Dr. Anvesh Dharanikota

I'd been to a couple of doctors with this nagging pain, and everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Anvesh was the first one who actually looked at my scans and said, 'This doesn't add up.' He ordered a different test I'd never even heard of. It took a while to get the results, and I was pretty scared, but he called me himself to explain what they found. It wasn't simple, but he laid out the plan so clearly. He didn't sugarcoat it, but he made me feel like we could handle it.

Had to get a cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at firstanything with 'surgery' in the name freaks me out. But Dr. Anvesh made it sound so straightforward. The whole thing was maybe 45 minutes. He checked in right before, cracked a small joke about my football jersey, and that helped. Afterwards, he showed me what he'd taken out (weird, but kind of cool) and the nurse gave my wife really simple instructions for the bandage. It healed up just like he said it would. Felt very routine, in a good way.

The Medicover facility in Madhapur is nice. It's busy, sure, and I had to circle for parking, but once inside, it didn't feel chaotic. The woman at the front desk saw me looking lost and pointed me in the right direction. What stood out was how the nurses worked with Dr. Anvesh. He'd tell them something, and they were already on it. One nurse, I think her name was Priya, could tell I was anxious in the prep room and just talked to me about normal stuffthe weather, my commutewhich was a nice distraction. The place runs smoothly.

My kid was the patient, and she was terrified of doctors. Dr. Anvesh didn't just talk to me; he got down on her level and asked about her school project first. He let her hold the stethoscope. When he needed to examine her, he explained everything he was going to do in a calm, quiet voice before he did it. He never talked down to her. She still didn't love being there, but she didn't cry, which is a first. That meant everything to us. He has a real way with people.
