Had a persistent stomach issue for weeks. Booked an appointment with Dr. Thapoteja at Star Hospital. The wait was a bit long, but once in, he was direct. Asked the right questions, didn't rush. Ordered a specific test, called me himself with the results. Got a clear treatment plan. Problem resolved in ten days. Efficient and effective.

My husband was feeling very run down. We were both worried. Dr. Thapoteja listened so quietly and carefully to everything. He has a very calm way about him. He explained things gently, step by step, which really put us at ease. The treatment he suggested was simple but it worked. We're very grateful for his kindness.

I was so fed up with feeling tired all the time. Saw Dr. Thapoteja on a friend's recommendation. He actually figured it out! It wasn't just 'stress' like others said. He spotted a vitamin deficiency I'd never have guessed. Started the supplements he prescribed and wow, what a difference. I have my energy back!

Went in for my annual check-up, a bit nervous as always. Parking at Banjara Hills was a nightmare, full as usual. But the visit itself was good. Dr. Thapoteja reviewed all my history, asked about work stress (which is high). His advice was practical, not just medical. Left feeling like I had a solid plan to stay healthy.
