Dr. Sudipto Pakrasi

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Karunakaran actually listened. He asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the standard scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I had the surgery at MGM last month and feel like myself again.

Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about any kind of procedure. Dr. Karunakaran walked me through the whole thing in the clinic, didn't rush me. The day of, it was over so fast. The stitches were neat, healing was straightforward. It was just a simple thing, but he treated it with care, which I appreciated.

The waiting area at MGM was busy, I had to wait a bit past my appointment time. But the nurses at the front were really kind about it. Once I got in, the whole clinic felt calm and clean. Dr. Karunakaran's assistant was great too—very efficient and friendly. It made a long morning much easier to handle.

What stuck with me was how Dr. Karunakaran talks to you. He doesn't just look at the file; he looks at you. When I was worried about my blood pressure readings, he sat down, asked about my week, my sleep. He has this quiet, steady way about him that just makes you feel heard. You leave feeling like you've been seen by a person, not processed by a system.

At my age, you don't want to be rushed. Dr. Vijayaraghavan at MGM never made me feel like a number. He explained my arthritis options slowly, made sure I understood, and his nurse was very kind when I was a bit unsteady getting off the table. A good, calm doctor.
