Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder out at Medicover Aspire. Dr. Nagarjuna's team was really clear about what to expect pain-wise afterward. They didn't just throw pills at me; they had a real plan for managing it day by day. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but knowing it was normal and having a number to call made it less scary. I'm a few weeks out now and feeling so much better.
I'm the type who gets sweaty palms just calling to make a doctor's appointment. First time seeing Dr. Nagarjuna and I was a wreck in the waiting room. He walked in, sat down, and just talked to me like a normal person for a good five minutes before even getting to the medical stuff. Asked about my job, my family. By the time he started the exam, my heart wasn't racing anymore. He just has a calm way about him that makes you feel like it's all going to be okay.
Needed a general check-up. Dr. Nagarjuna was good. Got to the point, explained things without a bunch of jargon. The hospital's busy, parking was a hassle, but the actual appointment was efficient. He listened, gave clear advice. Would go back.
So, I'd been ignoring this nagging pain in my side for months, telling myself it was just stress. Finally caved and booked with Dr. Nagarjuna at Medicover. The clinic was running a little behind that day, which honestly just gave me more time to worry. When he came in, he didn't rush. He asked me to tell the whole story, from the very beginning. He did a thorough exam, then sat me down with a diagram to show me what he thought was going onjust a muscular thing, thankfully. He laid out two options: try some physio first, or we could do a scan right away. He recommended starting with physio, which I appreciated because he wasn't just ordering tests for the sake of it. Followed his plan, and the pain's gone. It felt like he was really solving a puzzle with me, not just processing a patient.
