Patient Experience
Finally got my hernia fixed! I'd put it off for ages, dreading the whole thing. Dr. Ravi Shankar just had a way of making it seem manageable. The surgery itself was fine, and when I woke up, the relief was immediate. No more constant ache! The whole team was great, but he's the one who got me to actually do it. So glad I did.
Had my gallbladder out last month. The first few days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Ravi Shankar's plan for the pain was clear and he checked in often. He didn't just hand me pills and send me off. He explained what was normal soreness and what wasn't. It made getting through the worst of it a lot less scary. I'm back to moving around okay now.
Appendicitis. Went to the hospital, saw Dr. Ravi Shankar J C. He explained the surgery quickly, no fluff. Got it done. Follow-up was efficient. Everything went as it should. No complaints.
I was so worried about my knee operation. I'm not one for hospitals. But Dr. Ravi Shankar was very calm. He spoke softly when he went over the aftercare, and it helped settle my nerves. The nurses had his instructions ready when I left. It's been a smooth healing process, and I'm truly grateful for his gentle manner.
My dad was in for his gallbladder. I was really worried because he's older and his blood pressure was acting up. Dr. Annigeri was the one who called me after the surgery. He didn't just say it went fine; he explained what they did in a way I could actually understand, and told me exactly what to watch for when we got him home. It made a stressful day a lot easier to handle.
Took my son in. He had a bad fever and stomach pain that wouldn't quit. Dr. Annigeri saw us quickly. He was quiet, listened to everything I said, and checked my boy over thoroughly. He explained it was probably a nasty stomach bug and laid out the plan clearly—what meds to give, when to come back. No fancy talk, just straight facts. We left feeling calmer.
After my wife's appendectomy, Dr. Annigeri came to check on her. He had a very gentle way about him. He sat down and asked how she was *really* feeling, not just the medical stuff. When he explained the recovery steps, he made sure to look at both of us, so we were both in the loop. That kindness meant a lot when she was feeling so vulnerable.
I was a mess when they brought my husband in with chest pains. Dr. Annigeri was so calm. He told me, "We're running tests now, I'll update you as soon as I know." And he did—he came out twice to tell me what was happening. It turned out to be severe indigestion, thank goodness. The relief was huge. He was direct, kept his word, and didn't leave me hanging.
