Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself is a blur, but I remember Dr. Gowrishankar checking on me after. He was really clear about the pain meds—what to take, when, and what to watch for. The first couple days were rough, but following his plan got me through it. Still sore, but getting better each day.
I was so nervous going in for my first physical in years. My blood pressure was probably through the roof in the waiting room! Dr. Gowrishankar just had this calm way about him. He listened to all my little worries without making me feel silly, explained things simply, and by the end I felt like a weight was off. I'm actually glad I went.
Saw Dr. Gowrishankar for a persistent cough. Quick, to the point, no fluff. He listened, checked me over, gave me a prescription and told me exactly what to do. It worked. Good doctor.
My story with Dr. Gowrishankar started in the ER on a Saturday night with awful stomach pain. He was the one who saw me, and he just had a focused, quiet confidence. He ordered the right scans, explained it was my appendix, and laid out the options. Even when I was scared, he kept things factual and moved things along without rushing me. I ended up needing surgery that night, and he coordinated everything. A month later, I'm back to normal, and I really believe his decisiveness that night made all the difference.
