Patient Experience
Had a stubborn stomach issue for weeks. Booked an appointment with Dr. Keerthi Karanam at Star Hospital. The clinic was busy, but the wait was reasonable. She listened, asked direct questions, and ordered the right tests. Diagnosis was clear, treatment worked. No fuss, just effective care. Exactly what I needed.
I was really worried about some ongoing fatigue. Dr. Karanam has a very calm way about her. She didn't rush me, even when I was fumbling to explain how I felt. She took everything seriously and put together a sensible plan. I left feeling heard and much less anxious. The hospital itself is easy to get to in Nanakramguda.
What a relief! I'd been to two other doctors for a recurring skin rash with no luck. Found Dr. Karanam. She spotted something the others missed—turned out to be linked to a mild allergy. Prescribed a different cream and some diet tweaks. It cleared up in days. She's sharp. Parking at the hospital is a bit of a scramble, but worth it for the right diagnosis.
Needed a full check-up for insurance. Dr. Karanam was thorough without being alarmist. Explained each step of the physical clearly. Got my results back fast via the portal. She called herself to go over them, pointed out two things to watch, and said the rest looked great. Efficient, transparent, and genuinely kind. Felt well looked after.
