Patient Experience
I'd been to three different doctors over six months for this crushing fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Madhavi actually listened to me describe this weird, specific ache in my side I'd almost forgotten to mention. She ordered a different set of tests at Star Hospital and figured it out—it was a thyroid issue, but a complicated one. She explained it all with a diagram on her notepad. I finally feel like myself again.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital process than the actual thing. Dr. Madhavi's team at Star Hospital had it down to a science. In, out, done. The whole thing felt very normal, no drama. I was back at my desk the next afternoon with just a tiny bandage to show for it.
Parking at Banjara Hills is always a nightmare, so I was already flustered when I got there. But the front desk lady at Star Hospital was really kind, found my file quickly, and the nurse who took my vitals cracked a joke that actually made me smile. The place is clean and quiet, which helped a lot. It made seeing the doctor feel less like a chore.
Look, I don't like doctors' offices. I get awkward. Dr. Mannam has this way of talking that just puts you at ease. She asks about your family while she's checking your pulse, remembers my kid's name from last time. She never makes you feel rushed, even when you know she's busy. You leave feeling heard, not just examined.
