I was a complete wreck before...

Doctor: Dr. Prof. Kapali Neelamekam Hospital: SRM Prime Hospital Ramapuram

I was a complete wreck before my appointment. My hands were shaking in the waiting room at SRM Prime. I'd never had a proper check-up before and was convinced he'd find something awful. Dr. Kapali just... calmed me down. He didn't rush, explained everything in simple words, and actually listened when I babbled my fears. Left with a clear plan and, for the first time in weeks, I felt okay. He just has that kind of quiet, steady way about him. (Patient of Dr. Dr.)

Had a persistent stomach issue. Went to SRM Prime Hospital, saw Dr. Kapali Neelamekam. He asked direct questions, ordered the right tests, diagnosed the problem quickly. Treatment worked. No fuss. Efficient and knowledgeable. Parking at Ramapuram is always a hassle, but the consultation was worth it. (Patient of Dr. Dr.)

Doctor: Dr. Prof. Kapali Neelamekam Hospital: SRM Prime Hospital Ramapuram

One doesn't always expect such kindness in a busy hospital. I was feeling quite poorly, and Dr. Kapali was so gentle. He took his time, his manner was very soft, and he made sure I understood each step. It wasn't just about the medicine; it was about being treated with real care. I'm very grateful. (Patient of Dr. Dr.)

Doctor: Dr. Prof. Kapali Neelamekam Hospital: SRM Prime Hospital Ramapuram

FINALLY! I've been dealing with this nagging fatigue for months, saw a couple of other docs who just shrugged. Dr. Kapali at SRM Prime? Totally different story. He dug in, asked about stuff no one else did, and figured it out! It was a vitamin deficiency, simple fix. I have my energy back! Seriously, so glad I went. The guy knows his stuff. (Patient of Dr. Dr.)
