Patient Experience
Been seeing Dr. Mannam for my blood pressure and general health for about 8 years now, since before he moved to Star Hospital. That's the main thing for me—consistency. He remembers my history, my family situation, and we just pick up where we left off. I don't have to re-explain everything each visit. The clinic at Nanakramguda is nice, but honestly, I'd follow him if he moved again. You just find a doctor you trust and stick with them.
As someone who manages a team and has zero time for illness, Dr. Mannam gets it. My appointment was at 4 PM, I was in his room by 4:10, and out with a clear diagnosis and prescription by 4:30. No fluff, just listened to my symptoms, asked the right questions, and gave me a straightforward plan. The pharmacy downstairs filled it while I got my car. Exactly what I needed.
Look, I was pretty nervous going to a big hospital like Star for just a bad cough and fever. Felt like overkill. But Dr. Mannam was really down to earth. He was like, 'Yeah, it's going around, let's get you sorted.' No scare tactics, no unnecessary tests. Just checked me over, told me what to take, and said to come back if it got worse. Parking was a nightmare, but he was good.
I went to Star Hospital last month because I'd been feeling run down for weeks. Just no energy. The waiting area was busy, I'll admit. But when I got in to see Dr. Mannam, he didn't rush. He asked about my sleep, my diet, work stress—the whole picture. He even connected my constant headaches to the fact I'd stopped going for walks because of the summer heat. His advice wasn't just a pill; it was small, practical changes. I started with the walks again in the evenings, and honestly, I feel like a different person. It felt like he actually wanted to figure out the 'why'.
