Real experiences from patients who chose Dr. Srihari Shapur for laparoscopic, laser, and minimally invasive surgical care across Bangalore.
"I had been told by two other doctors that I needed open surgery for my hernia because of its size. Dr. Shapur reviewed my scans and told me he could do it laparoscopically — which he did. I was home the same evening. I'm 67, and the recovery was easier than I imagined possible. I am deeply grateful."
"I had three previous surgeries for anal fistula at different hospitals. None of them worked. My gastroenterologist referred me to Dr. Shapur specifically for the VAAFT procedure. That was 14 months ago. I have had zero recurrence. The procedure itself was far less painful than anything I'd experienced before. If you have a fistula problem that keeps coming back, this is where you come."
"The embarrassment of discussing this condition meant I delayed treatment for three years. Dr. Shapur's clinic was completely professional and private. He was matter-of-fact and kind — no judgment whatsoever. The laser treatment was done in 20 minutes and I genuinely felt no pain. I was home before lunch. I wish I had done this years ago."
"I'd been told by a vascular surgeon I needed traditional vein stripping surgery, which sounded terrifying. A colleague who'd had EVLT with Dr. Shapur suggested I get a second opinion. Dr. Shapur confirmed I was a good candidate for laser treatment. I walked into the procedure room at 10am and was at my desk by 2pm the same day. No scars, no pain, no veins. Absolutely remarkable."
"I had been having gallbladder attacks for eight months. My family was worried sick. Dr. Shapur was completely calm and reassuring. He explained the surgery so thoroughly that by the time the day came, I wasn't frightened at all. The surgery was done in under an hour, and I was home the next morning. Two weeks later, I was fully back at school."
