Patient Experience
Our 8-year-old spiked a scary high fever that wouldn't break. We rushed to Sakra in a panic. Dr. Malige was so calm with us and gentle with our son. He took time to explain it was a nasty viral thing, what to watch for, and exactly when to come back. Seeing him handle my crying boy with such patience made all the difference. We left feeling informed and, honestly, just relieved.
Had a weird stomach thing going on for weeks. Saw Dr. Malige at Sakra. He got straight to the point, ordered the right tests, and fixed me up. No fuss. Good doctor.
I'd been putting off a general check-up for years, just feeling run down. The Sakra parking lot was packed that morning, which didn't help my mood. Dr. Malige, though, changed that. He didn't just glance at my chart; he asked about my work stress and sleep habits, things I didn't even think were medical. He connected the dots between my constant headaches and my terrible desk posture. The treatment wasn't just a pill it was practical advice I could actually use. I walked out with a plan, not just a prescription.
My husband was admitted with severe abdominal pain. We were scared, honestly. Dr. Chandran came to see us late in the evening, after his rounds. He didn't just talk to my husband; he sat with me in the hallway and explained everything in simple words what they thought it was, the next steps, what to watch for. He gave me his direct number for the night nurse's station in case we had more questions. That conversation was what got me through the night. He treated us like people, not just another case.
My father needed surgery. Dr. Chandran was clear, no sugar-coating. Explained the risks, the recovery time, the alternatives. He listened to our concerns and answered directly. No fancy talk, just facts. We knew what we were dealing with. The surgery went as planned. Follow-up was straightforward. He does his job well, communicates clearly. That's what we needed.
I brought my mother in; she was very weak and confused. Dr. Chandran has such a calm way about him. He spoke so gently to her, even when she couldn't answer properly. He’d explain things to me in a quiet voice, never rushed. He noticed small things, like how she was more comfortable with the curtain partly open. It wasn't just medicine; it was genuine care. We felt looked after in a difficult time.
After weeks of feeling run-down and seeing other doctors, we met Dr. Chandran at Sakra. FINALLY, someone who connected the dots! He ordered the right tests and figured it out. When he gave us the diagnosis and treatment plan, I almost cried from relief. The difference was night and day. My son is back to his old self, playing football. Dr. Chandran and his team were fantastic efficient, kind, and they actually solved it!
I've been seeing Dr. Akshay for my blood pressure for over five years now, first at his old clinic and now at Sakra. That kind of consistency matters. He remembers my history, asks about my family, and never rushes the appointment. I trust him completely because he's straightforward if my numbers are off, he says so and we adjust. He's just a solid, reliable doctor.
At my age, one does not relish visits to the hospital. However, my experience with Dr. Deshpande was most reassuring. He has a very calm manner and explained my arthritis medication in simple terms without talking down to me. The clinic at Sakra was comfortable, and he took the time to listen to all my little aches. I left feeling properly looked after.
Had a weird stomach thing that wouldn't go away. Saw Dr. Akshay Deshpande at Sakra. He figured it out fast, gave me a clear plan. No fuss. Good guy.
So I'd been putting off this general check-up for ages, you know how it is. Finally booked with Dr. Akshay Deshpande at Sakra. I was a bit nervous hospitals make me anxious. He walked in, cracked a small joke about the weather, and it just broke the ice. He went through everything step by step, even drew a little diagram on his notepad to show me how the new vitamin regimen would work. What stuck with me was when I mentioned offhand that I'd been tired, he didn't just nod; he asked specific questions about my sleep and work stress for a good ten minutes. It felt like he was actually connecting the dots, not just checking boxes. The parking was a nightmare that day, but honestly, the appointment itself was worth the hassle.
At my age, you worry about being a bother. Dr. Amruthesh never made me feel that way. He took his time, explained my arthritis medication in simple terms, and even asked about my comfort in the hospital chair. It's rare to find a doctor who listens as much as he talks.
My father was admitted with a bad fever, and we were all very worried. Dr. Amruthesh was the one who calmed us down. He came out to the waiting area twice to update us in plain language, not medical jargon, and gave us his direct number for the ward. He treated my dad, but he really cared for our whole family.
Had a weird stomach thing that wouldn't go away. Saw Dr. Amruthesh at Sakra. Straight shooter told me what he thought it was, what tests we needed to be sure, and what we'd do after. No fluff. Got me sorted in a week.
I went in for what I thought was just severe fatigue. Dr. Amruthesh actually looked at me, really looked, and asked about my work stress and sleep. He didn't just jump to blood tests. He remembered a small detail I'd mentioned about dizzy spells weeks prior and connected it. The investigation path he suggested, which I was skeptical about at first, found the root cause a thyroid issue everyone else had missed. The man pays attention in a way that makes all the difference.
I've been seeing Dr. Lorance Peter for my diabetes and blood pressure for almost eight years now, first at his old clinic and now at Sakra. That says it all, really. He remembers my history without me having to repeat it every visit, and he doesn't just rush to change my meds at the first sign of a blip. He looks at the whole picture. I trust his judgment because he's shown me, over time, that he cares about managing my health, not just treating a number on a chart.
My 82-year-old mother was admitted to Sakra with pneumonia, and Dr. Peter was in charge. What stood out was how he talked to us. He didn't use confusing medical jargon. He explained her condition clearly, what the plan was, and what to watch for. He even took a minute to ask if *we* were doing okay, managing the stress. When you're scared for a parent, that kind of clear, kind communication from the doctor makes a world of difference. We felt included, not just informed.
Had a bad stomach thing that wouldn't quit. Went to see Dr. Peter at Sakra. He was straight up listened, asked the right questions, ordered a simple test. Got a clear diagnosis and meds that actually worked. No fuss, no drama. Just fixed it.
I was really nervous about this persistent cough I'd had for weeks. The parking at Sakra was a nightmare that day, which didn't help my mood. Dr. Peter had a calm way about him that settled me down. He didn't just glance at my file; he asked about my work (I'm a teacher, so talking all day), my sleep, everything. He explained how all of it could be connected and laid out a couple of options, really taking the time to make sure I understood. The follow-up call from his assistant a few days later to check on me was a nice touch I wasn't expecting. It felt like he was seeing me, not just the cough.
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.
