My son, Arjun, had been running a fever for five days straight. Nothing was bringing it down. We were so scared. The waiting area at Gleneagles was packed, and I was pacing. When we finally saw Dr. Babu Kumar, he just had this calm way about him. He didn't just look at the chart; he got down on his haunches and talked to Arjun, asked him about his favorite cartoon. He explained everything to us in simple terms—it was a tricky infection, but treatable. He called us himself the next evening to check on Arjun's temperature. Seeing my boy smile and eat again... that's because of the care we got.

Severe abdominal pain. Went to Gleneagles Global. Saw Dr. S. Babu Kumar. He listened, asked direct questions, ordered the right scans. Diagnosis was quick: acute appendicitis. He scheduled surgery without delay. Procedure was smooth. Explained post-op care clearly. No fluff. Pain is gone. Follow-up was efficient. Good doctor. Good hospital.

I was quite nervous about my persistent stomach issues. Dr. Babu Kumar has such a gentle manner; he never made me feel rushed. He listened to all my worries, even the silly ones I thought I shouldn't mention. His advice was practical and kind. The hospital itself is very large and a bit overwhelming to find your way around, but his clinic felt like a quiet space. I'm feeling much better now, following his guidance. He's a very good doctor.

What a relief! I'd been to two other doctors for this nagging fatigue and just got vague answers. Dr. Babu Kumar actually figured it out! He ran some different tests and found the root cause—a vitamin deficiency that was easily fixed. I've got my energy back! The guy knows his stuff. The pharmacy line was long, but honestly, worth it. So glad my friend recommended him.
