General Surgeon on Sarjapur Road

A general surgeon on Sarjapur Main Road

If you live along Sarjapur Road, you do not need to cross the city to see a surgeon. Dr. Sanjit, a General and Minimal Access (Laparoscopic) Surgeon, consults at two places on Sarjapur Main Road: SPARSH Hospital at Carmelaram during the day, and his evening clinic at Doddakannelli after office hours.

Patients come to him from Carmelaram, Doddakannelli, Kodathi, Dommasandra, Chikkakannalli, Kasavanahalli and Haralur, and from the Wipro and Outer Ring Road end of the road. For most of them the drive is short, which matters more than people expect when you are recovering from an operation and need to come back for a review.

Days: SPARSH Hospital, Carmelaram

From 10 am to 5 pm, Dr. Sanjit consults and operates at SPARSH Hospital, Sarjapur Road, #76, SY No. 26/7, Sarjapur Main Road, Carmelaram, Bengaluru 560035. The hospital is on the main road at Carmelaram, further out from Doddakannelli in the direction of Dommasandra and Sarjapur town.

Because this is where planned surgery is done, a daytime visit suits patients who can come during working hours, or who would like to see the hospital before deciding. Operations such as hernia repair, gallbladder removal and laser treatment for varicose veins are carried out here.

Evenings: clinic in Doddakannelli

From 5 pm to 8 pm, Dr. Sanjit sees patients at his evening clinic, 3rd Floor, SGR-2, Sarjapur Main Road, Doddakannelli, Bengaluru 560035. Doddakannelli is on the city side of Sarjapur Road, near the Wipro campus, so it is easy to stop at on the way back from work.

The evening clinic is meant for people who cannot take a day off for a first visit: office-goers on the Outer Ring Road, parents managing school runs, and family members who want to come along after work. First consultations, review visits and discussions of scan reports all happen here. If you need an operation, it is planned at the hospital in Carmelaram.

What patients from Sarjapur Road usually come in with

These are the conditions Dr. Sanjit treats most often for families along this stretch:

• Hernias in the groin or around the belly button, often noticed after lifting, a gym session or a bad cough. Most can be repaired by keyhole surgery.
• Gallbladder stones, found on a routine health-check scan or after an attack of upper tummy pain following a heavy meal.
• Piles, fissure and fistula, made worse by long hours of sitting, constipation and spicy food. Laser treatment is an option for many.
• Varicose veins in people who stand for long hours at work.
• Lumps under the skin, such as a lipoma or sebaceous cyst.

If you have sudden, severe tummy pain, fever with pain, or vomiting that will not settle, do not wait for a clinic slot. Go to the nearest hospital emergency department.

What happens at the first consultation

Dr. Sanjit starts by listening: how the problem began, what makes it worse and what worries you most. He then examines you, looks at your scan and explains in plain words what it shows. If a test is missing, such as an ultrasound, he will tell you which one and why.

You leave knowing your options, including whether it is safe to wait. If surgery is advised, he explains the approach, the likely hospital stay and the recovery, so you can plan work and home around it. Many patients prefer to go home and talk it over with family first, which is perfectly fine.

Why a nearby surgeon helps after surgery

The operation is only one part of treatment. After a hernia repair or gallbladder removal there is usually a review visit within the first couple of weeks, and after laser treatment for piles or veins you may be asked to come back so the result can be checked.

When the clinic is a few minutes down the road, these visits are easy to keep, and a new worry can be looked at quickly. It also means a family member can usually drive you without taking a full day off.

What to bring to your first visit

• Any ultrasound, CT or MRI report, and the images on a CD or your phone if you have them
• Recent blood test reports
• A list of the medicines you take, especially blood thinners and diabetes or blood pressure tablets
• Notes or discharge summaries from any earlier surgery
• Your health insurance card or policy details, if you plan to use insurance
• A family member, if you would like a second pair of ears
