Patient Experience
My mother was admitted with severe stomach pain. We were all very scared. Dr. Ananth came to see her late in the evening, even after his rounds were done. He sat with us in the waiting area and drew a simple diagram on a notepad to explain what was happening with her gallbladder. He didn't rush us, answered every one of my brother's anxious questions. The parking at Star Hospital was a nightmare that day, but once we were with him, we felt calm. Mom's surgery went smoothly, and he called me himself the next morning with the update. We felt looked after.
I brought my husband in after a week of him feeling run down and ignoring it. Dr. Chintapalli didn't just treat the fever. He asked about his work stress, his sleep, everything. He was direct—told him point-blank that he needed to rest properly or this would keep happening. It was the kind of straight talk my husband actually listens to. The clinic was busy, we did wait a bit, but the time he gave us felt complete. He gave clear instructions, no confusing medical jargon. My husband is back on his feet now, and actually taking it easier.
Our young son had a bad allergic reaction while we were visiting family in Hyderabad. We rushed to Star Hospital, Banjara Hills, not knowing anyone. Dr. Ananth Chintapalli was so gentle with him. He spoke softly to our son first, not just to us parents, which made the boy relax. He explained the treatment in such a quiet, reassuring way. He even remembered to ask if our son had a favorite cartoon when suggesting ways to keep him distracted during the IV drip. It's a stressful memory, but Dr. Ananth's kindness is what stands out.
After my dad's check-up, we got some worrying blood test results back. I was a mess with worry. Dr. Chintapalli reviewed everything and basically said, 'Okay, let's figure this out together.' His approach was so practical. He laid out a plain-English plan: repeat this test, try this diet change for a month, then we'll see. No doom and gloom, just clear steps. When the follow-up results came back much better, I almost cried with relief. He just gave a firm nod and said, 'Good. Now we keep an eye on it.' He turned a scary situation into something manageable.
