ನನ್ನ ತಾಯಿ ಗಂಭೀರವಾಗಿ ಶಿರೋನಾಳ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಯಿಂದ ಬಳಲುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು. ಹಲವರು ಶಸ್ತ್ರಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆಯ ಅಪಾಯಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಎಚ್ಚರಿಸಿದರು, ಆದರೆ ಡಾ. ಥಿಮಪ್ಪ ಹೆಗ್ಡೆ ಅವರ ನೈಸರ್ಗಿಕ ಧೈರ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಪರಿಣತಿ ನಮಗೆ ಭರವಸೆ ನೀಡಿತು. ಶಸ್ತ್ರಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆಯ ನಂತರ, ಅವರು ಈಗ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅವರ ಆತ್ಮೀಯ ಸೇವೆಗೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಕುಟುಂಬ ಸದಾಕಾಲ ಕೃತಜ್ಞ.
When my sister Priya was diagnosed with epilepsy, we were devastated. Dr. Thimappa Hegde explained everything patiently and recommended epilepsy surgery. It’s been a year, and she hasn’t had a single seizure! His expertise and compassionate approach gave us hope when we had none. Forever grateful!
ಅಪ್ಪನಿಗೆ ಪಾರ್ಕಿನ್ಸನ್ ಸೌಜನ್ಯ, ಡೀಪ್ ಬ್ರೇನ್ ಸ್ಟಿಮ್ಯುಲೇಶನ್ ಶಸ್ತ್ರಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆ ಮಾಡಲಾಯಿತು. ಈಗ ಕೈನಡಿಗೆಯಿಲ್ಲ, ಮಾತು ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟ. ಡಾ. ಹೆಗ್ಡೆ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು.
डॉ. हेगड़े ने मेरे ब्रेन हेमरेज का सही इलाज किया।
I had a terrible accident, and my spine was badly injured. Doctors said surgery was risky, but Dr. Thimappa Hegde assured me and performed the surgery. 6 months later, I was walking again. Truly a miracle. Hats off to the best neurosurgeon.
ಅಮರ್‌ಗೆ ಸ್ಪೈನಲ್ ಟ್ಯೂಮರ್ ಇದ್ದು ಭಯಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದೆವು. ಡಾ. ಹೆಗ್ಡೆಯ ಶಸ್ತ್ರಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆಯಿಂದ ಅವರು ಈಗ ಆರೋಗ್ಯವಂತರಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಈ ವಿಶ್ವಾಸ ದಾತೃ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು.
मेरे पिता को ब्रेन हैमरेज हुआ था। डॉ. हेगड़े की सर्जरी ने उनकी जान बचा ली। हम हमेशा आभारी रहेंगे।
