Written by Dr. G Harsha Vardhan Reddy, DM Medical Gastroenterology, Consultant Gastroenterologist, Hepatologist & Therapeutic Endoscopist — Adithya Gastro and Liver Care, Manikonda | Medicover Hospitals, Financial District, Hyderabad
If you live in Manikonda,
Kokapet, Narsingi, or Puppalaguda and you've been dealing with a digestive or
liver problem, you've probably faced a familiar choice: travel to a large
hospital somewhere else in Hyderabad, or try to find a specialist closer to home.
This part of Hyderabad has
grown faster than almost anywhere else in the city over the last decade. The
residential density here now rivals any established locality, and the health
infrastructure has been slowly catching up. Adithya Gastro and Liver Care was
established precisely to bring specialist gastroenterology and liver care into
this corridor — so that residents of Manikonda and the surrounding areas don't
have to drive to Jubilee Hills or HITEC City every time they need a
gastroenterology consultation.
Let me walk through what we
offer, who typically comes to us, and how the clinic connects to more advanced
procedures when needed.
What Adithya Gastro and Liver Care Is
Adithya Gastro and Liver
Care is a dedicated gastroenterology and hepatology clinic at the 4th Floor,
Sai Vaishnavi Residency, Pipeline Road, Manikonda. The clinic is my primary OPD
practice — where I see patients for initial consultations, follow-ups, diagnosis,
investigations, and medical management of digestive and liver conditions.
The clinic is equipped for
routine diagnostic work — endoscopy, colonoscopy, liver function assessment,
and ultrasound interpretation. For more advanced procedures — ERCP, endoscopic
ultrasound, EVL banding, metal stenting, and interventional hepatobiliary
endoscopy — I perform those at Medicover Hospitals, Financial District, which
is about 10 to 15 minutes from Manikonda. In many cases, the workup and
diagnosis happen at the Manikonda clinic, and the procedure is then scheduled
at Medicover. Patients don't need to find a different doctor or navigate a new
hospital system — the same doctor manages the complete pathway.
Who Comes to the Clinic
The patient population at
Adithya Gastro is broad, which reflects the range of conditions that
gastroenterology covers. On a typical OPD day, I see:
•
Patients with recurring
acidity, heartburn, or symptoms diagnosed as GERD — many of whom have been on
antacids for months without a proper investigation
•
Patients referred with an
ultrasound showing fatty liver, who have had no structured consultation about
what to do about it
•
Patients with symptoms of
IBS — chronic bloating, irregular bowel habits, abdominal discomfort — who are
frustrated at having no clear diagnosis
•
Patients with jaundice,
elevated liver enzymes, or suspected hepatitis who need a hepatologist's
assessment
•
Patients with gallstones or
pancreatitis who need evaluation before a decision on management
•
Patients with blood in
stool, chronic diarrhoea, or constipation that has not responded to
self-treatment
•
Patients who need a
colonoscopy for screening or symptoms, particularly those above 45
Many patients arrive after
months — sometimes years — of managing symptoms with over-the-counter
medications, with no clear diagnosis. A specialist consultation is often the
first time they've had a systematic investigation of what is actually going on.
Why Having a Specialist Locally Matters
This is worth saying
directly, because it's a practical reality for patients in this part of
Hyderabad.
Gastroenterology is a
referral-heavy specialty. When a GP suspects a digestive or liver problem, the
next step is almost always a gastroenterologist. In Manikonda and the
surrounding areas, many patients end up on Practo or Justdial looking for the
nearest specialist — and the options within a reasonable distance have
historically been limited.
Having a dedicated
gastroenterology clinic within the locality changes that. It makes follow-up
appointments easier, which matters when managing conditions like fatty liver,
IBD, or hepatitis that require monitoring over months. It means a patient who
needs an endoscopy doesn't have to travel to PACE or Yashoda or Apollo for a
routine upper GI scope. And for patients who need ongoing liver management, a
local hepatologist means continuity of care rather than an episodic
consultation.
The Link to Advanced Interventional Procedures
One aspect of the practice
that is less commonly found at a standalone gastroenterology clinic is the
connection to advanced therapeutic endoscopy. My training and practice includes
ERCP, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), EUS-guided biliary drainage, EVL banding for
esophageal varices, metal stenting for biliary obstruction, endoscopic
dilatation of strictures, and PEG tube placement.
These are procedures that
most gastroenterologists refer out. I perform them directly, at Medicover
Financial District. What this means for a Manikonda patient is that if their
workup reveals a bile duct stone, a pancreatic lesion, or liver cirrhosis with
varices, the same doctor who diagnosed the condition can perform the required
procedure — without referral, without transfer, and without the patient needing
to explain their history to a new specialist.
For patients who arrive at
the Manikonda clinic with an ultrasound showing a dilated bile duct, or a CT
suggesting a pancreatic abnormality, or a diagnosis of portal hypertension with
suspected varices — those investigations, and the subsequent procedures, are
managed through the same practice.
How to Reach Us and What to Bring
The clinic is at 4th Floor,
Sai Vaishnavi Residency, 402, Pipeline Road, above Sri Raghavendra Hotel,
Manikonda, Hyderabad — 500089.
If you're coming for a
first consultation, bring any previous reports — ultrasound scans, blood test
results, endoscopy reports, medications you're currently taking. This lets me
start from a more informed position and avoids repeating investigations unnecessarily.
For patients from Kokapet,
Narsingi, Puppalaguda, Financial District, Kondapur, Gachibowli, and nearby
areas — the clinic is accessible without requiring a long drive into central
Hyderabad.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What
conditions does Adithya Gastro treat?
A: The clinic treats the full
range of gastrointestinal and liver conditions — including GERD, peptic ulcers,
fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis, IBS, IBD, pancreatitis, gallstones,
jaundice, piles, constipation, diarrhoea, colon cancer screening, and difficulty
swallowing. For conditions requiring therapeutic endoscopy procedures, those
are performed at Medicover Hospitals, Financial District.
Q2. Do I need a
referral to visit Adithya Gastro?
A: No. You can book an
appointment directly without a GP referral. If your GP has already run tests,
bring those results — it helps. But there is no requirement for a referral
letter.
Q3. Which
procedures are done at the Manikonda clinic vs at Medicover?
A: Routine diagnostic
endoscopy and colonoscopy are done at the Manikonda clinic. Advanced
interventional procedures — ERCP, EUS, EUS-guided biliary drainage, EVL
banding, metal stenting, endoscopic dilation, PEG placement — are performed at
Medicover Hospitals, Financial District. The same doctor manages both.
Q4. Is fatty liver
treatable at this clinic?
A: Yes. Fatty liver management
— including assessment of severity, lifestyle counselling, dietary guidance,
and regular monitoring — is a significant part of the OPD practice here. Grade
1 and Grade 2 fatty liver are reversible with the right interventions. We see a
high volume of fatty liver cases from this catchment, which reflects how common
the condition has become in this part of Hyderabad.
Q5. What areas near Manikonda is the clinic accessible from?
A: The clinic is easily reachable from Manikonda, Kokapet, Narsingi, Puppalaguda, Financial District, Gachibowli, Kondapur, Manikonda Jagir, Khanapur, and surrounding residential areas in western Hyderabad.
