Dr. Janaki Ballava Pradhan

I'd been feeling run-down for months, and a few other doctors just said it was stress. Dr. Pradhan was the first one who actually sat and listened to my whole history. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a thyroid issue that was messing with everything. He explained it in a way that finally made sense, without making me feel dumb for not figuring it out sooner.

Had to get a mole checked and removed. Honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. Dr. Pradhan walked me through each step before he did it, which helped a lot. The actual procedure was over in maybe ten minutes, and he kept chatting to distract me. Follow-up was easy, and the scar is barely there now. It was just a straightforward thing, but he made it feel that way.

The clinic was busy when I went, parking was a nightmare, and I was in a bad mood. But the front desk lady was really kind about it, and the nurse who took my vitals had a great sense of humor that lightened things up. Even the waiting area was calm, not blaring the news. By the time I saw Dr. Pradhan, I was already feeling less frazzled. The whole team there just works well together.

What I remember most is how he talks to you. I brought my elderly father in, and Dr. Pradhan didn't just talk to me. He looked right at my dad, asked him questions directly, and waited for his answers. He has this quiet, patient way about him. You don't feel rushed. My dad, who usually hates doctors, said afterwards, 'He seemed like a good man.' That says it all, really.
