Warm greetings doctor.
My mother has polio. She met with an accident 4 yrs back. We had consulted many doctors in mumbai where she had been asked to get her leg operated.
I am though in a dilemma whether she would walk again considering thats a weak leg. Moreover no insurance company is covering her coz of the congenital condition.
Request your kind guidance considering your rich medical roots.
She is presently located in udupi.

Dr Badur Rajeeth Shetty, Qatar:
DrM Shantharam Shetty is a person i would worship him for my life. He has changed many a lives.
My father had the privilege to work with this great man at Government wenlok hospital. One day he adviced him that he should think of his family in addition to discharge his hospital duties.This advice changed our destiny,the testimony is his children and grandchildren.
Most of us know DrShetty,in fact any problems in our family dad used to consult him and DR Shetty had solutions. My Sister and Dad were his patients too.
My dad had a bad road traffic accident.His right hand was totally shattered, which was expertly fixed by Dr Shetty.Another incident was related to my fathers patient.This elderly gentleman had a fall and broke his leg,and so he went to a local hospital for which he was adviced to continue with conservative treatement because of his age. And so his son came to my dad,who suggested Dr Shetty for treatment.I still remember the smiling old man walking to my dads clinic exactly after a week. What a transformation. May God bless Professor M Shantharam shetty and his family with happiness

Dr. S. Shetty, truly a jewel of our KUDLA, better to say of our nation.
Divya Prabhu, UAE:
Yes, Even I have met Dr. Shetty in 2002 and even I have felt the same way like Richie John Pais, India. Indeed he is a GOD in the form of man. Every doctor is a GOD to his patient but very sorry to say not many doctors live up to their expectations these days. Dr. shetty, the way you have lived your life and served your patients is exemplary and a lesson to young doctors.
May GOD bless you and I wish you a very long and healthy life.

Dr.K.G.Bhat,Vittal, India :
i was not fortunate enough to be Prof.Shetty’s student. Whenever I see him in his immaculately tailored suit that is is as fresh as the man himself, I remember one of the greatest teachers I ever had,PROF..R.H.N.Shenoy, whom I remember every morning. This is good enough tribute to Prof.Shetty
mohammed ibrahim ideal indian school, Qatar:

Shahab Arabi , Mangalore, India :
What a great dignified personality Mr Shantaram Shetty is. No words to describe such a great person that he is. So composed and calm in spite of his busy hectic schedule. I remember he examining me for right knee (ligament injury) at around 12:45 a.m midnight some years back. That was his commitment .
Thanks Mangalorean.com to write about this great personality .
Thank you

I cannot forget the day when my brother Mr Bharath Kumar met with a road accident on the way to work in the early hour’s & had multiple fractures in both the hands & Dr. Shantharam Shetty made arrangements for an emergency operation INSPITE HE WAS VERY SICK THAT DAY. MAY THE GOD GIVE HIM HUNDRED’S & HUNDRED YEARS OF LIFE AND STRENGHT TO SERVE THE POOR.

He must have got lot of honours. But has touched laymens heart. That counts most.
Richard D Souza , Qatar:
I have met this great yet humble doctor. He went out of the way to help my son with DMD. Though he could do nothing for him his attitude of help itself was a great consolation. A real role model for all aspiring doctors.
God bless him.

Daya Kirodian, Dubai, UAE:
Congratulations to Dr Shantaram Shetty. I suffered from Disc prolax and consulted lot of doctors in Dubai but they were unable to diagonise my problem. I was not able to walk and finally I went to Mangalore and got an appointment with Dr Shantharam at 2.00 Am (early morning). After checking me within 5 mnts he admitted and fourth day I was able to walk. There is nobody who can beat this doctor in ortho.
Wishing him and his family good luck and may God bless him and serve more people.
Narayana Puthran,Ullal, UAE:
Dr. Shantharam Shetty, Hats off to you Sir. In 1982 you did an operation to my 70 years old Mother, when she was bed ridden due to the damage & displacement of her previously fixed plate on her thigh. Other Doctors had refused do the re-opertion because of her old age, but Mr. Shetty agreed to do the operation
The operation consists:
a) Removal of old & damaged plate & screws which were fixed 5years ago(1977) by other Doctor.
b) Filling old 6 hols by bone grafting.
c, Fixing new two nos. of plates each with 6nos. of screws.
This operation took more than 6 hours & he did the operation in Govt, Wenlock Hospital free of cost.
After this opertion within two months my Mother started walking normally & she lived for 17 years more.(died at the age of 87 years)
In another case one of my friend who met with an Bike & Truck accident & got multiple fractures. His right leg got crushed. The doctors on duty had decided to go for amputation of his badlly damaged right leg from upper part of thigh.
Immediatly we approched Dr. Shantharam Shetty & requested to save his leg. He accepted the risk & with in the period of six months he did more than 18 operations on leg & finally succeded in saving his leg. Now Mr. Rajesh Bharadwaj is walking on both his legs because of Dr, Shetty’s great care, patience & healing hands.
May God Bless you sir!
Rakesh Shetty, UAE:
Congratulations to Dr. Shantaram Shetty. We are proud of you. You have done excellent service to our society. A very good effort by Mangalorean.com website to highlight Dr. Shetty’s achievments. We need “good leaders with secular credentials” like Mr. Shantaram Shetty, who can bring communal harmony and peace in our beloved Tulu Nadu. All the best Dr. Shetty in your endeavors.
Ronald Colaco, Mangalore-India, India :
DR.Shantaram Shetty is a great personality in the Orthopedics field in the country. Though I was not very much aware of his many achievements till recently, it is his younger brother Mr. Sakaram Shetty, a senior engineer, in USA, who has got to his credit a few Architectural marvels, gave me a few clues recently about Dr. Shantharam. In fact, Mr. Sakaram Shettys contacts were given to me by Dr. Shantharam Shetty some were in 2006. It is a wonderful feeling, that he is one of the great Mangaloreans in the Medical field with a Magic touch. As Mangaloreans we are lucky & privileged to have him in our midst. May he have many more years of an active life in his great profession.
Alwyn d,souza, India:
As I know Dr Shantaram is a God’s gift to South Kanara and the places he visits. People have faith on him may God give him good health.
Sequeira R , UAE:
He is one of the best gift by God to mankind, He has treated thousands of people irrespective of thier cast/creed/relgion/state
I salute this great man for his never ending desire to treat people
He was student of St Sebastains School Bendur (as told by my father)
Lawrence Mascarenhas, USA :
Dr. Shantharam Shetty is a very kind and humble man. His compassion towards his patients is one of the medicines that heals the most. Unfortunately, we have a very few doctors like him.
RAVIKIRAN KARKERA, USA :
Dear Dr.ji
Congratulations on being a Mangalorean Star. This is a small gift from all the Mangaloreans to you…We pray the almighty to give you long life and strength to serve the society.
Meera Nazareth, Canada:
I have been a patient of Dr. Shantharam Shetty…rather I just went in for a consultation…guess it was more psychological than having a problem itself. He put me at ease, strongly confirming that I had absolutely no problem at all. I have not seen a doctor for the same problem again and I am perfectly ok. Thanks to Dr. Shetty. The most important part of this article is his statement which NO other doctor will admit…yes, we go to a doctor with good faith, and as Doctor Shetty has so rightfully said “doctors can only treat their patients, but it is only God who truly heals them”. May God bless Dr. Shetty for this acknowledgement.
Donald Roche, India:
Dr.Shantaram Shetty- A outstanding personality of Mangalore. Outstanding among orthopaedic surgeons of India. I thank you Doctor for supporting me by Prescribing our products when I was working forM P I. I always remember your smiling face. I always appreciate your hardwork, your help to suffering humanity with smile and cheerfulness. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.Thankyou for your message.
Michael Lobo, Mangalore, India:
HE IS AN EXCEPTIONAL/EXTRAORDINARY HUMAN BEING. A life completly dedicated to the service of society. Countable people can truly match the calibre of Dr. Shetty. He is worthy of emulation – a great inspiraton for many Mangaloreans. My dad breathed his last in his hospital (city hosp.), but he has done everything possible to treat my Dad. There are many misguided youth in Mangalore – may be they can pick a leaf from Dr. Shetty’s life and get inspired to do good to the society by educating themselves. How wonderful it will be to find a person like Dr. Shetty among our misguided youth. We all need to think about it.
Nazeer Kuwait /Uppinangady, Kuwait:

sudhakar alva, UAE:
Dr Shantharam shetty is not only a star of mangalore, he is a star of India. One of the best dedicated, always smiling Dr in Karnataka. Anytime avialable with all his busy shedule, even in night 2a.m. (if he is in Mangalore). I know one incident, he operated one serious accident emergency case at 2a.m in the morning. There will be thousands of examples like this. May the Lord give long life to you and family to serve the needy. Thanks manglorean.com for featuring him.

Congratulations to Dr. Shantaram Shetty, a well deserving candidate. I remember my brief interaction with him in 2004 (City hospital) and he came across as a no-nonsense, kind doctor.
Dorothy Rego nee D’Lima, Canada :
Congratulations Dr. Shetty. Your hard work and dedication to the betterment of human life deserves this honour. I have read a lot about your contribution to Science and healing. Also in 1983, I was very proud to receive a certificate in General proficiency from you (the chief guest) during our school day at Rosa Mystica High School, Kaikamba. Your family, especially your three girls (I was Ambika’s classmate at St. Agnes) must be very proud of you.
Manoj Kidiyoor, USA:
Dr. Shantharam Shetty, Hats off to you Sir!. Around 30 years ago, when my Dad had a serious accident where he broke 5 ribs and a dislocated shoulder, Dr. Shetty attended him and with his care, my dad is just as normal as the other person. When I broke my hand twice, Dr. Shetty fixed it. Like me, Dr. Shetty has shown light to many and many People who once lost hope. May God Bless you sir!
Claude Fernandes, UAE:
Dr. Shantharam Shetty saved the life of our friends child when they approached him for a second opinion. Their child had some problems with her ankle and used to walk on her toes. The doctors in UAE suggested them to operate her tendon. They did not have the courage to do that, because this child was the first gift in their life. They decided to take a second opinion from this great Doctor. Even though he was under immense pressure those days (year 2001) he attended to their plea, ignoring his problems. He was in a state of awe when they told him that the doctors in UAE had advised them to go in for an operation. Today the child has grown up and can walk without any problems. Thanks to Dr. Shantaram Shetty for saving the life of an infant and the healing touch. Let this be a testimony to all those who encounter problems in life because second opinion always helps. Thanks to Violet and team for making him a Mangalorean star – October 2008. This world would definitely be a nice place to dwell in if there were many more doctors like him.
Long live the Dr. Shantaram – The doctor with a healing touch and a radiant look on his face.
Joseph D’souza,Mudarangadi/Ajman, UAE:

Long live Dr. Shantaram Shetty!
Shenoy, India:
Dr Shantaram Shetty is indeed one of the most talented surgeons from South Kanara. His ability to reduce the fractures within a minute or two very accurately without leaving any deformity is God’s gift to this soft spoken polite surgeon who is extremely humble in his out look. May God bless him many more years of useful life.
Antony T. D’ Souza, Karkala, Qatar:
Back in 1983 from Karkala, along with my mother we visited Dr. Shantharam Shetty’s house in Mallikatta early in the morning. Though he was hurrying to his office his patience, calm composure, gentle talk and approach, consoling words and his confidence building smile to us almost took away our almost all nervous thoughts. We were totally worried earlier because it was wrongly diagnosed by another doctor. After medication my mother fully recovered until today from cervical spondalities promptly. By this I am confident that Dr. Shetty must have healed hundred thousands of people. It was a honor to go through his qualifications, Honors and Awards, Achievements and recognitions etc., Sincere thanks to Mangalore.com and Ms. Violet Pereira for providing us insight and particularly providing me an opportunity to say once again “THANK YOU DOCTOR”.
Sarvotham Shetty & Family, Abu Dhabi, UAE:
Dearest Shantaramanna,
Our hearty congratulations. May GOD bless you with good health, happiness, peace and strength to do much more noble causes in future. On behalf of UAE Kannadigas, I wish you all the very best. Thanks to Violet and Mangalorean.com for highlighting this great personality.
Richie John Pais, India:
He is one of the few doctors in Mangalore who is revered as God. We can not add anything to his persona by saying few or more things about him. I saw him a few days back near the lift at his hospital “Tejaswini”. So many people were around him. And all of them including me were speechless and hence we all consiously ( and collectively) allowed him to pass by us.
