My hands were shaking in the waiting room at Gleneagles. It was my first time seeing a doctor for this kind of stomach pain, and I was really scared it was something serious. Dr. Bala Shanmugam came in and just had this calm way about him. He listened to all my jumbled-up worries, didn't rush me, and explained everything in simple words. He said it was likely just a bad reaction to some new food. I left feeling like a weight was lifted. The parking lot was a nightmare, but honestly, I didn't even care on the way out.

Had a persistent cough for three weeks. Went to Gleneagles Global. Saw Dr. T S Bala Shanmugam. He asked clear questions, checked me thoroughly, ordered an X-ray. Diagnosis was a mild bronchial infection. Prescribed medication. Cough cleared in five days. Efficient and effective. No fuss.

I was quite unwell for a few days, and my daughter insisted I see someone. Dr. Shanmugam was very kind. He spoke gently and took the time to understand everything, even the small details I thought might not matter. His advice was clear, and he made sure I knew how to take the medicine properly. It was a good experience during a worrying time.

Man, what a relief! I'd been putting off getting this weird ache in my side checked for ages, thinking the worst. Finally saw Dr. Bala Shanmugam at Gleneagles. He was so straightforward and chill about it. Did an examination, asked a bunch of questions, and basically told me it was a muscle thing from my terrible office chair posture! Gave me some stretches and told me to move more. Felt silly for worrying, but also massively grateful. Doc knows his stuff!
