With an enriching medical journey spanning over a decade, Dr. Bharath brings deep clinical insight into the early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of complex paediatric heart disorders. His academic foundation has been built through an MBBS from Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Hubli, followed by an MD in Paediatrics from Mysore Medical College and Research Institute. Driven by a genuine passion for paediatric heart care, he further pursued a two-year Fellowship of the National Board (FNB) in Paediatric Cardiology, which strengthened his expertise in handling advanced congenital heart disease, paediatric cardiac emergencies, and interventional paediatric cardiology.
This strong blend of paediatrics and paediatric cardiology training enables him to not only understand the cardiac issue but also the child’s overall physical, emotional, and developmental well-being a quality that reassures parents who place their trust in him.

His competence as a primary operator in diagnostic paediatric cardiac catheterisations for diagnostic and hemodynamic assessment, procedures has helped many young patients receive timely surgical or interventional treatment. In addition, he has independently performed a wide range of paediatric cardiac interventions such as ASD and VSD device closures, PDA closure, stenting of narrowed vessels, balloon dilatation for conditions like pulmonary stenosis, aortic stenosis, and coarctation of the aorta, along with stenting procedures for complex cardiac anatomies. His precision and clarity in making treatment decisions with a child-first approach have earned him immense respect from parents and colleagues, further strengthening his reputation as one of the best paediatric cardiologists in Marathahalli, for both routine and high-risk cases.
Beyond clinical care, Dr. Bharath strongly believes in academic contribution and continuous learning.

His case studies have served as vital learning resources for clinicians across India, reflecting his commitment to advancing the field of paediatric cardiology. His ability to communicate seamlessly in both Kannada and English further enhances this experience, helping parents feel supported, heard, and fully informed throughout their child’s care.
Known for his empathetic communication, he ensures that parents understand every step of the diagnostic and treatment journey. His counselling style reduces anxiety for families making critical decisions for their children. Dr. Bharath’s vision is to contribute towards building an integrated paediatric cardiac care ecosystem that brings together paediatric cardiologists, paediatric cardiac surgeons, cardiac anaesthetists, and intensive care specialists to ensure safe and seamless care for young patients.
