We had consulted Dr.Magnus for a recurring gastric pain of a family member. He gave us a patient hearing to understand the symptoms and the pain patterns. He recommended a few tests and promptly reviewed the reports. After ruling out all the possibilities, he recommended laparoscopic cholecystectomy. He made us fully aware of the pros and cons of the surgery and allowed us to get comfortable with the procedure. Dr.Magnus performed the procedure @ Manipal Hospital, Old Airport road; the surgery was successful. We were fully satisfied with the pre and post operative care of Dr.Magnus and his team. I highly recommend Dr.Magnus.

I’m Bhushan Shah, proprietor of Windex Tours & Travels, Ahmedabad. Diagnosed with liver cirrhosis and HCC since 2017, I consulted top hospitals across India, but none gave me confidence—until I contacted Dr. Magnus Jayaraj. After his response, I flew to Chennai and instantly decided to proceed under his care. I underwent a liver transplant on 18th Jan 2025, and just 29 days later, I’m returning to Ahmedabad, pain-free. It felt like an “eject-and-inject” surgery—absolutely painless. Dr. Magnus is a true magician, supported by his dedicated team of doctors and nurses. I’m forever grateful for this life-changing experience.

I’m Palani Loganathan from Chengalpattu. My son, P. Sureshkumar (48), suffered from severe liver disease. For years, we struggled without proper guidance—visiting major hospitals across India with no results. Our lives were filled with pain and uncertainty until we met Dr. Magnus Jayaraj Mansard at GEM Hospital. His clear guidance, counseling, and compassion gave us hope. Through his dedicated efforts, my son received a life-saving liver transplant on 17/01/25. We’re forever grateful to Dr. Magnus and the entire GEM Hospital team. GEM truly stands for Gentle Early Medical care. I urge others to seek timely treatment at GEM Hospital.

My husband suffered from liver cirrhosis, and doctors recommended a liver transplant. After 1.5 years, we finally got a donor. Dr. Magnus clearly explained the procedure and updated us daily on my husband’s condition. Though his condition turned critical two days after surgery, Dr. Magnus’s words gave me hope. He cared for my husband like family and still checks on us regularly. He is truly like God to us. The liver transplant team and GEM Hospital prioritized saving his life over money. Their dedication in that critical moment is why we are happy today. Heartfelt thanks to the entire team.

From my grandmother —> At the ripe age of 78, I found myself facing an umbilical hernia that required surgical attention. Dr. Magnus Jayaraj Mansard, my surgeon, was an absolute godsend throughout this entire process. From the moment I met him in the clinic, his warm demeanor and patient explanations put me at ease.

On the day of the surgery, the hospital staff’s care was exceptional. Dr. Magnus’s skill in performing the procedure left me with minimal discomfort, and the laparoscopic approach meant a quicker recovery for an old-timer like me.

During my hospital stay, the nursing team provided attentive and considerate care, ensuring my postoperative comfort. Doctor’s post-surgery visits were filled with genuine concern for my well-being.

Now, a few weeks post-surgery, I am amazed at the progress. Dr. Magnu’s expertise, coupled with the support from the hospital staff, has made this journey far smoother than I anticipated. If you find yourself in need of a skilled and compassionate surgeon, especially in your golden years, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Magnus Jayaraj Mansard.

I am Muthu from Pondicherry, an IT professional who was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis final stage in the month of January 2023. I’ve registered for a cadaver for liver transplantation in various hospitals from time to time and waited for the call. In the first year of my diagnosis I was not having many complications but in later days I started to experience the complications like  ascites, edema, blood vomit with black stools, muscle loss, fluids in lungs and weakness. At one period I was even bedridden and I was not able to perform my own day-to-day activities. There came Dr.Magnus and his team as saviours. He strictly said unless you are mobilizing yourself you will not be fit for the operation. He didn’t stop there, he gave various medications, conducted many blood tests, physiotherapy and visited me frequently. In a month’s time I was able to walk and perform my activities. Then the operation took place. Dr.Magnus, Dr.RajKumar and their team performed the 15 hours operation on a fine day in July 2025 and today, one month after the surgery i am writing this and being able to walk without any help and visit him for reviews … I would be forever grateful to Dr.Magnus, Team Doctors, Nurses and Physiotherapists who are responsible for my second life. Now it’s time to restart my happy life with discipline and responsibility ❣️ 🙏
