Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors with this weird, constant fatigue and pain. They all said it was stress. Dr. Shashidhar actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was something pretty rare. He sat with me and my wife for a good twenty minutes explaining it all in simple terms, drawing diagrams on a notepad. He didn't just hand me a prescription; he gave me a plan. For the first time in a year, I feel like I know what I'm fighting.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. But from check-in to discharge, it was just... easy. Dr. Shashidhar was in and out quickly for the surgery, but he made sure I understood everything beforehand. The whole thing took maybe an hour. I was back at my desk working from home that afternoon with just a small bandage. Sometimes simple things going right is all you need.
My dad was admitted, and I spent a lot of time at Sakra. The place just feels calm. Big windows, quiet halls. What really stood out was the team around Dr. Shashidhar. The nurses were patient with my endless questions, and the front desk staff remembered my name by day two. Even the person who cleaned the room was cheerful. It sounds small, but when you're worried sick, those little human touches make the hospital feel less scary.
Look, I don't really like doctors. I get awkward. But Dr. Shashidhar has this way of talking that puts you at ease. He doesn't stand over you; he pulls up a chair. He cracked a silly joke about my terrible diet when he saw my chart, which made me laugh instead of feel guilty. He remembers personal stuff, too asked about my daughter's exams at the follow-up. He feels like a really smart, concerned friend who also happens to know medicine inside out.
