I'd been to a couple of other doctors for this nagging fatigue and stomach pain. They said it was just stress. Dr. Babu Vinish actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky thyroid issue affecting my digestion. He explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. I finally felt like someone had found the right puzzle pieces.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Babu made it feel like no big deal. The whole thing at MGM was over in an hour. He talked me through each step as he was doing it, which really kept me calm. Sore for a day or two, but it healed up just like he said it would. Sometimes simple is good.
The parking at MGM was a nightmare that day, completely full. I was flustered by the time I got to the clinic. But the lady at the front desk was really kind, got me checked in fast, and the nurse who took my vitals had a great sense of humor. The place itself felt clean and calm, which helped settle me down before I even saw the doctor.
What I remember most is how he talked to my elderly mother. She gets confused easily. Dr. Babu Vinish didn't rush her. He sat down, looked her in the eye, and explained her new medication using words she actually understood. He even wrote the schedule down in big letters for her. That kind of patience is rare.
Had a persistent stomach issue for months. Dr. Malathi got straight to it, ordered the right tests, and had a clear treatment plan by my follow-up. Fixed the problem without endless appointments. Exactly what I needed.
