Patient Experience
I'd been feeling off for months, tired all the time with weird aches. A couple of other doctors just shrugged. Dr. Shrivarthan was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't thought about, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it all in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and starting to feel like myself again.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first about any surgery, even a minor one. But Dr. Shrivarthan walked me through the whole thing, step by step, in the clinic itself. The procedure was quick, he kept checking if I was okay, and the stitches were neat. Recovery was exactly as he said it would be. It was just a straightforward thing, done really well.
The waiting area at MGM was packed when I went for my follow-up, and I had to wait a bit. But the nurses at the desk were so patient with everyone. One of them saw I looked confused finding the billing counter and walked me there herself. The whole place was clean and calm, which helped. Dr. Shrivarthan's clinic staff also called the next day just to see how I was doing after a new medication.
What stuck with me most was how Dr. Shrivarthan talks to you. He doesn't rush. When I was worried about some test results, he sat down, looked me in the eye, and broke it all down without any scary medical jargon. He has this calm way about him that makes you feel like you're in good hands, not just another file. You can tell he actually cares how you feel.
I'd been feeling off for months, tired and achy, and a couple of other doctors just shrugged. Dr. Vasudevan actually listened, asked a bunch of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it all clearly, without talking down to me. Finally felt like someone had connected the dots.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. But Dr. Vasudevan made it really straightforward. The procedure itself was quick, he told me what he was doing as he went, and the recovery was exactly as he said it would be. No surprises, which is exactly what you want for something like that. Parking at MGM was a hassle that day, but the actual appointment was smooth.
The clinic at MGM was busy, as you'd expect, but what stood out was how the nurses and front desk people handled it. They were calm and actually helpful when I was confused about which form to fill. The place was clean and felt organized, not chaotic. It made waiting a bit less stressful. Dr. Vasudevan's team clearly knows what they're doing.
What I remember most is how he talked to my elderly mother. She was anxious and hard of hearing. Dr. Vasudevan didn't rush her. He sat down, looked at her directly, and repeated things patiently until she understood. He has a quiet, reassuring way about him that put both of us at ease. It wasn't just about the medicine; it was about how he gave it.
