Patient Experience
I needed a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. But Dr. Narender's team at Sakra had it down to a science. In, out, done. The procedure itself was so straightforward. He checked in the next day himself, which I really didn't expect. It was just a simple thing, but it felt very complete.
Parking at Sakra was a nightmare that day, I won't lie. I was flustered by the time I got to the clinic. But from the front desk to the nurses, everyone was so calm. The place just feels clean and quiet, not chaotic. It settled me right down. When Dr. Narender came in, he’d clearly been briefed he knew why I was there and even made a light joke about the parking. It showed the whole team was talking to each other.
Look, some doctors make you feel like you're wasting their time. Dr. Narender isn't like that. He remembers my kids' names. When I was worried about a new medication, he didn't just list side effects; he asked me what specifically I was afraid of and talked me through it. He's got a way of making you feel like you're figuring it out together, not just being told what to do.
I've been seeing Dr. Rajendra for my hypertension for about eight years now, since before he moved to Sakra. He remembers my history without checking the file, asks about my family, and never rushes me. That consistency is hard to find. When my meds needed adjusting last month, his approach was the same steady, logical one I trust. He's just a solid, reliable doctor.
First time at Sakra and I was really nervous about some stomach issues. The whole hospital felt huge and a bit overwhelming. Dr. Gujjalanavar completely put me at ease. He didn't just stare at the screen; he actually listened, explained things in a way that made sense, and told me it was probably nothing serious but we'd check to be sure. Left feeling a lot lighter than when I walked in.
Saw Dr. Rajendra for a bad flu. Got an appointment easily, wait was okay. He was direct, told me exactly what it was and what to do. Prescription worked. Good experience.
My husband had been feeling run down for weeks. Our usual doc was booked, so we tried Dr. Gujjalanavar at Sakra. The appointment was late afternoon, and honestly, we were both tired. But the doctor walked in, sat down, and just started asking really thoughtful questions not just 'what hurts,' but about his sleep, stress at work, even his appetite changes. He connected dots we hadn't. Ordered the right tests, called us himself with the results (low B12, simple fix). It wasn't a dramatic illness, but the way he paid attention to the small stuff made all the difference. We've found our new family doctor.
My father was admitted with a high fever and confusion. We were really scared. Dr. Rajaneesh met with us in the family room and explained everything in simple terms what they were checking for, what the different results could mean. He didn't rush us, even when we asked the same question twice. He called my sister himself with an update when she couldn't be there. It turned out to be a severe infection, but because he was so clear and calm with us, we felt we could handle it together. My dad's home now, recovering well.
Took my wife to Sakra with bad abdominal pain. The ER was busy, we waited a bit. Dr. Rajaneesh saw her. He was direct: listed the possibilities, said the scan was needed to rule out the serious ones. No sugar-coating, which I appreciated. When the results came back showing it wasn't surgical, he laid out the treatment plan clearly meds, diet, follow-up. Told us exactly what to watch for. It was efficient, no-nonsense care, and she started feeling better within a day.
Our son, just eight years old, had to be hospitalized. I was a mess. Dr. Rajaneesh has such a gentle way of speaking. He knelt down to talk to my boy, then looked at me and said, 'We're going to take good care of him.' He always took a moment to answer my worries, never made me feel like I was bothering him. When he explained the medication, he made sure I understood each step. That kindness meant more than I can say during such a frightening time.
After weeks of feeling run-down and getting nowhere, I saw Dr. Rajaneesh. He actually listened to everything I said, asked follow-up questions I hadn't even thought of. Ordered the right tests and, wow, figured it out a thyroid issue. Started treatment and I feel like myself again! The hospital parking is always full, but honestly, it was worth the hassle. I'm just so relieved to have my energy back. He's a great doctor who pays attention.
My hands were shaking in the waiting room at Sakra. I’d never seen a specialist before and had built this whole thing up in my head. Dr. Adil Sadiq walked in, and the first thing he did was sit down, not rush. He just asked, 'So, what’s been bothering you?' in this normal, calm voice. He actually listened to my rambling explanation, didn’t interrupt. When he explained what he thought it was, he drew a little diagram on the notepad. It was so simple. I left feeling like a weight was gone, not because of some magic cure, but because someone finally took me seriously and made it not seem so scary.
Had a persistent abdominal issue. Went to Sakra World Hospital. Saw Dr. Adil Sadiq. He asked clear questions, ordered the necessary tests, reviewed the results with me directly. Explained the treatment plan in plain terms. No fluff. The issue is resolved. Efficient and competent. That’s what I needed.
I was quite anxious about my check-up, as I’m not very good with hospitals. Dr. Sadiq has such a gentle way about him. He spoke softly, made sure I understood each step before moving on, and never made me feel hurried. Even when the parking lot was quite busy and I arrived a little flustered, his calm manner settled everything. It felt like being cared for by a very knowledgeable friend. A truly kind doctor.
Honestly, I was fed up after seeing a couple of other doctors for this recurring problem. Then I met Dr. Adil Sadiq at Sakra. Night and day difference! He actually looked at my *entire* history, connected dots the others missed. His diagnosis made total sense. Started the new treatment he suggested, and wow I’ve felt better in weeks than I have in months. Finally! Someone who knows their stuff and gets results. So relieved.
At my age, hospital visits can be quite daunting. Dr. Banavalikar at Sakra made me feel completely at ease. He explained everything about my medication change in simple terms and never seemed rushed, even when I asked the same question twice. His calm manner is a real comfort.
I've been seeing Dr. Banavalikar for nearly eight years now, first for my hypertension and then managing my diabetes. What I value most is that I don't have to re-explain my entire history every visit; he remembers. He's straightforward about what's working and what needs adjustment, and I trust his judgment completely. That kind of consistency in healthcare is hard to find.
Had a nasty stomach bug that wouldn't quit. Went to Sakra, saw Dr. Banavalikar. He sorted it out quickly, no fuss. Got the right meds, felt better in a couple days. Good doctor.
I went to Sakra World Hospital last month with what I thought was just persistent heartburn. I was a bit nervous, waiting in the clinic. Dr. Banavalikar listened to my symptoms, asked a lot of specific questions about my diet and stress levels, and then suggested we check my heart just to be safe. Turns out, it wasn't just heartburn. He caught a minor cardiac issue early, coordinated with a cardiologist right there, and set up a treatment plan. That extra bit of attention might have saved me from a bigger problem down the line. I'm just really glad he looked past the obvious answer.
For months, I just felt off tired, some aches, nothing that pointed to one thing. My old doctor was stumped. Dr. Narender actually sat and listened to the whole, messy timeline. He connected dots I didn't even know were there and ordered a specific test no one else had. Turned out to be a rare autoimmune thing. He explained it to me without sugar-coating it, but also without scaring me to death. He just knew.
