Dr. Selva Seetharaman S

I've been seeing Dr. Selva for my diabetes and blood pressure for about 8 years now, ever since he was at his old clinic. He moved to Gleneagles and I followed him there. The parking's a hassle, but he's worth it. He remembers everything—my last test results, how my son's doing in college, even that my knee acts up in the monsoon. I don't feel like just a chart to him. That kind of consistency is hard to find. When you have chronic stuff, you need a doctor who knows your whole story, not just the latest numbers.

Had my gallbladder out last month with Dr. Selva. I was really scared about the pain after, honestly. He sat with me the night before and just laid out how the recovery would go, day by day. He didn't sugarcoat it, which I appreciated. The first two days were rough, but his team managed the pain well and he checked on me twice daily, even on Sunday. He'd ask specific questions like 'Is the pain sharp or more of an ache?' which showed he was really listening. I'm back to walking my dog now, feeling stronger each week.

Dr. Selva is good. Fixed my bad stomach issue that two other doctors couldn't figure out. He's direct, tells you what he thinks without a bunch of fluff. Prescription worked. That's what I needed.

My whole experience started with this dull ache in my side that wouldn't quit. My wife finally made me go in. The Gleneagles lobby was busy, but Dr. Selva's clinic was calm. He didn't rush. He asked about my job (I drive a truck), my diet, everything. Ordered a scan, found a small hernia. What stuck with me was after the diagnosis. He drew a simple diagram on his notepad to show me what was happening and my options. We decided on meds and lifestyle changes first. I was nervous, but he made it make sense. Six months on, the ache is gone. I still have the drawing.
