Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this weird fatigue and joint pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Thiruppathi was the first one who actually sat and listened to my whole history. He ordered a specific blood test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it to me in plain English, didn't rush me, and laid out a clear plan. I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.
Had to get a minor skin cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous about the local anesthetic more than anything. Dr. Thiruppathi talked me through each step as he did it, which really helped. The whole thing was over in maybe twenty minutes. Sore for a day or two, but the follow-up was quick and he said it healed perfectly. Just a straightforward, no-drama experience, which is exactly what you want.
The clinic itself was nice and calm, not one of those chaotic places. I got there early and the parking was full, so I was a bit flustered. The woman at the front desk was really kind about it. The whole team, from the nurse who took my vitals to the billing person, seemed to know what they were doing and were pleasant without being fake. It made a long wait for results much less stressful.
What stuck with me was how he handles bad news. My blood pressure numbers weren't great, and my dad had heart issues. Instead of just scolding me, Dr. Thiruppathi leaned forward and said, 'Look, we need to get ahead of this, and here's how.' He asked about my job, my diet, my schedule, and worked *with* me on a realistic fix. Felt like he was on my side, not just ticking a box.
