Patient Experience
For months, I just felt off—tired, achy, nothing specific. Saw a couple of doctors who said it was stress. Dr. Anusha Mekala was different. She actually listened to my whole rambling story, asked questions no one else had, and ordered a specific test the others hadn't. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on standard panels. She explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and starting to feel like myself. She didn't give up when the easy answers didn't fit.
I needed a minor cyst removal. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. At Star Hospital, Dr. Mekala's team had it all sorted. The nurse who prepped me was really calming, and Dr. Mekala herself talked me through each step as she worked. It was over before I knew it. The whole thing felt very straightforward and professional, no drama. Follow-up was a breeze, too.
Look, the parking lot at Star Hospital in Nanakramguda is always packed—I had to circle twice. But once I got inside for my appointment with Dr. Mekala, the difference was clear. The front desk staff actually smiled and helped sort my paperwork. The waiting area was clean and quiet, which helped my nerves. It seems like a small thing, but when you're not feeling great, a calm environment and people who know what they're doing make a real difference.
I've always been scared of doctors. Dr. Mekala has this really quiet, patient way about her. She didn't rush me. When I got flustered explaining my stomach problems, she just waited and then asked simpler questions. She even drew a little diagram on the paper sheet to show me what she thought was happening. It didn't feel like a transaction; it felt like someone was actually trying to help me, not just diagnose a chart.
