Patient Experience

As a mother of a 7-year-old with congenital kidney issues, I've never met a nephrologist as gentle with children as Dr. Deepashree. She kneeled to eye level with my son, used toy models to explain his treatment, and made him laugh during what could have been a terrifying hospital visit.
After my complex kidney transplant surgery, Dr. Deepashree's post-operative care has been extraordinary. She personally checked on me at odd hours, adjusted medications based on subtle symptoms I mentioned, and even remembered my dietary preferences when discussing recovery nutrition.

During my nocturnal dialysis sessions, Dr. Deepashree would often stop by after her emergency cases—sometimes at 2 AM—just to see how I was coping. Her dedication transcends normal clinic hours; she treats patients like family.
My teenage daughter was terrified about starting peritoneal dialysis until Dr. Deepashree spent an entire afternoon teaching her how to manage the procedure herself. She transformed fear into confidence with incredible patience and empowering education.

When traditional treatments failed for my autoimmune kidney disorder, Dr. Deepashree designed an innovative combination therapy that other doctors called 'too unconventional.' Six months later, my kidney function has improved by 40%—she thinks outside the renal textbook.
