Dr. Prateek Vardhan

My 8-year-old son had a fever that just wouldn't break, and I was really scared. We went to Sarvodaya, and Dr. Prateek was the one who saw us. He didn't just talk to me; he got down on my son's level, asked him about his favorite cartoon, and explained everything in a way a kid could understand. He was so patient, even when my boy was fussy about the thermometer. We left with clear instructions, and my son actually said he liked the doctor. That meant everything to me.

I've been seeing Dr. Vardhan for my blood pressure and general health for almost seven years now. What I appreciate is that he remembers me, remembers my history without having to dig through the file for ten minutes first. His advice is always practical like suggesting a morning walk route near my house instead of just saying 'exercise more.' The clinic at Sector 8 is busy, sure, but he never makes me feel rushed. You build a history with a doctor, and that trust is hard to find.

Had a nasty sinus thing going on. Went to Dr. Prateek Vardhan at Sarvodaya. He was straight to the point, told me what it was and what to do. Got the meds, followed his advice, cleared up in a few days. Good experience.

So, I woke up with this sharp pain in my side last Tuesday. Panicked, drove myself to Sarvodaya Hospital. The parking was a nightmare, honestly. By the time I got to see Dr. Vardhan, I was pretty worked up. He had a calm way about him. Listened, asked a few specific questions about the pain, then did an examination. He said it was likely a muscle strain from how I'd been gardening over the weekend, but ordered a quick scan just to be absolutely sure. While we waited for the scan slip, he even joked about my choice in gardening tools. The scan came back clear, just as he thought. He gave me some simple stretches and told me to take it easy. It was the whole process the worry, the relief, his manner that made me want to write this.
