Dr. Kalyan Kumar A.V

For months, I was just tired. Really tired. My local doctor ran some basic tests and said it was stress. But Dr. Kalyan Kumar, he actually listened. He asked about things I didn't think were connected, like my skin feeling itchy. He ordered a different set of blood tests at Star Hospital. Turns out, it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad. I'm on medication now and finally feel like myself. He just didn't give up.

I needed a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. Parking at Banjara Hills is always a hassle, but once I got in, it was straightforward. Dr. Kalyan Kumar did the excision right there in his clinic room. He talked me through each step—'little pinch now'—and it was over in maybe twenty minutes. The stitches were neat, healing was quick. It was just a simple thing, but he made it feel that way.

My husband was admitted for observation. The place was busy, we had to wait a bit to get a room, but once settled, the staff made a difference. The nurses on the floor were kind, and one aide, I think her name was Sunita, helped me figure out the cafeteria. The room was clean, quiet. It's not a hotel, but it felt calm. Dr. Kalyan Kumar's team clearly works well together, and that matters when you're feeling vulnerable.

What I remember most is how he spoke to my mother. She's elderly and was very scared about some stomach pains. Dr. Kalyan Kumar didn't just talk to me, the relative. He sat down, looked her in the eye, and explained everything in simple Telugu. He never rushed her. He even cracked a small joke about her worrying more than her body was. She left smiling, which was a miracle. That kind of respect is everything.
