About Us
Pristine Hospital and Research Centre Private Limited (PHRCL) was established in 2002 by a group of four highly experienced surgeons in the fields of Orthopedics and Neurosurgery, aiming to meet the healthcare needs of northwest Bangalore. The founding team includes Dr. H.M. Prasanna (Orthopedics), Dr. Anantha Kishan (Neurosurgeon), Dr. G. Lakshminarayanan (Neurosurgeon), and Dr. Balachandra Vasanathaiah (Orthopedics), each with extensive experience in leading healthcare institutions both in India and abroad.
With a shared vision of “Service to Society,” they named the hospital “Pristine” to represent their commitment to delivering clean, transparent, and high-quality healthcare services. The hospital’s location on Modi Hospital Road, West of Chord Road, was carefully chosen for its central proximity to Bangalore’s key areas, including the railway station, old airport, and business district. Hospital has since been a trusted name in healthcare in Bangalore. The hospital was conceptualized in 2002 and was inaugurated on August 2nd 2004.
The hospital set a new benchmark for quality healthcare in its surrounding. Main focus on Orthopedics, Neuro Sciences, Critical care, Plastic & Trauma services.
On expanding operational horizons PHRCL has tied up with many peripheral and small-town hospitals to become information centers and out-reach hospitals. Numerous health camps have been conducted both in the hospital and in surrounding cities in collaboration with Rotary, Lions and Ramakrishna Ashram. Even camps in major cities like Mysore with a number of reputed hospitals have drawn sizable crowds. We were also conducting regular Out-Patient clinics in Kolkata, West Bengal and attracted plenty of patients from that area in the field of Neurosurgery and Orthopedics. PHRCL is also providing excellent quality medical care for patients from African countries mainly Tanzania and Kenya. Hospital directors and consultants have been giving health talks regularly on TV programs and in MNC’s.
PHRCL has to its credit the performance of more than 20,000+ major surgeries up to date.
Surgeries include complicated brain and spinal cord tumor surgeries, spine surgeries, Complex Trauma, joint replacement surgeries, laparoscopic surgeries, plastic surgeries, maxillofacial surgeries and so on.
