me severely anemic and affected my lifestyle very badly. She counseled me very well before the surgery explaining the process options and risks. She gave me the confidence to go ahead with the surgery. She and her excellent surgical team did a fantastic job and the post recovery was so smooth that it surprised me. I could walk in a few hours after surgery and went home after 48 hours. She told me what to follow after surgery and was very confident and explained everything in details which helps to take decisions and set expectations. Highly recommend her for any gynecology issue. I trust her and the team at Sakra to do an excellent job and the best care in Bangalore.

Dr. Shanthala is a life saviour. I have very rarely come across a doctor who is so patient, calm, friendly and most importantly so good at what she does. She is one of the very few Laparoscopic surgeons available in Bangalore, maybe India. She knows her job. Talks to the point and is genuinely a very -very good doctor. She saved my 77 year old grandmother from a fibroid/tumor. Almost no doctor wanted to perform a hysterectomy on a geriatric patient, but she was confident from day 1. The way she handles her patient and visitors, the way she explains things, has a human touch. All women suffering from related issues must make a visit to her.
I had a very bad experience, an emergency situation of excessive blood loss in urine, severe abdominal pain and tiredness. Doctor prescribed a Urinary routine test and Culture stimulation(result would take 3 days) and very basic medicines. Symptoms were concluded as UTI, ***** medicines for 3 days and no emergency steps were taken.
As I was unsatisfied, visited another hospital. **** *** ******** *** ***** ** ***** ******* ********** *********** *** ********* ***** **** ******

Visited For Pap Smear
First, they ask you to pay Rs 100 separately for registration charges for just giving a blank file on which they write your name. This extra charge was no where mentioned at the time of appointment booking on Practo.
Second, they made it mandatory to wear masks or buy one stating it as a local law while the doctor herself during speaking, had her mask down. This is absolutely unwarranted.

I am writing to Thank Dr. Shantala Thuppanna for her excellent diagnosis, approach and friendliness with which she explained the issue and the solution that she gave which gave relief, satisfaction and kind of confidence. We were confused and worried with the suggestions given by other doctors. But its Dr. Shantala Thuppanna who understood the situation and did the right thing to treat the condition considering the all the factors.
It’s not just the treatment, but the care and responsiveness shown by doctors like Dr. Shantala makes the difference.
Visited For Fibrosarcoma
I was diagnosed for fibroids and was suggested to get it operated. We got to know about Dr Shanthala through my sister's friend, in the very first visit doctor gave me a whole picture of what the surgery was all about, expense,insurance coverage,stay in the hospital, post surgery care. This made me feel well prepared for the surgery. We decided to get it operated in few weeks time and its been a month now and Im glad I went to Dr Shantala, everything went very smooth and her team made me feel very comfortable. Along with the good experience she had the way she took me through the whole process was amazing. Thank you once again for taking care of me so well.
Visited For Bilateral Salpingo - OopherectomyTotal Hysterectomy
Happy with:Â Explanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
I was suffering from Endometriosis for the past two years. I was taking medications to relieve my symptoms and avoid surgery. Things were going fine until recently when my doctor told me that my endometriosis has increased in size and advised me to go for a total hysterectomy through an open surgery. She completely ruled out the option of laparoscopy. Since it was a complex surgery, we decided to go for a second opinion. After reading positive reviews about Dr. Shanthala Thuppanna, we approached her at Sakra World Hospital. She was confident that the surgery could be performed laparoscopically and only in a complex scenario would she do an open surgery. She answered all my queries patiently and we decided to go with her. Her coordinator ensured the entire process from hospitalisation to discharge was smooth. My surgery (Total hysterectomy + Bilateral Salpingo Oopherectomy) was done laparoscopically which made me little relaxed and my post surgery issues were also very well taken care of by her dedicated team of doctors and nurses before I was discharged. The hospital staff was also very cooperative and helpful.
I am extremely thankful to Dr Shanthala Thuppanna and her team for my treatment and would highly recommend her for her expertise and genuineness.

Visited For Irregular Periods
Hoped for better:Â Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
*** ********** *** **** ******** ******* Not at all friendly. She isn't even maintaining the basics of hiegene and will you see her scratching her head and then holding the pills with the same hand.But she would make sure to make you sit 5ft away and explain the procedure. God knows what she writes on the prescription, hard to understand from 5ft apart. There is something called empathy. She lacks it totally.
