Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach issue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Vijay Shankar actually listened. He asked questions no one else had, ordered some specific tests, and figured out it was a tricky thyroid problem affecting my gut. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and feel like myself again.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Vijay Shankar made it so straightforward. The whole thing was over in what felt like minutes. He checked in the next day himself to see how the healing was going. It was just a routine thing for him, I'm sure, but he made me feel properly looked after.
The hospital itself is a bit of a maze, and the parking was full that day, which had me flustered. But once I got to Dr. Vijay Shankar's floor, the difference was clear. The front desk lady was really patient helping me with my forms, and the nurse who took my vitals had a calming way about her. It made waiting a bit for my appointment much less stressful.
What stuck with me most was how Dr. Vijay Shankar talks to you. He doesn't just look at the chart. He sits down, makes eye contact, and really hears you out. When I was worried about some test results, he didn't dismiss it; he walked me through each line calmly. You feel like a person, not just another case.
