Patient Experience
Been seeing Dr. Vijay for my blood pressure and general health for about 8 years now, since before he moved to Sakra. He remembers the little things asks about my knee from last year, knows my family history without checking the file. That consistency is everything when you're managing a chronic thing. You don't have to start from scratch every visit. He's straightforward, doesn't sugarcoat, but you know he's got your back. Parking at Sakra is a hassle, but he's worth the trip.
First time seeing a doctor in Bangalore and I was really anxious. The whole hospital thing is intimidating. Dr. Vijay Kumar just had this calm way about him. He actually let me finish explaining all my weird symptoms without interrupting, which never happens. Then he just said, 'Okay, let's figure this out step by step.' Didn't make me feel silly for being worried. Left with a clear plan and finally felt like I could breathe. Big relief.
Needed a general check-up for a new job medical. Dr. Srinivasalu at Sakra was great. No fluff. Listened, checked what needed checking, explained the reports in plain English. Got me in and out with what I needed. Would go again.
I went in because I'd had this dull ache in my side for weeks and was spiraling, thinking the worst. The clinic was running a little late, which made me more nervous. Dr. Vijay Kumar walks in, apologizes for the wait, and immediately disarms you with this quiet focus. He didn't just poke my stomach; he asked about my stress levels, my sleep, my diet. Turned out his hunch about it being linked to stress and my terrible desk posture was right. He drew a little diagram on his notepad to show me how the muscle was probably pinching. Gave me some stretches, not just a pill. It's been a month, and the ache is gone. He solved the puzzle when I was just bringing him pieces.
