Patient Experience
I'm a 78-year-old with multiple chronic conditions, and Dr. Krishnan's holistic approach was remarkable. During my routine checkup, he noticed subtle changes in my medication response and adjusted everything while explaining how each modification would affect my diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis simultaneously. He even coordinated with my physiotherapist!
Our 8-year-old daughter developed mysterious high fevers that baffled other doctors. Dr. Krishnan spent an hour just observing her play, asked about recent school projects, and connected it to an uncommon presentation of rheumatic fever. His gentle manner made our terrified child comfortable enough to describe symptoms she'd hidden from us.
Rushed to Artemis with septic shock, I was fading fast. Dr. Krishnan met me at the ER entrance, directed the team with calm precision, and personally monitored my vitals through the night. His decision to use targeted antibiotics instead of broad-spectrum probably saved my kidneys from permanent damage.
As a healthy 35-year-old, I went for my first executive health checkup expecting routine tests. Dr. Krishnan's questioning revealed lifestyle patterns I hadn't connected to my occasional dizziness. His preventive recommendations included sleep hygiene adjustments that eliminated issues I'd accepted as normal stress.
Post-complex abdominal surgery, my recovery stalled with unexplained inflammation. Dr. Krishnan reviewed my surgical notes, identified a rare medication interaction the surgeons missed, and designed a tapering protocol that had me improving within 48 hours. His follow-up calls were unexpectedly personal.
My 92-year-old mother's dementia makes medical visits challenging. Dr. Krishnan examined her while she talked about her childhood, seamlessly integrating clinical assessment with her rambling stories. He diagnosed early pneumonia before symptoms were obvious, preventing hospitalization.
I came from overseas with baffling neurological symptoms. Dr. Krishnan ordered specific antibody tests other doctors dismissed, confirming autoimmune encephalitis. His detailed referral to the neurologist included treatment suggestions that became the foundation of my recovery plan.
During monsoon season, my entire family presented with similar fevers. Dr. Krishnan identified three different causes—dengue, leptospirosis, and typhoid—based on subtle symptom variations. His containment protocol prevented cross-infection while managing our diverse treatments.
As an athlete with recurring fatigue, specialists focused only on my physical metrics. Dr. Krishnan explored my nutrition, training schedule, and sleep patterns, diagnosing overtraining syndrome with hormonal imbalances. His recovery plan restored my performance without medication.
My medication-resistant hypertension frustrated multiple doctors. Dr. Krishnan discovered I had white coat syndrome exacerbating my readings. His nurse taught me home monitoring techniques, and his medication timing adjustments based on my circadian rhythm finally controlled my BP.
Brought my teenager with what seemed like typical mono. Dr. Krishnan noticed asymmetrical lymph nodes others missed, ordered urgent imaging, and caught early-stage lymphoma. His direct yet compassionate disclosure to our family helped us process the diagnosis while acting quickly.
Following up after ICU discharge for COVID pneumonia, Dr. Krishnan addressed lingering brain fog with cognitive exercises and monitored my lung fibrosis progression. His rehabilitation plan integrated pulmonary function with mental health support no one else had mentioned.
I presented with abdominal pain that every test showed as normal. Dr. Krishnan asked about recent travel, connected my camping trip to giardiasis that standard tests missed, and treated what had been dismissed as anxiety for months.
My husband's sudden personality changes confused multiple specialists. Dr. Krishnan recognized autoimmune psychosis, ordered the right antibodies panel, and initiated treatment within hours of consultation when others were still debating psychiatric referral.
As a transplant patient on immunosuppressants, I developed unusual infections. Dr. Krishnan coordinated with my transplant team abroad, adjusting medications while managing infection risks in ways that respected the primary team's protocol while addressing emergent needs.
