Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Sorubawathy actually sat and listened to everything, even the small stuff I thought was irrelevant. She ordered a different set of tests that others hadn't, and it turned out to be something pretty specific with my gallbladder. She explained it all with a diagram on her notepad—no fancy terms, just clear. I felt heard for the first time.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Sorubawathy made it feel like no big deal. The whole thing was over in what felt like twenty minutes. She talked me through each step as she did it, which really kept my mind off things. The stitches were neat, healed up perfectly. It was just a straightforward, smooth visit, exactly what you hope for.
Parking at MGM was a nightmare that day, completely full, so I was already flustered when I got in. But the front desk lady was really kind and helped me sort my papers. The waiting area was clean and quiet, which helped me calm down. By the time the nurse called me in, I was settled. It's the whole team that makes a difference, not just the doctor.
What stuck with me about Dr. Sorubawathy is how she talks to you. She doesn't rush. When I was worried about some test results, she didn't just read them out; she asked me what my main concern was and addressed that directly. She has a calm way about her that makes you feel like you're in good hands, even when things are uncertain.
