When a family goes through difficult medical emergencies, the right doctor can make all the difference. Our family experienced this firsthand, and we remain forever grateful to Dr. Vinayaraj M. Kelagadi, Orthopedic, Joint & Spine Surgeon at Kossin Care, Bangalore, for the extraordinary care he has provided to us during the most challenging moments of our lives.
A Life-Changing Accident
One evening, I met with a severe accident while riding my moped. The fall was so hard that both my legs broke into two pieces, my thigh bone and my left shin bone were fractured in multiple places. In that moment of shock and pain, something unexpected happened: Dr. Vinay himself rushed to the accident spot with his medical team. The accident occurred close to North Bangalore Hospital, and he arrived immediately with his male nurses, ensuring I was safely lifted, stabilized, and admitted.
When skill meets compassion, healing becomes a journey of hope. Dr. Vinayaraj gave our family not just treatment, but strength, comfort, and a second chance at life.
What followed was life-changing. Despite the complexity of the fractures, Dr. Vinay fixed both my legs with remarkable precision. His expertise, calmness, and confidence gave me immense hope even during the most painful times.
Today, I am back on the football field, playing harder than ever every weekend with my friends and colleagues—a result of his exceptional surgical skill and dedicated post-operative care.
Healing an 85-Year-Old Veteran
But our story didn’t end there, Dr. Vinay also performed a highly challenging surgery on my 85-year-old father, an ex-IAF veteran. Given his age and medical history, we were extremely worried about the risks involved. However, the doctor’s clear explanations, steady confidence, and compassionate approach gave our family the assurance we desperately needed.
With great precision, he repaired my father’s hip fracture and brought him back to comfortable mobility. My father began walking well and lived actively for two more years until he peacefully left us due to age-related reasons. For us, those two meaningful years will always be a blessing—and Dr. Vinay played a major role in making them possible.
A Doctor with Skill and Heart
Throughout our journey, we experienced qualities that truly set Dr. Vinayaraj apart:
Exceptional surgical expertise
Deep compassion and patience
Respect for elderly patients and ex-service members
Clear communication and emotional support to families
Treating complex fractures is not easy. Treating an elderly veteran is even harder. Yet, Dr. Vinay approached every challenge with respect, empathy, and surgical excellence.
Doctors like him are rare.
A truly outstanding orthopedic surgeon with both skill and heart. God bless you and your family, Doctor.
