Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Pari Raman actually listened. She asked questions about things no one else had, ordered some specific tests, and figured out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the usual scans. She explained it all with a diagram on her notepad. I was really worried, but she had a plan and it worked.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about the whole hospital thing. But with Dr. Raman, it was surprisingly straightforward. The procedure itself was quick, she told me exactly what she was doing as she did it, and the follow-up was simple. No drama, no fuss. It's healed up perfectly. Sometimes you just want things to be simple, and she made it that way.
The hospital was busy that day, parking was a bit of a hunt. But once I got inside for my appointment with Dr. Raman, things calmed down. The front desk people found my file quickly, and the nurse who took my vitals was really kind, chatting about the weather to distract me. The whole place in that wing felt clean and quiet, which helped a lot. It made seeing the doctor less stressful.
What I remember most is how Dr. Raman talks to you. I'm an older patient, and sometimes doctors rush. She didn't. She sat down, looked at me, not just the computer. When she explained my new medication, she checked three times that I understood the timing. She has a calm way about her that makes you feel like you're in good hands, not just on an assembly line.
