Dr. Padmamalani, a very senior specialist Doctor in Uveitis and Ocular Immunology Services has helped my wife Mrs. Arathi Ravichandra for almost a decade with utmost care and guidance. The Uveitis problem has improved steadily for a logical end. We are very grateful to her for all the motivation, guidance during the treatment. Thank you very much Doctor. With Warmest Regards, Ravichandra CS Dr. RAVI KRISHNA, CATARACT and REFRACTIVE specialist Surgeon treated my wife Mrs. Arathi Ravi chandra who had to under go CATARACT surgery. Dr. RAVI KRISHNA, having decades of experience, was not only very caring, motivating but also a person to approach with naive questions which were answered in simplest way. We can only vouch, he has a safe pair of hands which helped in heeling my wife for a gifted vision. Last not least, we wish to convey our thanks to his support staff as well for their caring and guidance during the process to us. We wish them all a very best for their future endeavours. Regards.

Feedback for Dr. Padmamalini at Narayana Nethralaya I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Padmamalini for her exceptional care and treatment. I initially experienced distorted vision in my left eye, where objects appeared wavy and the lines I looked at were curved. After visiting several doctors in Bangalore over the course of two weeks, we were referred to Narayana Nethralaya, where we consulted with Dr. Ramgopal. He recommended I see Dr. Padmamalini, a specialist in uveitis. Upon examination, Dr. Padmamalini diagnosed me with either a punctate neovascular membrane or a choroidal neovascular membrane and advised starting Anti-VEGF injections. Thanks to her timely intervention and expertise, I am pleased to report that my vision has improved dramatically. Seven months later, I’ve regained about 98% of my vision. The distortion is almost completely gone, with only a slight curve remaining when I look at straight lines, but there are no other visible hindrances to my vision. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Padmamalini for her thorough diagnosis, compassionate care, and the ongoing support throughout my treatment. Thanks to her, I can see clearly again, and I will be forever thankful for the positive impact she’s had on my life

We visit Dr. Poornachandra and Dr. Padmamalini very often and we are very satisfied with the treatment. However, I would recommend some improvement in handling the patient queue especially for children. Sometimes it takes a whole day to complete 2 visits

The experience at the hospital has been really good. The doctors are very experienced and take care of the patients in the best possible way ( Satidevi, Chaitra Jaydev, Padmamalini, Ravi Krishna). The staff is extremely helpful too, would like to call out Rajeswari, Roopa Prakash, Laxmi, Nisha and Puneeth for their assistance.

I had an exceptional experience at the hospital, particularly with Dr. Padmamalini, an expert in uveitis. Her extensive knowledge and skill in her field are truly remarkable. She provided top-notch care and took the time to explain my condition in detail, ensuring I felt comfortable and well-informed. Equally impressive was my experience with Dr. Anusha Arvind, the neuro-ophthalmologist. Her expertise and compassionate approach were evident from the moment I met her. She, along with her efficient and professional team, made my visit smooth and reassuring. A special mention to Mrs. Archana, the receptionist, whose friendly and helpful demeanor added to the positive experience. The Neuro Ophthalmology department as a whole demonstrated exceptional service and efficiency. The hospital offers a wide range of services and maintains high standards of care across all departments. I highly recommend this hospital for anyone seeking comprehensive and expert medical services. The dedication and professionalism of the staff are truly impressive!

I have been treated by Dr Padmamalini for Uveitis since March 2022. I was referred to her as my condition had deteriorated quite badly. My vision was nill in the left eye and minimal in the right eye. After Dr Padmamilini was able to contain inflammation subsequently and proposed the Cataract surgeries in both eye.I was operated by Dr Ravi Krishna in both eyes and after a long time I was able to see properly. I am surprised by the humility the entire staff shows towards the patient. I would anyway recommend both these doctors and the hospital for any eye related ailments.
