Dr. Kishen changed my life! I had been struggling with scoliosis for years, and my condition worsened, limiting my mobility. After visiting Manipal Hospitals, Old Airport Road, I underwent a successful surgery. Truly the Best Spine Surgeon in Manipal Hospital Bangalore.
I visited Dr. Thomas for spinal fusion surgery. Before this, I couldn’t even sit for 30 minutes without severe pain. His warm nature and attention to every detail made my experience exceptional. He is, without a doubt, the Top Spine Care Specialist in Manipal Old Airport Road. I highly recommend him.
I went to Dr. Kishen for my father, who had severe lower back pain. He guided us with simple lifestyle changes and medications. Dr. Kishen’s personal attention and expertise are unmatched. Thank you for caring so much.
