Patient Experience
I'd been to three different doctors over six months for this nagging abdominal pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Sudeep Krishnappa was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to the whole timeline. He ordered a specific set of tests the others hadn't considered. Turns out it was a rare type of gastrointestinal issue. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad – no fancy jargon, just clear facts. I finally have a treatment plan that's working.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about the whole hospital thing. But Dr. Krishnappa made it so straightforward. The procedure at Sakra was quick, he talked me through each step as it happened, and the recovery was exactly as he said it would be. No surprises, no drama. Sometimes you just want things to be simple and efficient, and that's exactly what it was.
The parking lot was packed when I arrived for my appointment, which put me in a bit of a mood. But from the moment I walked into Sakra, the staff made a difference. The lady at the front desk was really patient helping me find my file. The nurse who took my vitals had a warm, calming way about her. Even the cleaner in the hallway gave a friendly nod. By the time I saw Dr. Krishnappa, I felt less frazzled. It's not just about the doctor; the whole place felt genuinely supportive.
What stuck with me about Dr. Krishnappa was how he talked to my elderly father. Dad gets confused easily and is hard of hearing. The doctor didn't rush. He leaned in, spoke directly to him, not just to me, and checked repeatedly if Dad understood. He even wrote down the key points on a prescription pad for him to keep. It was a small gesture, but it showed a real respect for the patient. You don't see that kind of patience everywhere.
