Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging abdominal pain, and everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Hariharan was the first one who actually sat and listened, really pieced together my symptoms. He ordered a specific scan that others hadn't, and it turned out to be a pretty rare intestinal issue. He explained it all on a notepad, drew a little diagram. I was scared, but he laid out a clear plan. I'm on the mend now, and honestly, I feel heard for the first time in months.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital process than the actual thing. Dr. Hariharan's team made it simple. The procedure itself was over in what felt like minutes. He checked in right after, and the nurse gave my wife very clear instructions for the bandage. It healed up perfectly with no fuss. Sometimes you just want something straightforward to actually be straightforward, you know?
The place is big and finding the right wing was confusing at first, I won't lie. But once I got to his clinic, the receptionist saw I was flustered and really helped me out. The whole team, from the person who took my blood pressure to the billing desk, was just... calm. It's a busy hospital, but in his unit, things felt orderly. That calmness makes a huge difference when you're not feeling well.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Hariharan talks to you. He doesn't rush. Before my surgery, he pulled up a chair, asked if I had any last-minute worries—not just my medical ones, but how my family was handling it. He has this quiet way of explaining things that cuts through the panic. You don't feel like just another case; you feel like a person he's looking out for.
