Patient Experience
My 8-year-old had a high fever that wouldn't break, and I was really scared. We went to Bangpakok 9 and saw Dr. Karuna. She was so calm with my son, explained everything to him in a way he understood, and didn't just throw antibiotics at us. She took the time to tell me exactly what to watch for at home. I left feeling like I could actually handle it, not just panicked.
I've been seeing Dr. Karuna for about five years now, since I moved to the area. What I appreciate is that she remembers me and my history—my old knee injury, that time I had bad shingles. I don't have to re-explain everything from scratch. She's straightforward, doesn't order tests just for the sake of it, and I trust her judgment completely. It's hard to find a GP you can stick with.
Needed a check-up for a work visa. Dr. Karuna got it done fast, no fuss. Explained the results clearly. Parking at the hospital is always a hassle, but the appointment itself was efficient.
I went in for what I thought was just a lingering cough. Dr. Karuna listened, then asked a bunch of questions I didn't expect—about my sleep, my energy levels. She had a hunch and suggested a simple blood test. Turns out, my iron was extremely low. I'd been feeling run-down for months and just blamed work. That cough was the side issue. She sorted the main problem I didn't even know I had. Follow-up was good, she called herself to check on me after I started treatment.
