Patient Experience
I was so scared going in for my first check-up in years. My hands were literally shaking. Dr. Balasubramanya just talked to me like a normal person, explained everything in simple terms, and by the end I felt silly for being so nervous. He didn't rush me at all, even though I had a million questions. Sakra is a big hospital but he made it feel small and personal.
Been seeing Dr. B for about five years now, ever since my diabetes diagnosis. What I appreciate most is that he remembers me. He'll ask about my grandson or how my garden is doing before we even get to the numbers. I've had doctors who change their advice every visit, but with him, the plan is steady and it works. I trust him completely because he's consistent and actually listens.
Saw Dr. Balasubramanya for a persistent cough. Parking at Sakra was a hassle, but the appointment itself was great. He's direct, got to the point, and gave me a clear plan. No fluff. Fixed me up in one visit. Would go back.
My whole family ended up at Sakra with a nasty stomach bug last month. I was the last to see the doctor, and by then I was exhausted. Dr. Balasubramanya had this calm energy. He sat down, asked not just about symptoms but how we were managing at home, and even suggested some easy foods we could get delivered. It wasn't just a prescription; he thought about the practical stuff of getting four sick people better. That kind of care sticks with you.
