Dr. Akanksha Rastogi Reviews

For months, I was just exhausted. My local doctor ran tests but kept saying it was stress. At Medanta, Dr. Rastogi actually listened to everything, even the weird little symptoms I'd stopped mentioning. She connected dots I didn't know existed and ordered a very specific blood panel. Turns out, it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on standard tests. She explained it all with a diagram on her notepad—no confusing jargon. Finally, I have answers and a treatment that's working.

I needed a colonoscopy and was pretty nervous about the whole thing. Dr. Rastogi walked me through each step beforehand, and the day itself was, honestly, fine. The prep was the worst part, but the procedure at the hospital was smooth. I remember waking up and Dr. Rastogi was there, just saying 'All clear, everything looks perfect.' It was such a relief. The whole thing felt very standard, in the best possible way—no drama, just good care.

The place is huge, I got a bit lost finding the department. But once I checked in, the front desk lady was really kind and pointed me in the right direction. The nurse who took my vitals noticed I seemed anxious and cracked a joke about the blood pressure cuff, which actually helped. Even though the waiting area was busy, it felt calm. When Dr. Rastogi came out to get me, she remembered my name from my file. It's those small things that make a difference.

What I remember most is how she talked to my elderly mother. Mom gets flustered easily and doesn't always understand medical terms. Dr. Rastogi sat down, made direct eye contact with her, and spoke slowly and clearly. She didn't just talk to me. She asked Mom questions and waited patiently for her answers. She has this calm, present way about her that made my mom feel like she was the only patient in the world that day. That meant everything to our family.
