It was great to read the testimonials from others patients in this space that truly helped me to visit Doctor Shafalika (@Manipal hospital, Yestwanpur). So I feel sharing my own experience can also be valuable to others who might be in a similar situation.

I am writing this review on behalf of my mother who underwent laproscopic hysterectomy 1 week back. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Shafalika for the way she treated my mother. *** ** ***** *** ** *** **** ************ ************* ******** * **** **** ******* The way she patiently listens to every concern and explains everything in the simplest possible way is remarkable.My mother had been dealing with fibroids for the past five years. Two years ago, she was advised to undergo surgery, but hearing the complications of people from open hysterectomy made her postpone it. Recently, when her symptoms became severe and the fibroid had grown quite large, surgery became necessary. We consulted many doctors, but we were never fully satisfied. Then we came across Dr. Shafalika through the internet, and after reading all the positive feedback, we decided to meet her — and I can say now that it was the best decision we made.Most doctors had told us that laparoscopic surgery wouldn’t be possible because the fibroid was too big (88 × 71 mm). But after seeing the reports and understanding my mother’s medical history, Dr. Shafalika confidently assured us that she could remove it laparoscopically, and that my mother could go home the very next day.My mother, who had been so anxious about surgery, felt completely relaxed and positive after meeting her — that’s the kind of comfort and confidence Dr. Shafalika gives to her patients. From the very first meeting, her positivity, empathy, and genuine care made us feel like we were in the right hands. Dr. Shafalika doesn’t just treat patients — she truly cares for them like family.Thank you so much, Dr. Shafalika, for your kindness, support, and for making such a big difference in my mother’s life. Today, one week after surgery, she’s recovering beautifully, and we’re so thankful to you from the bottom of our hearts. I would highly recommend Dr Shafalika to everyone.

Dr. Shafalika SB is one of the kindest and most empathetic doctors I have ever come across (and coming from a family of doctors, that says a lot!). She is an expert in laparoscopic gynaecological surgeries and her skill and competence ensures successful minimally invasive surgery resulting in greatly reduced recovery timelines.

#longreviewalertI was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriotic cyst in my left ovary along with adenomyosis in the uterus about 3 years ago. Started off with medication that didn’t help at all. I had severe Dysmenorrhea and would take 5-6 pain killers per menstrual cycle. I tried to get pregnant but that didn’t happen too. My symptoms grew worse. It started affecting my daily quality of life. For the next 1 year I kept running from doctor to doctor trying to get a solution to my problem and plan a way for me to get pregnant. After running from pillar to post and after 1 failed laparoscopy surgery by another doctor (owing to the fact that my case was very complicated) I had almost reached a dead end, just then through sheer luck I was referred to Dr. Shafalika SB. I was all the way in abroad back then. That first telephonic call with her changed my very life. Given the fact that I had met so many doctors by then, I had never come across a doctor like her ever before. The way she spoke to me over the call, calmed me down like a mother would and empathized and acknowledged the suffering that I was going through was enough to take half of my anxiety away. The confidence that she spoke with, clearly explained me all the details and the steps ahead; She had a clear plan of treatment for me. Whilst I was abroad, whatever doubts I had she would patiently reply to them over whatsapp (despite having such a hectic schedule). She is an incredible person besides being a highly experienced doctor!The surgery was scheduled in April. I had too many apprehensions in my mind due to a failed laparoscopy surgery that I had undergone a few months ago (in abroad). After meeting Dr. Shafalika in person, she clearly took me through the entire condition once again, clearly explained the steps of the procedure and told me the possible outcomes of the procedure. My surgery was extremely complicated one as I had a frozen pelvis (the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel, rectum were all plastered to the uterus, the adenomyosis had spread to the entire uterus, the uterus had reached 20 weeks size). It was going to be a challenge and highly risky to separate the organs from one another and then remove the cysts. I was well informed about everything. With a doctor with such a foresight and confidence, I took the leap of faith. Inside the OT, as soon as I saw her, my anxiety disappeared. She held my hand, smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m there with you. I’ll try my best”. And with that I drifted into a sweet sleep.They say prayers have immense strength in them. 4 hours later, Dr. Shafalika came out victorious, smiling and in content with the success of the surgery. She was literally god sent! What seemed highly risky and complicated in the beginning was a success now. Dr. Shafalika was able to successfully remove the endometriotic cyst along with the adenomyosis despite the various complications. Having such experience and expertise, you can close your eyes and trust her. Here I am, writing this review because I want every woman out there like me to be able to get help. I shall forever be indebted to her.Dr. Shafalika SB is a gem of a person, highly experienced gynecologist and laparoscopic surgeon specializing in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery and one of the best doctors that I have ever come across. I would highly recommend her to everyone.
